After a long time finally I've got some time to play ST.
I've started small map with 4 cities, time line on starting 1979 with default setting, only thing I've changed was time to 21 bits. Shortly after I've start operating few local bus services and one regional service number of passangers start to decline. At that moment I've realized that passengers network need to be organized differently to standart ST. I've played Exp some time ago but I've never maneged to play successfully for longer. In the past  I've also tried to tweak settings to suits me, but this time I was determined to play default settings. After spending some of my precious gaming time without any success I've decide to gave up.
That's why I'm asking you with what settings you play ST Exp.?
If you plying default, could you share with me some tips?
If you playing with your own settings, could you share with me what are they and why you changing them?

Cheers

you should aim for connecting the town halls first, then any tourist attractions.
one thing that is very different from standard is that average speed is important, so it's better to leave passenger lines running smoothly with no waiting for a certain percentage of load.
If the longer routes take too much time to reach their destinations, then it might be necessary to build a faster one, as passengers want to get to their locations as fast as possible.
