relation between inhabitants and passengers

[Vladki]

Hello,

I wonder how does the passenger generation work with respect to simu-inhabitants. I play pak128.britain standard (latest stable) and the demo game - now I am in the year 1993 and the world has 330000 inhabitants, but I have a some seriously overcrowded rail stations, the worst with 317000 waiting passengers, and two other at cca 160000 thousand and one 100000 passenger. So I have more 2-3 times more traveling people than there are inhabitants in the world. Interesting isn't it?

Hello Vladki
what's for pak128.britain version have you?

Simutrans doesn't track where inhabitants of houses/cities are, so if it takes too long for people to reach their destinations, they may embark on a new journey while statistically still not finished with their former journey.

Although written with modifications to Experimental in mind, my post here (especially the first post) documents how the number of passengers and reported population is calibrated in Simutrans (including Standard).
