Are there any ways of increasing passenger volume in the game? (Aside from simuconfig, w/c I'm not sure if it can do)

I'm using version 100

thanks..

You need to help growth of cities by carrying passengers, mails, and goods. If you are too lazy to do so, please use public service to increase the city population.

Two possibilities:
Use the +100 button in the public service menu.
Add citybuildings using the citybuilder tool. Now you have complete control on the type of buildings.

The mail does not increase the passenger level? I mean, puting mailboxes in the places you want to increase the passengers flow does not increase it?

In v99.17.1 (and some previous) there was this line in simuconf.tab:

##################################industry stuff#################################
# passenger generation (default is 16) Smaller values means less passengers
passenger_factor=16


Isn't it in v100?

Yes of course it is still in version 100.0. But to get it work it must be changed the value in both simuconf.tab: first in the ~/simutrans/simuconf.tab and in the second one located in ~/simutrans/pakfilefolder/config/simuconf.tab.

yes certainly, "just" have a full transport network ... I think its a matter of patience playing with pak64 my games had been profitable after maximum 2 game years, with pak128 its more like 5-10 game years. At a certain point there are many passengers ...

@Randrag:

It should be enough to change the setting in ~/simutrans/pakfilefolder/config/simuconf.tab since these values should overrule those from ~/simutrans/simuconf.tab

Yes that is right. In simutrans passangers have destinations where they want to go, and if you do not offer a connection to that place they will stay at home. You must join every place with a passanger network ( cities, factory outside cities and tourist attractions).

You are right
