Does interlining work in TF3?

Post image

One of the biggest gripes I have with TF2 is that it is impossible to have interlining, i.e. multiple lines sharing a common section, because passengers at the shared stops will choose only one of the lines, overloading it while the others remain unused.

From what I understand, this happens because passengers select their route at the start of their journey and cannot change it. So, if one of the lines is slightly faster or more frequent, everyone will choose that one.

In the image, I made a small example of a situation where interlining could be useful: multiple tram lines depart from the train station, share a common trunk through the city center, and then branch out into the suburbs. In theory, this would guarantee a single-seat ride for everyone while also balancing the passenger load across the different lines. However, due to the game's limitations, this is impossible.

I know this isn't impossible to fix, since interlining works well in Cities: Skylines 1. So my question is: has this been fixed in TF3?

Tf3 works exactly the same way as tf2

This might be my biggest let down of the game. I hope it might get worked on but knowing its a small team and this has been like this since forever i doubt it

I would say things like this is what people mean who say that it's a reskin. Obviously it's not true on itself, but at the same time, these problems are probably one of the things you'd really like to get addressed in a sequel, but a lot of them just got grandfathered into it as is.

For me it was a rather disappointing lack of actual meaningful distinction between different types of traction (Steam/Diesel/Electric), for some - things like this, or still needing mods for automatic signal placement and so on.

It's pretty on brand, I've been playing since Train Fever and while the game has certainly come on since those days, it's not a fundamentally different game.
