Cities: Skylines - Free expansions with new transportation options

Cities: Skylines celebrates its eighth anniversary and there is reason to celebrate. Together with the community, the birthday of Cities: Skylines is being celebrated in a big way. Developer Paradox Interactive has announced that there will be a free update that will expand the game with new transportation options. The update will be released on March 22 and will include new transport hubs, roads, and vehicles. In this article, you will learn everything important and what to expect.

New Transport Hubs

There are a total of 9 new transport hubs that expand the game with various transportation options. Among them are 2 hubs specifically designed for the "Snowfall" add-on and two more hubs for "Mass Transit". What's special about the new transport hubs is that they combine different modes of transportation, making it easier to switch between them. The combinations range from trams and subways to buses and monorails.

New Streets

The update also expands the game with 15 new streets that will revolutionize traffic and traffic management. These include streets with wide sidewalks, streets with multiple lanes, and special highway sections. Particularly interesting are the new streets that connect trams and subways.

New Vehicles

In addition to new transport hubs and streets, there are also new vehicles being integrated into the game. These include new vehicles for subways, trains, and taxis. The "Mass Transit" add-on also gets new vehicles, including 2 new monorail vehicles and 4 new ferries. The ferries are specifically designed for low bridges and can be used in canals. The "Natural Disasters" add-on also gets a new vehicle, a special bus that can accommodate 100 citizens and take them to a safe area in case of a disaster.

The update is a big gift to all fans of Cities: Skylines and offers a lot of new possibilities to expand and improve their own city. Once the update is available, it can be downloaded and installed for free. Then, players can immediately try out the new transport hubs, streets, and vehicles. Have fun playing!
