Towns and Passengers

• You should be able to bribe the local authority into giving you better ratings if you are really needing to build a station in the area.
• The number of destinations available to passengers from a single station should have an effect on the ratings.
• Passengers should actually care about where they are going, it seems unrealistic to take hundreds of passengers each month to a village with a statue, a church and three houses. Perhaps the number of passengers wanting to travel to another town should be a proportion of the passengers based on the populations of the destination towns. For example, if you have 1000 passengers, 3 destination towns, destination town one has a population of 1000, town two and three 500, then 500 passengers would go to town one, 250 to town two and 250 to town three.
• It should be possible to build through stations, whereby not all the passengers get off at that stop just because it accepts passengers.
• The wealth of the passsengers should be a factor too, it is silly to assume that every passenger can afford to fly to the other end of the map in supersonic aircraft. Perhaps a town supplied with gold/valuables would have more wealthy customers.
• Towns should get larger than they do at the moment.
• The catchment area of a station should be determined by the distances the transport system is prepared to transport the passengers. It is silly that a bus service across the town has the same catchment area as an airport service to the other side of the world.
• A pick up service could be an option, whereby vehicles go around the town to pick passengers and take them to the station/airport. This would have the benefits of increasing your catchment area and increasing your ratings. However it would be a free service so it would cost you a small amount of cash.
