Line Frequency chart

below is a chart of how many trains you will need for each line you create. The minimum is the amount you will need for the line to even function. but does not take into account the time it will take passengers to get to and from the stations or goods to walk to the stations or walk from the stations to the industrial buildings. The preferred travel time adds around 5 minutes. Which is generally the amount of time it takes for goods to get from the platform to the industrial buildings. 5 minutes also allows 2.5 minutes in each city for passengers to get to the depot. So when you create your intercity transit keep the times under 2.5 minutes to get to the depot. If your intercity loops are longer then 2.5 minutes or the time it takes your cargo to get from the depot to the far side of the city you will need to use a faster time.



When trying to figure out the frequency for a line. add 1 train to the line. This will tell you the total time for a trip. If you already have multiple trains on a line just divide the frequency by the number of trains you have on the line to get the base frequency.
