In case the building requires raw materials, this tool-tip will show you which
raw materials you require in specific. If you‘re not playing in easy-mode you
will have to keep in mind that industries do not accept just any amount of
raw materials per month.

City Info
Move your mouse cursor over a city for closer information about this city.
The tool-tip shows the name of the city and the population.
However, much more important is, which products the city needs and how
many. The tool-tip also provides this information. The numbers always stand
for the number of wagonloads per month. The first number shows how
many wagonloads you have delivered this month; the second stands for
the max. number of wagonloads you can deliver.

The cities grow, and in the course of time they will need more and different
products. Therefore, it‘s always good to keep an eye on the cities.

Passenger Transport
Passenger transport is another good way to make money. But keep in mind,
passengers don‘t want to go just anywhere. Passengers have a fixed idea
of where they want to go, and if you can‘t reach these destinations, then
there‘s no way in the world any one of them would even consider taking a
train - even if it‘s the most modern luxury tram in the world.

The city info will also show you where the passengers want to go. You can
find detailed information concerning the number of passengers who want
to leave the city and travel to other cities.

Schedules for passenger trains may also include several stations. Each
passenger will stay in the train until he/she has reached his/her final desti-
nation. Of course this also applies to all other means of transportation.

Freight Rates
No freight rates, no income. Every product in the game brings in different
freight rates. Generally, you can reckon that you will make less profit with
raw materials than with processed products.

Like we said at the beginning: you don‘t purchase the products you trans-
port. Therefore, you don‘t spend money for them. And you also do not sell
the products. What you get is the reward for transporting them.

the products. What you get is the reward for transporting them.
The obtained freight rate depends on the distance you transported
a product. But now please don‘t think you have to cover the longest
distances to make a lot of money. The price is calculated according to the
shortest possible connection between two locations. That means, if your
vehicles take the long way round, it will surely have negative influence on
your income.

your income.
The obtained freight rate also depends on how quickly you transport a
product. For this reason the average speed you reached is calculated. You‘ll
have to be really fast for certain products, so you can obtain a decent
price. You can emanate from the fact that iron ore is hardly perishable, raw
materials do not have to be delivered very quickly.
Perishable goods, especially passengers or mail, must be delivered to their
destinations as quickly as possible.

Therefore, it is surely possible that you will obtain better prices on shorter
routes with a slower, but yet fast-accelerating vehicle than with a vehicle
that may be fast, but takes a very long time to reach its max. speed.
