We still really need transportation in this game. Even if its just carpools for now. One of my favorite goals when climbing up the career ladder in the previous Sims games was seeing their new carpool at each promotion.
Where are they Sims Team?!?

todds were included because there was no fake todds in the game
but from the beginning there were fake cars, fake tram, fake ships & so on
since GT those fakes were improved in detail, CL introduced even more of those fakes, even fake pedestrians to enliven the surroundings
the devs wouldn't go to so much trouble to include & improve all those fakes just to replace them later with actual transportation
this is not going to happen in TS4
the best there can be is a car a sim can tinker on, but probably it will be made rather by a modder than a dev
Carpools and the school bus have been part of the game since the sims 1. I still don't understand why they got rid of them.
But the carpool is as much as part of the TS1 experience as much as the famous fires, the anger of waking a Sim up and the iconic whistle of the newspaper girl.
Perhaps, just for old times sake, maybe someone could reintroduce the car pool. I mean it is not really that realistic that Sims teleport everywhere
No, I don't think so. You just teach your sim to teleport. It is much better.
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
Bridgeport had fake cars...
You could drive the cars though????????
I'm talking about the taxis that drove of at random as FX, to point out to @Rukola_Schaaf that his/her prediction might not be a set in stone.
Having said that Bikes would make pracitcal sense in TS4 especially in scenarios when the sim is really uncomfortable leaving a venue headed home.
You can at least ride in a taxi. If your sim didn't have a car and needed to get somewhere and you were with a group a taxi would roll up to take take you to the subway station or your destination.
Do we have that here? No.
Seems that way.

I shouldn't be that way but it usually ends up being like that. Maybe it is just telling that TS4 is lacking compared to TS3? I am not trying to add any more fuel to the fire here but one thing that a lot of players feel upset about TS4 is that it does not have the content that they want and used to have in the previous games.
Cars are a popular feature and after everything it is about time that they where reintroduced
I would go as far to say the TS4 is lacking compared to the sims 2 as well. Even to the sims 1 to an extent with certain things. Hot date for example introduced loads of social interactions for romance the sims 4 still doesn't have 3 expansions in.
This thread doesn't have to be a sims 4 vs anything. Cars are a missed feature. One of many missed features we may or may not get back in the future. I expect if we get cars it will no doubt be in a stuff pack
To some degree, I think TS2 cars were a better experience (especially with actual animations rather than teleportation and more car features), but TS3 transportation was really great. Cars, bikes, brooms, horses, etc., and all of which could be customized? Really awesome.
TS4 got neither, unfortunately. Maybe that's just another reason why it's rated severely lower than both TS2 and TS3..
While I would prefer a Siims 3 open world with Cars being used to their full extend I am realist enough to assume that it will never ever happen, because of limittaions in the engine.
But that we don't even have Sims 1 and Sims 2 modes of transportation (i.e. getting taken to work/school via car pool / school bus or, later, be able to buy your own car in order to drive home/to school) is a huge step backwards from all previous parts of The Sims.
It is like the introduction of the magic wardrobe in Sims 3 being a huge step backwrds from Sims 2 (where you actually had to buy clothes)
