Which public transport would you like added to the game?

I mean, we have décor ones, like the train in Oasis Spring and the airplanes in Willow Creek, but I mean which useful public transport would you like in the game?

Personally, I would love my sims to take the train or the subway, and also being able to see your sims inside a plain whenever a World Adventures EP is created, which one would you like most to see?
The only one I can think of is the subway in the Late Night Ep...with the chance of being robbed :scream:

I'd like to see this, not rabbithole transit systems, but real transports where you can interact andd meet other sims:

Buses
Trolleybuses
Trams and trains
Metro/subways/undergrounds
Ferries
Airlines
Coaches and intercity rail

    I suppose they could do that if they made the vehicles "lots".

    Do you mean a parking lot, that would be awesome and we could pay a fee to park outside the shopping mall, if we ever get a shopping mall.

    No. I meant if they designed the vehicles like actual lots. You get a load screen and that "lot" is your bus, trolley, train, plane, etc. An interim lot for going to work (or wherever)....kinda thing.

    Otherwise, with the game engine, I don't see how it's possible.

    The problem is, is that it would add more load screens. One to get on the bus, and one to get off the bus to then load your original destination. Most people are wishing to avoid more load screens, not add them. I'm just saying that's the only way I see it possible to be in or on whatever mode of transport the op wishes for.

    Just being logical.

    I did not mean this specific idea, but you were able to find a way to ad vehicles without removing loading screens. Do you understand what I am trying to say?

    I'm not a game coder. I get what you are saying, but I have no idea of what they can, and can't do, with the engine they have. I just can't see how a sim could get on the trolley/bus at their house, use it and interact with others on it, while traveling to the next destination without it being it's own loaded "lot".

    Boat! Someone that is not only décor. They don't need to remove the loading screens, but I like to see my sims getting in a car or something, rather than just disappearing in the ear like they don't care :D it rhymes!

    Taxis obviously. Community buses would be nice. Cars and motorbikes (ownable)

    That's it I guess. For now anyway. There will probably be an expansion that will add vactions with boats etc. I think I saw some concept art a long time ago for a big cruise ship so who knows. Would be nice to be able to own a boathouse.

    Cars, bikes, subway, boat, schoolbus and I would even be happy if they could ride the tram or whatever you call the thing that goes around the neighborhood.

    Even though we don't have a truly open world, I'd actually like to see busses zipping around taking my sims here and there. Probably because I use to take the bus to work.

    I agree -- if they maybe waited on a platform then disappeared into the trolley car or steamboat, it would be easy to imagine that they're commuting to their job in the city when they disappear from view. For neighborhoods that don't have the trolley or steamboat, maybe Sims could walk to the corner and get a bus.

    I would love to see subways and buses in Sims 4. I wouldn't mind seeing trains either.

    A party bus.
    A stakeout van with video monitors, so you can spy inside Sims homes. Would be good for storytelling.
