13. Cities: Skylines Mass Transit DLCUpdate notes

The vast majority of this DLC is super easy. Start by loading up your city (I'm assuming you are using the end game save from this walkthrough, but any decent sized city should work).

Build a couple of blimp stops and a blimp depot wherever you want. Create a pathway from the depot to a stop, and then to the other stop. Then create 10 routes between those two stops for:

Blimp? Blimp.

Have 3 blimp lines.

Blimp? Blimp.
Offline Mode - These achievements require play in game modes that do not necessitate a connection to any online services.Single Player - These achievements can be obtained by a single player.Cumulative + - These achievements are obtained by repeatedly performing the same action or set of actions over time.

Build a couple of cable car lines (these don't have a depot, just need stops and cables and the routes are auto-created). I'd recommend going along the outside edges of the entire city if you want to knock this out real quick, maybe every 4 blocks or so. Once they are set up, wait a little while for:

Clark Cable

Transport 5,000 passengers with cable cars.

Just like the blimps, create a ferry depot and 2 ferry stops (in the water, although technically they can be on a canal). Then create a pathway connecting all 3, then create 15 routes again for:

Rejoice and Be Ferry

Have 3 ferry lines.

Now time for a monorail. No depot needed here, so create two stops, lay some track, and create 10 routes for:

Triorail

Have 3 monorail lines.

Finally the one that requires actual effort, you need to complete all 3 Mass Transit Scenarios.

Ferry Empire

You need to hit 25k population and transport 250k people by boat. Simplest way to do this is to buy the tile to your east and set up a grid city just as you did for the main game. But leave a couple blocks space between it and the existing city and along the N/S borders. The twist here is we are going to run a square shaped wide & deep canal around our grids instead of highways. Leave a little space between the canal and your grid as the ferry docks you will be placing need to be set back half a block or so from the canal. You can connect it into the existing lakes in the S, and stick a ferry depot there. Make a ferry path going to your canal, and then set up stops spaced around the outside of your grid. Turn on free mass transit and "prefer ferries" and maximize your ferry funding. You can also put the residential on one side of the highway and the commercial/industrial on the other to force them to travel more. This should get you a few hundred passengers every week. Then you can just turn on the day night cycle and let it run.

I also created an office/commercial zone north of the highway, and a residential south of it. They were probably about 4-6 double block wide and 5 or 6 blocks high.
I purposely only connected them to the highway side they were closest to, so it was inconvenient to get from one section to the other by car. I then looped a canal around them, and added some docks and stops. (Don't forget you need to include water (and make a path) so the boats can get from the depot to your loop.)
You will have to redo the highway a bit to take it over the canals. It works best if you come at the call exactly perpendicular, go up one elevation step and get right up to the edge of the canal before trying to cross it. You may need to drag it a ways past the canal to get it to let you place it, and afterwards you can delete the excess and bring it back down to ground level.
This is good for another 200 or so per week.
You can also stick some addition office/industrial/commercial/residential outside the loop and stick some docks and create routes there as well. I ended up getting up to 550/week before I stopped and just let it sit.

Fix the Traffic

This one is actually ridiculously easy. The trick here is that traffic only counts if there are roads. So the 82% requirement can be reached simply by pausing, deleting red roads wholesale, then unpausing for maybe ten seconds. Of course this will negatively impact your population, so you need to hit 35k first and have a little buffer. So pick an open area with access to a non-awful highway. Build a grid there to get yourself up to 40k population or thereabouts (feel free to try earlier, like 36k, just save first). Then delete all the bad roads. Alternatively you can build a lot of roads (like for the snow plowing achievement, see snowfall DLC page) which will bring your average up.

Trains!

The real challenge on this one is hitting your population goals quickly enough to avoid failing.

City:

Image 4

This is basically the same layout as before. 9 double blocks wide, 15 high. I would recommend growing with this general layout as quickly as possible and not worrying about the train stations until you have hit your size target.

The train stations I set up like this, by joining two E/W blocks together (remove the road in the middle). You'll want to center the station in the double (or quadruple is suppose) block and go up an elevation step as quickly as possible.

Image 1

For the overall layout I did 6 stations on each half of the grid. E/W it was on blocks 2/3 and 7/8. N/S it was on 3,8,13. I connected each set of 4 using E/W tracks, I didn't bother with N/S connections. Set up your routes and just wait. While you are waiting you can just build random tracks outside the city to hit your track building goal.

Once you beat all 3 you get:

Totally in Motion

Win all three Mass Transit scenarios.
