In this tutorial you can learn how to Build Stations for road vehicles to load and unload and how to pick a suitable location for a road station. Road vehicles best be used to move passengers from town to town or even from one side of town to the other. Once you get the hang of building simple routes, you can use road vehicles for other things as well.
