Cities: Skylines is going through its last miles with a bang, as a new free content update arrives to the city builder game on March 22.
The Hubs & Transport update focuses on adding new transport hubs- buildings that connect two or more kinds of public transport together. 9 are available in total, though only 2 of those are available in the base game.
Cities: Skylines Hubs & Transportation Update- New Hubs
Base game players gets the Harbor-Bus Hub, which combines bus stops with harbours for cruise ships and the Multi-level Metro Hub combines underground, ground and elevated metro in one building. To use a Malaysian reference point- it’s KL Sentral.
With the Snowfall DLC, you get the Metro-Tram Hub, which combines a tram stop with a metro station, and the Bus-Train-Tram Hub which combines the three mentioned transportations.
If you have the Mass Transit DLC, the Harbor-Ferry Hub combines cruise ship and ferry travel in one building. And the Harbor-Bus-Monorail Hub combines the three mentioned modes of transport.
If you own Snowfall and Mass Transit DLCs, you get access to the Ferry-Tram Hub and the Monorail-Tram Hub with Road and the Metro-Train-Monorail-Tram Hub with Road. The road underneath is a 6-lane road.
