Is it possible to fit the rails with bus lanes to at least stop transit cars from using it?

I would love to have those in game. Only issue is that towns are so far apart in TF.When these trams (trains? kinda half-way, I guess) come out they are the fastest vehicles in the game, at least for now. (Which isn't far off from real life.)
Is it possible to fit the rails with bus lanes to at least stop transit cars from using it?
Yes, it is, but only after 1950ish, when bus lanes become available. Currently I have a bunch of cars driving down mine and it's slowing down my interurban service.
I decided to make it possible to purchase up to 5 steel cars in one train. This may look unrealistic, but I've seen pictures of the Chicago North Shore Line (upon whose cars my generic steel cars are based) running six-car trains on the streets of Milwaukee, so I don't think I'm too far off.
(so much for world's longest tram Siemens Combino XL...) -
I think bus lanes become available in 1925 with the concrete roads and streets, no?

This is really great
I hope you release the tramways seperate -
I like these very much. I used only the interurbans and freight motors to transport things, and I was earning money hand over fist. I noticed that the wooden model seems to be quite large on the rails: when the cars take a sharp turn, the wheels are obviously too wide for the tracks. I think the model should be scaled down a small amount, because they are incredibly large when on the streets. It might be because the tram rails are narrower than the normal rails, but I do not know. Other than the scale, the quality of the models is very good, and I cannot wait to be able to use the Electroliner in the game.

@Spacek531, I think Urban Games scaled down the American trams to fit their narrow-gauge tram tracks. (Bizarrely, I think the length is still right, but the width is wayy too narrow on the PCC, at least.)
Interurbans were more halfway between standard gauge railroad rolling stock and trams anyway, it should be expected for them to be a little oversize.
Just uploaded version 1.4, which includes the steel interurban.

working on the Pacific Electric "Blimp" cars... so named because they were so huge when 5-6 of them would pass by on the street.
Steel interurban and MP54 pictured for comparison. These ran on what is now the LA Metro Blue Line on both dedicated right-of-way and mixed traffic. They were essentially converted mainline passenger cars.

That looks good.
-
well they're pretty big.
-
They indeed look big compared to the PCC. Maybe there is even snow up there in the higher regions?
-
That looks mighty fine. You're obviously really good at texturing, which is something I could never figure out. On the other hand, the ingame models look strange when they aren't scaled down. Other than that, I can't wait to see what you make in the future!
-
oh it's definitely scaled correctly

Oh goodness, it is. I still stand by my opinion that it should be scaled for the tracks that it uses ingame.
-
Please don't scale it! For people who do not like the large trains on the 1000 mm tracks you will find standard gauge tracks here: http://www.train-fever.net/fil…r-Stra%C3%9Fenbahngleise/

Wow Donoteat, I am blown away by this mod. Minus the fact it is missing dedicated trackage without vehicle traffic, lol. But one day perhaps, eh?
Anyway, One of my favorite things in history is interurban cars and trains like this. Awesome job!
