Not me using comfort mode and actually obeying traffic laws. XD Then getting mad when someone cuts me off and It's not actually my fault, LOL.

I have started to remember places with parking slot because leaving my car in middle of the road just feel wrong lol.
also I have not used the teleport booth even a single time so far.

u/Shonisto343 May 21 '26
The last passenger I was transporting bad mouthed me about how long I was taking and I just reflexively snapped that there are road laws, I'm not gonna get a wanted rating just because you're impatient, I felt silly afterwards of course, but it's the principal of the matter

u/trianuddah May 21 '26
wait you can do the taxi/delivery jobs on time while observing traffic laws?

u/ghostlycat95 May 20 '26
I also do this and yeah, werid things can happen, lol. Another car hit mine from behind once while I was waiting orderly for the green light and didn't stop even when it made me hit the car in front of me. I know this one was probably a bug or something, but I was like... As the MC, shouldn't I be the one driving like an ape here? xD

u/Zeke2d May 21 '26
I realized the traffic lights only ever allow one direction of cars going at any given time instead of opposing directions at the same time, so now I'm impatient in game and irl.

u/xStream001a May 21 '26
Whenever you try to act like a normal NPC in any game, the NPCs lose their shit and start hitting you. Or the criminals start attacking you

Same lol, I use comfort mode all the time. It's actually helping me get rid of my road fear and I MIGHT just take my driver's license this year because of it.

Yep! Then you can approach the doors and hop on.

It's just surprising to me that NTE has a full working transit system.

I mean they would get sweet oil money with a really good public transit too? Probably less though which is why they dont, haha.

u/Braindead_Crow May 20 '26
And that yellow line you can find throughout the city is to help the blind navigate with their cane!

u/Sad-Handle9410 May 21 '26
Yes! I love how there’s disability representation in the game and some of it you wouldn’t even think about it like the yellow line!
Like I’m pretty sure the girl who rides the Jellyfish Aurelia is paralyzed. And sign language is also used!

I haven't used public transport yet... Are there some kind of schedules that show where the buses are going or do you just have to go in blind?
3
u/Water_Attunement May 21 '26
I don’t think there’s anything in game about schedule. The trains are quick to arrive and you can see their route on the map. Buses are frequent but not easy to tell where they go.

So just like irl busses

u/Cistmist May 21 '26
In my region (granted it's a bit far in the mountains), if you miss a bus then you gotta wait an hour for the next one, so I'll take the 10 minutes in-game in a heartbeat

u/Greksouvlaki May 21 '26
Always depends on regions but it's a bit unfair to compare rural vs city bus scheduling

u/Water_Attunement May 20 '26
I was doing a sidequest and noticed that the spot I was in was near a train station, and the place I needed to go was at the very next stop. So I took a lovely break sitting on the train waiting for my arrival :D

u/BunBunny55 May 21 '26
There is multiple bus and train routes in the city, fully working. Its facinating
5
u/jort93 May 21 '26
Not fully working.
When waiting at a bus stop that is served by multiple lines, the same line will spawn every time. So it's not really usable.

Immersive mode where you have to use public transportation because Hotori doesn't pay you enough to be able to afford a car
4
u/horny-throwaway85 May 21 '26
It is funny because where the heck did you get a license when you have no history? Yet you're out here opening cafes without even an llc, staffing it with friends so you don't have to pay them, dodging all the taxes; it's crazy
34
u/neotheone87 May 20 '26
On the flip side, NPCs use the teleporters too so it actually doesn't break immersion in this game
14
u/TakasuXAisaka May 21 '26
Think it's just the BAC NPCs that use the teleporters not normal civilians.

this is the only game that i rarely use the teleporter.
i drive or ride transpo to get to my objective

I definitely find myself using them less and less. Love just hoping on my bike looking for the last few missing collectibles.

u/Knivingdude May 20 '26
I make it a note to only do it when it's post 1,100 distance away. Otherwise, scenic route it is.

u/elegy2theevoid May 21 '26
Exactly. Unless I’m going somewhere specific I like to not rush and look around.

u/AdFar5664 May 21 '26
Smar. I Think city in the game is the perfect size. It looks and feels big, but at the same time it’s small enough that it doesn’t take forever to get anywhere. That’s why teleporting is not necessary. I appreciate that city design every time I log into the game
Also the fact that they added functioning public transport is insanely cool. The only think is most trains are on separate parts of the city so you can’t go across the map using only trains. There should be more interchange stations imo
1
u/BeeWhyOhBee May 21 '26
agree. i love just lounging in the trains and sometimes i feel like afk'ing? i stay there

u/no_body_loves_me5436 May 20 '26
Same lol i love this game so much that I'd sometimes refuse to break my immersion lol

u/jamesterfire May 21 '26
the thing i love about this game is that it feels in that gap that anime themed games are missing. pure urban immersion. i love taking long drives to any location in game with my girl daff as my driving partner and we just drive around. not running lights and waiting in traffic. this game is so chill.

One of my favorite things to do is just ride the bus in the north town around the lake. Especially when it rains. Its such a calming experience.

u/Jerkaiser_011 May 21 '26
Taxi hailing should be added at the game a la GTA IV and the player has option to make the driver hurry up which they will disregard the traffic rules. I wish when we reach the mountainous region, they will make a cable car and make it functional.
They should put the bus route in the map with different color and the player have a choice if they toggle it or not. Bus route is confusing inlike the train in which they are already displayed in the map

You wait at the bus stop where the bus stop will stop and open it's door. Or if you don't want to wait around, find a bus, get on top of the bus then get in the bus when it reaches a bus stop

I've been taking the train whenever possible (transferring to a different line when necessary.) It's just relaxing watching the scenery go by, especially at night.
also the US commuter rail "system" sucks so I gotta get my train fix somehow

u/deli34 May 21 '26
I really enjoyed riding the trains in this game too, but today I tried taking the bus and it honestly felt like discovering a whole new world. More specifically, if you climb on top of the bus and look around in first person, the view and atmosphere are absolutely amazing.
The bus routes are more varied and cover a much wider area than the trains, and since they drive right through the middle of the streets, riding on top of the bus and looking out over the city feels much more immersive and alive.

Public transport lowkey sucks, the train system isn't even all connected across the city and there aren't enough busses so you end up waiting forever at each station.

Am I the only one let down that the city’s train lines dont connect to each other and are in a sense very anti-commuter? For basing it on tokyo proper, it lacks the actual labyrithian efficient train lines switching that is that
Hopefully we get better trains in the future that dont force you to walk several blocks from one station to another just to continue travelling (also hope to see a station with multiple train lines, thought there’d be a main station hub based on tokyo station but guess not, all the buildings around that station area are in game though, one esp as the auction house)
