About

Mass Transit is the latest expansion for Cities: Skylines, the award-winning city-building game, and it brings several new systems into play to help citizens traverse their towns in speed and style. Commuters can now get around on the water, up high mountain peaks, and even through the sky thanks to the addition of ferries, monorails, cable cars, and blimps to the game.

Even with that caveat, Mass Transit adds more character and depth to what’s already the premier city-building simulation. It may be a bit disappointing that some of the original game's big-picture philosophy and mayoral authenticity has been sacrificed in the process, but it can be argued that these changes have also done an impressive job of filling out the public-transportation element of city design.

All in all, Cities: Skylines – Mass Transit is a wonderful addition to what already was a rather robust city builder. With this expansion’s focus on public transport, you’re forced to think even further ahead when you’re building new zones. Before this expansion, I was never really interested in building a rail network, but I’ll be damned if I didn’t spend a significant portion of my time designing a (really ugly looking) network for my city.

Colossal Order has given the Cities: Skylines community yet another exciting expansion with Mass Transit. While the new content may not be available immediately in every way you play, it’s worth it once you get there. How you get there is completely up to you, but might I recommend the blimp?

The detail to which you can customise the cities in here is astounding, and Mass Transit is not only adding more to the plethora of options already in Cities skylines, but also tweaks some of the more frustrating elements, easing up the controls, and letting the player really get into the nitty-gritty of the road and traffic networking.

The Cities: Skylines - Mass Transit DLC is unfortunately not the most essential DLC for those who are wanting to add more to their city. The additional vehicles, hubs, and depth of control are not so much a welcome addition but just a pleasant distraction. However, what this DLC has done is prompted Colossal Order and Paradox Interactive to update the user interface on the PlayStation 4, now making Cities: Skylines a must have recommendation for any simulation fan, even more so than it was before.

Mass transit adds a nice layer of depth to the transport infrastructure of the game. It allows players more options and choice when it comes to initial road building and city planning. It also allows infrastructure improvements late game that makes the old-school congestion issues much less frustrating to deal with.
