Omnibus – Horse-Drawn 19th Century Bus
The Horse-drawn omnibus was the first vehicle that we would consider a public bus – no prior booking was required, and passengers could request to be let on or off at any point. Apart from 1662-77, when a similar service was developed by Blaise Pascal in Paris, the first bus lines began in 1824 in Machester. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsebus for more details.)
This model is based off of George Shillibeer’s first omnibus in London, although I made it slightly taller to make the proportions look a bit less odd. The horses themselves are from the horse-bay prop by niis-ku ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=531375563), who in turn got it from "the internet", with no source given.
Carries 20 passengers, all other stats are standard articulated bus stats.
Known Issues:
1. The horses are not animated. Not really feasible to get around this one, animated parts (besides wheels) aren’t natively supported in Cities: Skylines.
2. The light cones aren’t exactly connected to the actual headlamps. There seems to be a bug in Cities: Skylines where road vehicle trailers (where the headlamps are located) don’t actually show their lights, despite having their locations set. So I put them on the horses and moved them back to line up with the trailer, but they’ll float away during turns.If I made this all one vehicle it would work, but then you wouldn’t get the trailer animation, so I chose to do it this way.
