Sometimes I let the game run and do something else (watch TV etc.), because
I don't like the 50's and the 60's. One time I forgot that I had the game
running, and when I got back my bus station had 4000+ passengers, the train
station in the same town had 1000+. This was quite impressing, consideriing
that the city only had 6000+ citizens!
