[2020] failure of public transport lines in the city

If you're using mods, make sure you don't have any old broken or incompatible ones by checking your mods against this list:

If you can post your savegame, we might be able to see what's happening. To do that, go to the Content Manager, find Savegames on the left, find your save and click Share. Then give it a name and a description if you'd like, click Upload and copy the url of the page that opens. Post that here and we'll be able to download the save ourselves. :)

It uploaded as it should. Here's the link. :)

I'll take a look and see what I find :)

First things first. I really recommend you save manually, and make a new save each time. This one is an autosave, and it's never great to have that be your main and only save. I add a number at the end each time I save, so I have CityName1, CityName2, CityName3 and so on.

I don't think this is a mod issue, I think it's the way the roads and lines are set up. You have some very long and complicated transport lines, and as far as I can tell, they're the ones that are broken. In trying to fix one, I came across this green line:

Notice how it's going all over the place on the highway? It's getting trapped in all the one way roads trying to get to the next stop. It's not ideal and I get confused just looking at that image, trying to track down where it's going. :P

I would redesign the lines having problems. Try and go for some simpler shorter lines. I recommend these two video tutorials to get some ideas for how to more efficiently set up your public transport lines.

I also think it’s not the mods. I removed the suggested ones and did not fix the problem.
I will follow your advice and redo all bus transport lines. But what I don't understand is how long bus lines can interfere with metro lines, for example, they are also failing or disappearing. So it is with monorails and trains. I have even remade the city's three line replaced by subway, and I left it for cargo only.
So I think it is something bigger than the complexity of the bus lines.
Thanks also for indicating the tutorials, I will watch.

Metro (and train) lines usually fail because of too sharp angles. Since Sunset Harbor we can't have sharp turns for metro, they need smooth curves similar to trains. So look at intersections and tracks connecting to the stations and make sure they're all smooth curves to avoid issues.
