The developer, Colossal Order, is also responsible for "Cities In Motion" and "Cities in Motion 2", both of which task the player with improving public transit systems. I haven't played either of those, but having played Skylines, I can only assume that the developer's prior games heavily influenced the game mechanics of this one.
There's an insane amount of mods available for Skylines too, and the ones that expand the traffic management mechanics are very enjoyable.

I mean, after spending more than a thousand hours fixing traffic problems, I even briefly thought about changing my career to become a transport planner. If some other mod/game gives me even more precision and options, I'd probably be spending all my free time in it. Skylines is a mediocre city simulation game but a great traffic management/simulation game.

- trickstra 8y agoExactly. The bureaucracy is usually the reason why we can't bring the great smart solutions from our dreamed-up virtual worlds into the real world.
