That's not really true. Sim City 4 did have congestion problems and it did simulate Sims going from point A to B. It wasn't as granular as SC5 simulating individual cars, but it did simulate groups of Sims traveling to and from work. It was also infamously buggy (something the modding community spent a lot of effort fixing) but it still was better than what we have now.

For the amount of time I spent playing Sim City 4 with the Network Addon Mod (the one that changes the pathfinding and tweaks transportation usage to be more sane), I was taking for granted that Maxis would learn from those mistakes, and even take a nod from the community in terms of what is believable transit behavior.
