Cabinet Suggestion Make the bus expensiver and/or take longer

[Pearot]

- Username: Pearot
- Suggestion Title: Make the bus expensiver and/or take longer
- Elaborate (Why do you think it should be added, how will it improve the server, etc.): The city bus costs one kruna to take and is instant. I'm suggesting making it a few krunas more expensive, and/or make it take a few seconds to transport the player. This would make it more realistic, as bus tickets are usually a couple of dollars and are definitely not instant. It would also increase the importance and usage of cars, bikes, planes, and submarines, which is currently sorely lacking.
- Does this require the installation of a new plugin (Yes/No): No.
- If you answered Yes on the previous question, please link the plugin (Leave blank if you answered No):
- Additional Information: Personal vehicles should be an investment, breaking even by saving money or time eventually. Currently it's not worth it at all, other than for recreational use.

I agree; I would like to append making it cost more on an exponential scale, so at some point you will be forced to buy a car (and it will make people conserve their rides) while having new players be able to afford transportation.

I agree with this, we need more leisurely slow transport.

I support this suggestion.

It could promote role-play a lot and it would also support the markets related to buying and selling cars, bikes and other means of private transportation. This way, we could then also work on creating bus passes and other funny things that improve role-play even further.

How to: two possible options to implement this

(a) I think we could have bus fare prices get more expensive in proportion with the player's balance, not by a lot but enough to promote the use of cars, bikes and planes, like the players are suggesting in the thread. I would do 3-4 brackets of player balance with each bracket having a higher bus ticket price.

(b) Another possibility could be that of making bus tickets free for new players and then for any other player, making the tickets more expensive the more you use it within one day. For instance, a new player with a balance under 1000kr and 1 week of /jd will never pay the bus, whereas other players will pay 1kr for the first bus in a day, 2kr for the second one and then 3 for any other ride within the same day.

I do and will support anything that gets me closer to having a logistics company that is actually profitable.

This is a forums post in relations to a minecraft server; if it's a word in urban dictionary, it's going to be good enough for this.

Peach has the average MP response

I do plan on writing a more detailed report to present to the Parliament regarding further player involvement in logistics and vehicles

The bus could work on a time = block system (E.G., 1 minute = 100 blocks.)
Also the same for the fairs could work on a time = Kr's (E.G., 1 minute = 3 kr.)

There could be a option for buss passes of different tiers (E.G., A day buss pass = 20kr, a week buss pass = 140 kr (or possibly a small discount of 20kr or something.)

I heard there's a plugin that can move blocks on rails, without falling apart.

We could have a new transportation plugin.
Like this:

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/traincarts.39592/

You can also have route planners.

It links up with dymap as well.

You can also add another plugin which enables players to purchase tickets, and go through a gate.
