Passenger Vehicles
Passenger transportation is the main source of Money Tokens in this game. Passenger vehicles are used to transport Passengers between towns. Passengers arriving at a town will also increase the town size. Also, if you have enabled Passenger Destination, the people will automatically transfer between buses and trains. That way you can increase the amount of people at train station, bringing them from the far away parts of town.
Mail Vehicles
Another way of generating Money Tokens in the game is to deliver Mail between Post Offices. These buildings appear in the Steam Era and they show up in all towns on the map. Mail works in a similar manner to passengers , including Passenger Destination with automatic transfer of the Mail between trucks and trains.
Delivering Mail also contributes to the town growth.
