NOT POLITICAL NOT TARGETED AT ANY GROUP JUST A FUNNY, THOUGHT

I had this shower thought the other day. As the advancement of modern games and the complexities they have, we should require anyone in charge of leadership of a city, state, national level to play a game like City Skylines.

This is due to the amount of complexity and foresight one must have to navigate, build, and develop their cities people, infrastructure, etc…

This can help show if someone can even get their population happy, and above 100k, or if they put their sewer system upstream and pollute all of their people. If they do great then awesome, but if they don’t …well… then they probably aren’t the best fit.

What other games would be a good test or a fun test to see how they do?

Again… funny random thought… not politically targeted…

    It’s a comment section about a popular city sim that uses those approaches for public transit…

    BRT=Bus Rapid Transit

    LRT=Light Rail Transit

      Ok thanks. Calling those two just “bus” and “rail” would have been sufficient. Those acronyms don’t really give me much extra information, quite the opposite really. What’s wrong with using normal words…

      I am vaguely familiar with Cities Skylines and many other city sims, and I’ve never heard those acronyms. This isn’t a Cities Skylines-specific community, so it’s more than fair to ask for an explanation of them.
