This will be the final post about the highways, disappearing cars and Sims looking for work in other cities, until further notice.

We saw the cars disappearing between Arcens and Deramey in the morning commute. And what about the evening commute then?

I first looked at the situation in Deramey:



There are more Sims returning to Arcens by bus, than came into Deramey in the morning. However, the traffic queries were not taken at the same time, the evening commute query was taken some game months later in Deramey. Then, there are a few cars and the usual trucks that, as we know, vanish at the city border.

Now on the Arcens side:



The numbers for the cars and the 'buses' match those of the Deramey side, within the error margins. But why is the volume color solid red?

There is something quite fishy in that area. My hunch is that the traffic simulator is misbehaving. Or it could be that, for some odd reason, some data wasn't saved properly when exiting the city, and this cannot be recovered. Or something else entirely. I shan't worry more about this, there are plenty of other things to attend to, as I continue to develop the cities.
