Personally the traffic control is my favorite part of City Skylines. The second one is set to come out later this year as well, really looking forward to that.
OpenTTD is a much better traffic simulator though. Factorio too with its trains (Factorio is widely known to be "simpler OpenTTD" trains).
I tried openttd again after 15 or so years and it felt very simple to me. The passengers were just cargo with no predetermined destinations and could be unloaded to any station that accepted passengers. Am I missing something?
Click the "CargoDist" setting for mail and passengers.
That was introduced like 5 years ago, but requires you to go into settings for some reason rather than being the default. This causes passengers to individually each have a source-and-destination, and they'll take different transit lines (plane, train, and bus) in the network to reach their destination. This allows for more complex traffic patterns like loops, hub-spoke, etc. etc.
