When placing the multiplatform end station in your city, you may sometimes notice that citizens aren't really using it. The symptoms may be:

• No intercity trains are coming to it.
  
• Your local trains are running empty.
  
• In the rare cases when there is an intercity train, nobody enters or leaves the station and everyone is just switching to another train to go somewhere else.

There are some reports that this behavior depends on the type of road you use to place your station at, but having a big road in the place where everyone should just use a tram doesn't really look good.

When placing a pedestrian path parallel to a road or close to another path you may notice that it doesn't really connect at all it's length, and cims are only entering or leaving it through the ends or, sometimes, at the joins with another paths.



Now look at that purple pedestrian path in the asset editor. You may notice that it's just a straight line with no obvious places to leave it, except the end. If you have a road right next to your station, cims will just use those to go to or from that road through the station, but won't go to the platforms to use your trains.

Another issue may be that the platforms themselves are not pedestrian-friendly on all their lengths, but I don't see an easy way to check this version.

You'll need Fine Road Tool, Fine Road Anarchy and, optionally, Move It to complete the following steps:

1. Enable anarchy.
   
2. Draw an elevated pedestrian path across your station end, right where that pink line is on the screenshot above. Extend it outwards enough to be able to precisely add segments inside without interfering with end nodes.
   
3. Use Move It and align your path elevation with platform height by selecting all nodes and pressing "To Object Height" to your station and then using PgUp and PgDown buttons to fine-tune.
   
4. Switch to ground mode and add small path segments to each platform and to the road in front of station entrance.
   
5. Remove unneeded outwards segments.

If done correctly, you final result should look like this:


You may upgrade your paths to invisible for aesthetics or just leave them be, but the entire station is now working and accepting passengers as it should.
