Am I the only one who is having trouble with the schoolbus and the carpool?
They will arrive when they are scheduled to and my sims get in.. and the car doesnt move. It just sits there the whole day. All my roads are connected-can anyone help me please?

I this on a world you created? If so you might wanna double check them roads. Also make sure your rabbit holes are easy to get to. never seen this issue. I know if roads are not connected sims will get out and go to the other piece of road.

So that should not be the issue. The camera and non sims routing would cause this issue. let us know if you fix it.

I've had 2 road issues in the world I'm working on. The first one was the carpool just sitting out front with a sim in it instead of going to work. I had the Base up on a cliff, and a small section of road in front of it. I noticed that the taxi would go to the Base without a problem but would stop at the intersection instead of the stretch of road in front. I deleted this section and the carpool worked the way it should.

A second problem I had after adding in the manhole decoration. I had one stretch of road that cars and taxis wouldn't travel down, instead they would bypass it and drive around the longest way, or get out and run down the road. Deleting them, or making sure they were totally flush with the road fixed the issue.

The other lot I had trouble with was because it was too close to the road, and evidently overlapped the sidewalk by a tiny bit. I moved it back just a bit and it works now.

Seems there are a lot of potential issues with lots and roads unless your very careful about placement and road grade.

I solved my issue with the carpool just sitting there by checking my routing data.

In this mode I could see which roads were bunked up (they had a dark blue square where they didn't meet up correctly)

Interesting enough, the taxi worked, cars would drive over it, and bicycles had no problems with it, it was just the carpool. But the car pool didn't budge.

With routing data showing and using the move tool I was able to fix the issue. (the problem happened to be right in front of my sims house)

It seems that cars will go over it if it's off a hair but the carpool is a bit pickier.

Also, if your roads have the slightest overlap they will appear connected but aren't.(again the the taxi and townies will use it but the carpool won't) Especially if you have a section that you added onto.

I have this problem too and was just looking for a solution. I am going to try the suggestions listed and see if they help. I also just downloaded the new patch and was wondering if that was the problem but sounds like must just be my roads.

Thanks everyone for sharing!
