Trolleys in San Fierro

“Google, what is a trolley?”

A tram (also tramcar; and in North America streetcar, trolley, trolley car, or cable car) is a rail vehicle which runs on tracks along public urban streets, and also sometimes on a segregated right of way.^[1] The lines or networks operated by tramcars are called tramways. Tramways powered by electricity, the most common type historically, were once called electric street railways (mainly in the United States) due to their being widely used in urban areas before the universal adoption of electrification.

Cable cars can be controlled by either NPCs or actual players. In San Francisco, the cable cars begin their runs at 6 a.m. and continue until midnight.  Their can be an economy set up around cable cars in-game. As of August 2017, cable car fares are $7.00 and all fares are one way. There can be discounted fares for seniors but only during non-peak hours. Players should be allowed to purchase $17.00 day passes for their characters and players should be able to purchase all-day passports directly from the cable car operator. The cable car operator should be able to make change up to $20 only.

What if there was cable car operator as player and as NPC when the player is offline.

@kane, is this possible?

Edit: I guess @kane didn't see this! 

The reason i voted for the NPC is because let's say, in an escape plan a player would expect the tram to arrive at an almost exact time, and that would work flawlessly with NPCs. On the other hand, a player might go afk for a minute or could miss a station.

I'd like to see both. Maybe if you got paid for doing it, more players would be more inclined to do it.

Should be controlled by NPC, as @Danny stated, you can't trust that a player is focusing on his job ALL the time..

Definitely should be controlled by NPC's.

Absolutely love the idea, creates RP, I wouldn't mind if it was controlled by a player or NPC.

If it's possible for people to get in the tram as a passenger then I'm all for it. An NPC should be driving it though.

This would be pretty cool, ngl. I support this. This could replace taxi job or something.

I don't believe it should replace taxis, but it should be another way of transportation.

Initially, I agreed with this but then getting more in depth into it, I really don't think it'll be a good idea due to SA-MP's physics in general, it might cause a lot of bugs such as vehicles getting destroyed / or people abusing it in a way which can't be predicted from now, and if the Trolley is added, I don't think it should be replaced with taxis either.

NPC unquestionably. 

NPC.

Yeah, have an actor mount the trolley and it'll be all good. Was hoping to see this come up.

Yes, adding these adds a new form of transportation and makes the city feel more alive.

They should stop at their stops too, there's many tram stops around the city.

It won't destroy vehicles or will it?

I don't know if there is possible script-wise for automatic trolleys to have sensors of cars, in order to stop or slowdown. Would be an idea to have them driven by players, as a script job.

Fully supporting. Rather it be scriptwise, so we can buy fares.

NPCs - hard to make a system that doesn’t interfere with roleplay (I.e car accident in the road and BOOM Henry the fucking tram comes smashing through EMS)

Players - Could actually be a nice little side job Driving a tram around

another problem is you can’t enter as a passenger but it could probably be done scriptwise creating an interior and you get teleported into it
