Yeah, maybe well get it this weekend. I just calculated how many hours it's going to take for my population achievements. Just using the taxis...400 hours!
I have those 2 other busses going, but one takes 3 hours to return. Given that I'm not a vampire so I sleep at night and don't run the taxis, I think it's an ok approx to just use the taxi production in my calculation. It's going to take me over a month! BoooooooooooooSugarmagnolia

I have 3 taxis so that's 15 every 5 minutes, times 12 for 180 an hour. Unfortunately I'm maxed out for the moment at my terminal and can only run 3 taxis
I'm debating an upgrade which will take time but hopefully allow me to purchase another taxi. Did anyone upgrade past lvl 10 for their terminal? If so can you have 5 taxis?? They need to open more slots to run cars/busses!

I use three taxis and two busses because I don't have five taxis. I have my population down from 135,590 to 78,000. Ughh so far to go.

Agreed. Right now the highest building available to me is the oil refinery, which doesn't look appealing, and neither does the next (toy factory). Neither do the sawmill/furniture factory. The weaving factory is ok if you've got the extra trucks for it. However, the food plant looks very appealing.
Absolutely agree on the taxis. I have a level 5 terminal and 5 taxis. They give tons of mangoes and coconuts, which easily turns into quick cash. No plans to buy higher level vehicles until I need avocados.

The food mill is a money maker and the bakery is good to have if you can afford the cash. I have most buildings and I use the sawmill and furniture factory making chairs. I do the 2 daily timed quests so I use all the factories. I have all but the last 2. I'm putting off getting those as I'm going for my 2.5 mil. Achievement then on to the 7 mil. When I did my 0 pop. I used 5 taxies when I was playing any length of time and buses when I was away from my iPad. The mine is good money maker, just make sand every 15 min. The oil refinery is good too for 1000 in 15 min. I try to go for the 10-15 min. Production times.
I hope this helps some.

I have 5 open (run double decker and red bus in hopes for an avocado, futile hopes) with 3 taxis. I have 72,000 more people to get out....going to take forever!!! It's totally messing up my ability to swap out factories etc from storage which I used to do all the time. Now that my population has dropped so low I can't do that anymore
I switched to sending all taxis until my population gets to 0 because it drops the population much faster (I'm now just over 4000 so not much further to go - should get there today). I abandoned the quest for avocados until I get there - except for overnight when I send all buses. And then, when the population reaches zero, I will switch back to sending all buses while I drive to increase the population again.

Ok that's reassuring, I'm going to suffer the upgrade time and buy some taxis. What lvl is your terminal? Mine is lvl 10.
