Is there an easy way or rule of thumb to drive the loop and pickup mostly customers who want to go "forward" ? As in not trying to fully min max the game but just improve it beyond random
I don't think so, unfortunately. The first few locations in the game are all pretty safe, it's not until you get to the parts around KFC and the church that people start going backwards, from what I remember. But as far as I can tell, there aren't any general patterns, they're all location specific.
I think the biggest pitfall is the highway customers, going from the baseball stadium or the station to downtown and back. Yeah, those are valuable customers and going back and forth will rack up your score in the short term, but doing that will kill your run once those locations dry up since you'll end up with a huge dead zone. That's what I did before I knew better. There actually does reach a point where driving passengerless across the highway becomes necessary, but that's for high level play (maybe $80k+), otherwise it's to be avoided like the plague.
The site with all the notes is still up! I could have sworn it went down at some point.
Not a guarantee but it feels like customers on the right side of the road generally want to go forward. Much like in real life though not every passenger gets the unspoken rules, but the strategy still seems to work enough of the time. So I'll personally pick up red and yellow "short trip" passengers headed both ways in an area, and then when it starts looking sparse, I'll pick up a green "long trip" passenger on the right side of the road to take me into the next area.
Not sure if it makes a difference, but I had a T-Mobile SIM card I bought in Seattle in 2010 and was carrying from phone to phone for years, but I recently replaced the SIM because I heard newer t-mobile SIMs can do better finding 5g coverage.
Looks like it was downvoted to hell and marked as dead super fast. I leave the flag for "dead" on in my HN settings (leaves it super desaturated) and this seems unusual
The dog probably as well - and both horses and dogs are similar to people in that they are great at traversing long distances.
Horses also have semi similar more specialized analogues - you could argue Camels filled a similar niche for very dry areas. And other animals like Goats/Llamas/Alpacas for mountainous areas.
