I mean, after spending more than a thousand hours fixing traffic problems, I even briefly thought about changing my career to become a transport planner. If some other mod/game gives me even more precision and options, I'd probably be spending all my free time in it.

Skylines is a mediocre city simulation game but a great traffic management/simulation game.

I would think you would be highly disappointed with what you can actually accomplish considering bureaucracy/politics/budget and all that. In Cities you get to be dictator.

Exactly. The bureaucracy is usually the reason why we can't bring the great smart solutions from our dreamed-up virtual worlds into the real world.
