Do you have plenty of parks around the commercial areas? Also, I don't really notice that much difference with happiness between 0% and 11% tax rate. It's only 12% and above I notice it significantly drops it.

There appears to be a limit on the amount of trees you can plant. Can't plant any more

There's a mod which ups the tree count from ~250k to several million I believe... on the workshop
Has anybody seen that traffic management mod which appeared on the reddit yesterday? Looks fantastic - you can zoom into a specific junction and then for each road connecting to it toggle between different rules (e.g. STOP, give way, no left, no right, etc.)... It's only a WIP but seems really good so far and makes a lot of stuff much better (including having proper roundabouts)

The bus network could do with some work. Each line should be a different colour to help work out which is which. I laughed i had like 300 people at each bus stop by the main metro station. I started removing the bus stops hoping they would find a different solution, i had like 1000+ people running up and down the road looking for a bus stop, they all went back down the metro in the end lol.
I had a passenger train station and removed it to replace it with a freight train station, but i didnt remove the lines first, so the passengers were just stuck in the air floating. I then placed the feight station on top of the floating people and the train lines were still showing but under the freight train station haha. I ended up having to remove each stop on the train line. There should be an easier way to remove the train lines with one click, same with bus lines.

you can change the colour of the bus lines. click a bus, the little window pops up and you can change it there.

There's a workshop mod that sets a different colour to every transport line.
One thing I find annoying with the transit lines is clicking the right one! Sometimes I have to delete stops on the metro or bus just to be able to click the line "under" it if I want to add new stops.
Or am I missing some easier way to do it?

offices come under industrial (the unlock ones though so not straight away)
Aha that might explain why my wood industry suddenly had no workers when I zoned loads of offices nearer to my residential zone when there was demand for commercial! 
I therefore assume people will choose the workplace nearest their homes if there is an over supply of workplaces?

The colour transport mod that is mention above also adds the ability to turn individual line visibility on and off. I have not tried it yet but just added a load of mods that i will try when i get home.

And here's a youtube video of it in action:
(edit) and actually looking in the thread there's an even more awesome video of the progress here:

Anyone got some tips for starting a city out? Road placement, roads used etc.
