Compulsory cremation leads to mass transit?

[God Fearing Devoted]

I made cremation compulsory, earned the mass transit banner?

[The North Polish Union]

Well the bodies have to get to the crematorium somehow

[Honeydewistania]

Ashes to Ashes, Station to Station, just as David Bowie intended

[Trotterdam]

You were probably already very close to unlocking the banner, and this gave you a minor push that put you just over the edge.

People also usually travel somewhere to spread ashes

[Steelfeather Rapture 2]

I think it may be that each banner represents a kind of person who was at some point common in your nation. If I'm right, the "kind of person" who runs a really comprehensive mass transit system also (in the opinions of the devs) thrives in nations where cremation is compulsory.

The issue most likely bumped you up just enough in your public transport stat to get it. A logical explanation is that since funeral processions are gone, there's less congestion? :shrug:

My theory is that compulsory cremation means less space dedicated to cemetaries, space that could be used to build houisng, increasing population density and making public transport more effective. More riders=more ticket fares=more investment and public pressure to make transit even better.
