Make server bigger

For example, a very basic system might consist of offering X% more money to those in server 2 (given server 1 is at or near to capacity) and have this bonus decrease as the two servers become balanced.

In a way, it'd be working similarly to how Uber operates by giving their drivers more money* to encourage them to enter certain areas at certain times, depending on demand. Some sort of natural load balancing between the servers might be observed as a result... It would be very interesting to see the effects of it at least.

You say that this would balance the servers but in actual fact the converse is true. By incentivising the use of server two, there is inherent imbalance here, at least until the servers become balanced whether that be by people leaving server one to make good of the increased income or by 'natural load balancing'.

The fact remains that people will go where people are and the only way to change that is to change peoples mindsets or to increase interest in CityDriving so that servers fill without issue.
