The reasons behind this are quite obvious:
We had to react to this absurd money farming that had replaced the normal gameplay with just running up and down one road. This problem has started to grow with bikes but was brought onto ludicrous levels with the GX Buggy. Apart from the negative impact it has brought to the gameplay, it also had a negative impact on the economy and caused a great imbalance to other jobs, like bussing or deliveries.

How come the whole economy was adjusted for one car? Why not just take the buggy out? Or maybe even maybe just adjust the payout for the buggy? What about car prices, are they going to be adjusted too with the new economy?

I don't see the need to change car prices. The base incomes have not changed, only the extra (intake restriction) incomes.

As for the other part of your post, nothing is set in stone so perhaps it'll be revised again. However IMO +5 seems like a reasonable income cap.

Understood. Thank you for your time.

Everything is capped to a +5 right now, this is also a great injustice.

Instead of capping what has always been here, why not just increase payout for deliveries and bussing significantly to match?

The change was long overdue imo. TC money was known for its consistency and stability, but the release of mods stirred up things. Especially when the bikes came out. The higher income rate was merely meant to compensate for the slower speeds and the inability to reach the speed limit, where the money is earned. It wasn't meant to make them earn 3 or 4 times the amount that other cars earn. So this decision basically backfired and caused those money grinding runs which have nothing to do with the gameplay TC is known for.
Last but not least, adding restrictions does still help a lot as it increases the income at slower speed and +5 isn't the end of the world. It's a great income that 90% of the cars can only dream of.

I must have missed something if there was the opportunity to "earn 3 or 4 times the amount that other cars earn"

XFG/XRG/UF1 50% used to be +6 for years
Buggy was what, +8?
So according to my maths it was maximum of 1.33 times the amount and not 3 or 4. But correct me if I am wrong.

Maybe compare that to other cars on the map. Like the FXOs and FZ5s

Yes, ok. I will rephrase.

For years people who focused on money farming were able to get constant +6. The buggy gave a constant +8. It's not like the buggy was hell of a money machine. It was just 1.33 times more than what was usually possible for money farmers.

Yes, I am fine with limiting income. I wasn't even driving that buggy at all properly to gain money.

bring +6 back hhhhh

[fWANKy]

-6 for fwds

In a perfect scenario that would work, but.

According to this you have to own a personal vehicle, have a heavy vehicle driving license(THIS should be implemented), and only then you're able to actually profit on delivery and bus driving. Otherwise you pay to work.

Trucks/bus (50~60k)

Deliveries, only really "worth" it to make when have 50% restriction on the truck, cause money when barely driving, since it takes a life to load/unload the cargo, and only good to really try it when cargo upgrades installed, and of course the helpers too. (not mentioning the fact you install the helpers on a vehicle, weird eh?)

Bussing, worth it at all, but not really worth at a rental, except if you have some decent trip to help on the rental and kinda pay itself.
