Why Nationalize a Truck Stop?

[balto]

Instead of paying to Nationalize the Truck Depot (which costs money and reduces Happiness), wouldn't it be just as easy and effective to build your owb truck stop right next to town.., or somewhere nearby? I still do not totally understand the math, but this is confusing to me.

I see no reason to nationalise the truck stops unless you're swimming in money and have no IP, the happiness hit isn't worth it.

I think you get less truck points if you don't nationalise the truck stations and I don't think you can build more at that location if a private one exists - not that that is much of an issue because you don't need to build them inside towns.

Ok that makes sense now! I think since the truck stations are relatively cheap to build anyway (I say that tentatively, each world seems to vary greatly in what resources you have to play with) you're probably better off just building your own.
