One thing I could not figure out was commuting between cities. Is this done automatically based on available jobs and such? I did not see anything in the region view to persuade my citizens to go work in the factories of my neighbouring city. Maybe I didn't have enough people to go around.
I was playing a random game with 2 other dudes in a small region last night, and I found commuting/tourism/education commute was most noticeable if I built my large structures around filling gaps that the other cities didn't have. So when I built my University early in the game, I'd have about 300 students commuting (mostly via train) to my city to take classes. They however worked on massive power generation projects, so I skipped building any kind of power generation buildings and just bought it off the grid.

I really like the new regional system.
