quoted from the general in concept thread cuz I'm too lazy to reword it...

would you please check if you guys can put some sort of a 'frequency of use' counter on the hired skill trainers we mayors can place in player cities?
there is a maximum of 15 skill trainers and it's really hard to know what people are using, cuz well............ there is no way, unless you ask them 
to rephrase: we need a counter on player city hired skill trainers that keeps track of how often the skill trainer in question trains a player........ there could be a radial menu option to 'Check Frequency of Use' ... then we mayors could just click it and it would say how often it had trained someone... we could then remove the trainer with the lowest number and hire a different one
please please please!
I'm sure you have gone to get trained in a player city only to find out the skill trainer you need is not there.......
thanks

that would be alot harder to code than a simple "used++" one line of code

I think this is a terrific idea. I'm a relatively new mayor of an established city, and I'm trying to be responsive to my citizens, but I can't tell which trainers are or are not being used. I change them frequently in response to requests, and then find that I am screwing someone else who was using a trainer I assumed was no longer needed. A counter would be extremely helpful, especially if it could be reset occasionally.

How about giving the mayor/city a CUT of the trainer money? thus generating income AND providing with a means to count up who uses what.

/agree.
A use email report would even work. Tying a mayoral salary to the use of mission terminals, trainers, garage, shuttle, etc. would be good also.

Get a report after your election (in which your city receives 100 credit per use of a trainer):
Bounty Hunter generated 200 credits
Creature Handler generated 0 credits
etc, etc, etc.

/agree obviously.
Any further information on what the city is upto is a great help. A cut of trainer profits would also be most welcome.

reports of the use of any of the city services:
Shuttle
Terminals
Trainers
City Usage number - since it is already noted when ppl enter and leave a city - why not add that to a generated report
