In the past, Cianwood city was accessed by using wind surfboard or using the ferry for 2k and a players could go back to Olivin city using a wind surfboard or the ferry NPC.
Now after re-implementing the transportation system (Ferry is the one involved here), a player can go to Cianwood city using the wind surfboard or using the ferry with a cost of a ticket (5k) and the player can get out of the city using the wind surfboard or using the ferry (if he/she has a ticket, otherwise, he/she may need to buy one for 5.5k).
The problem:
When a player comes to Cianwood city, he/she might not have a wind surfboard, transportation tickets or even enough money to buy a ticket for 5.5k. As a result, he/she may be isolated in Cianwood city for weeks or even months to get the needed money for the transportation ticket and if the player has started in Johto, he/she might not get enough money from battling Cianwood city gym's NPCs (The only source of money in Cianwood city for players with less than 5.5k) as they have low level pokemon.
I created this topic to know if the community sees it as a problem or not, and to discuss it with members of this great community to find a good solutions (if you think of it as a problem).
Some Notes about Cianwood city:
1- It does not have fishing/surf spawns.
2- It does not have grass patch other than Johto Safari which costs 6k to be accessed (Will not help players with less than 5.5k).
Some Proposed Solutions: (what I could think of)
*I actually knew this problem when I was talking to a player (if I remember correctly: NaguaK) who is stuck now in Cianwood city with no way out of it

Some Proposed Solutions: (what I could think of)
Solution A:
Keep everything as it is; it's the player fault not to think a head and gain more money before going to Cianwood city and as a hard lesson to learn let him/her grind the needed money from the gym's NPCs for weeks and maybe months. (In my opinion, this is not a solution!!)
Solution B:
Adding fishing spawns to Cianwood city to help players grind money faster (What if a player does not have Old Rod?) and adding grass patches to Cianwood city. (This might be a good solution)
Solution C:
Adding a teleporter for players with money less than 5.5k and without a wind surfboard. (It can be a temporary solution but I don't think it will be a good long lasting solution)
Or the ticket's seller NPC in Cianwood city takes all the money a player may have if he/she has less than 5.5k.
Solution D:
Adding a buyer NPC that can buy "trade-able" items (like pokeballs, revive, escape ropes or evolutioanry stones) from player for money.
