But in that case it may be desirable, especially if it gives a
significantly shorter route.  Presumably the main problem is picking
up sentried units unintentionally, but notice you can get that even
without cities, if a ship crosses through the square of another ship
it will pick up any passengers (up to its cargo limit).
Not sure what should be done about these.

Then probably the AI isn't making full use of Triremes once it gets 
Lighthouse either.  Could be relatively easy to fix.
