Model City Transit Tycoon

Take charge of the transit company in a tiny tilt-shift city glowing in warm evening light. Commuters walk to nearby stops, wait, ride and pay fares. Anyone you can't carry drives instead, clogging the streets.

Build your network: place stops on streets, lay rails for trams, then use New Line to click stops in order. Buses need no rails but can get stuck in traffic, and ferries sail between piers on the water. In the Lines panel you can add vehicles for shorter waits, extend routes with new stops, set service hours, add a rush-hour extra and adjust fares. Riders can change lines at stops close together.

Grow the city: districts with good service gain new homes and taller buildings. Complete each City Charter chapter to unlock buses, the harbour, ferries, Cathedral Hill and the Hillside Terraces. Day-trippers heading from Lighthouse Point to the Pleasure Pier will happily stroll a little further to catch a boat.

Watch the books: upkeep is paid every midnight, and three days in the red means the company folds. Keep public approval up too. Your city saves itself automatically.
