About this game
Take control of the bus network of any city you choose and build an efficient public transport system.
Pick any city in the world and gradually develop your network. Buy buses, place stops, plan routes, and transport passengers across the city.
Running a transport network isn’t just about placing routes. You also need to manage your finances, optimize your lines, and adapt your network to passenger demand to avoid losses.
Every decision affects the balance of your company. Too many buses and your costs rise. Too few and passengers start piling up.
Expand your fleet, improve your routes, and build a network capable of moving an entire city.
