Less than two weeks to go until City Transport Simulator: Tram finally launches in Early Access on Steam on June 20th. Today, we want to introduce you to the different game modes and the line creation feature.
Week 25 – Line Creation
A highlight in City Transport Simulator: Tram is the ability to create your own lines. This is made easy thanks to Tramau’s 22.5 km track network – our largest yet!
Simply choose a starting station, connect as many different stations as you like, and end the route at one of the ten terminus stations. You can also select the line color, the long and short name, and the code to enter into the IBIS, the onboard computer. Then, assign your trams to the line.
Passenger Management and Vehicle Deployment
Each created line has a set number of passengers who will use it every hour. To transport these passengers, you will need appropriate vehicles. On the market, you can purchase various trams, differing in price, capacity, and passenger comfort.
Depending on the length and connectivity of a line, you may need more or fewer vehicles. It’s important to plan carefully and choose the right trams to ensure efficient passenger transport and maintain high satisfaction levels. The trams you select will actually operate on the assigned lines in Tramau!
Timetable and Interval Management
In City Transport Simulator: Tram, you can not only create your own routes but also set the intervals and timetable. Simply set the start and end times for the line, then choose an interval between 3 minutes and 1 hour. The timetable will be automatically generated based on these settings.
The AI trams will follow the created routes and timetables. Be mindful of how you set intervals and times to avoid congestion and delays. Efficient timetables are just as important as connected lines to ensure smooth operations.
Career Mode and Sandbox Mode
City Transport Simulator: Tram offers two different game modes: Career Mode and Sandbox Mode. In Career Mode, you can build your own operation by earning XP to unlock resources and vehicles. In Sandbox Mode, everything is already unlocked, allowing you to start driving all trams and create lines without any restrictions.
Sandbox Mode is perfect for players who want to create routes and schedules without limitations. Even if you don’t want to create your own lines, this mode includes six pre-made lines that work logically and cohesively. This means you can have a fully functional network from the first minute.
