It is a free open source transportation simulation game available for Windows, Mac, Linux and BeOS.
In this game, you must establish a successful transport company and build the necessary infrastructure to transport passengers, mail and goods between cities, factories and touristic attractions by land, air and water.
Supplying a factory with electric power will increase the production and allows for fine-tuning the economy.
Passengers and mail are transported between different cities and tourist attractions and may use several methods of transportation to reach their destinations.
The terrain in Simutrans is freely-modifiable, and different layers like tunnels and bridges can be stacked, allowing for subways or highways to be possible.
It has a day and night cycle, different climates and seasons.
Nearly all modes of transportation exist in Simutrans.
At least buses/trucks, trains, and ships are always provided. If defined in the PakSet, aircraft, monorails and/or maglevs can also be used.
The player in this game strives to run a successful transport system by constructing and managing transportation systems for passengers, mail and goods by land (rail, road, tram, monorail, maglev), air (aeroplanes) and water (ship) between places. Like OpenTTD, Simutrans is an open source transportation game based on the Transport Tycoon idea. Originally written by Hansjörg Malthaner but it is now maintained and developed by a development team and an international community of volunteers.
The main goal is to provide an efficient transport system for passengers, mail and goods to be transported to their desired destinations fast and with minimal transfers and at the same time making the company grow to avoid bankruptcy or administration.
