Title: A Good Bus-System Tycoon?
Post by: Hot_Dog on October 04, 2011, 12:05:36 am

I've been looking for a game which does a really good job at letting someone design a transit system and then just letting it run--making adjustments from time to time to make money.  Ideas?

I tried Traffic Giant and it doesn't work on my computer.

These might not be exactly what you're looking for, but perhaps they're close?

I played a cool game once called Transport Tycoon:

And the open source version:

In it's day, Transport Tycoon was amazing, but it's a bit dated these days.

It's bus management is excellent, but only ends up making a small amount of the game, because you just don't make enough money from them.
