ADVANCED PASSENGER SIMULATION
Each person is individually simulated. Given a home address and a workplace, people decide whether to travel by foot, by car or by using public transport. The method of choosing one of the three options is as simple as it is effective - take the fastest and cheapest route!
Of course, it’s in your hands to build a powerful transport infrastructure to help people to decide which option to take.
DYNAMICALLY SIMULATED URBAN ENVIRONMENT
The more workplaces people can reach within a limited travelling time, the more attractive their home address becomes. More attractive means a higher land price, leading to higher urban density and growth.
Therefore you can greatly influence urban development. Build a new bus line into an unconnected quarter, and the quarter will grow! Build a railway connection to a neighbouring city, and both cities may grow!
PROCEDURALLY GENERATED BUILDINGS
As opposed to the majority of other transport titles, buildings are not premodelled and instanced. In this game world you will never see the same building twice. There is always something never-seen-before to explore!
An advanced land use simulation decides whether to build residential, industrial or commercial buildings. For instance, residential areas don’t like industrial air pollution, but they need to quickly reach lots of workplaces.
