## What is City Bus Tycoon?

City Bus Tycoon is a transportation time management strategy game in which you have to transport as many citizens as possible before the time runs out (do not let them travel by a taxi). It is necessary to regularly buy new city bus vehicles, send them to an appropriate bus line, and sell them to replace old ones (accident prevention) to grow your pocket rapid transit business. Stations are also an indispensable part of the game. You will be responsible for building, repairing, and upgrading each city bus stop and of course for the budget of your virtual transport empire.

Earn as many experience points as possible on each level before the time runs out. Every city bus has a different capacity and will give you a different amount of experience points for every transported passenger during service, so choose wisely what city bus to buy before each contract.
