### 5/5 — Addictive

*2018-04-19, version 2.6.2*

Best one. This game and  (city rescue) were one of the apps I started to play few years ago. City rescue, it’s not updated on iOS 11. So not fare.but this is not bad even the free version

### 3/5 — Emergency stop. iPhone 6 Plus

*2018-03-07, version 2.6.2*

The emergency stops doesn’t work. I could have a better score if the cars stop once I press on them. But I have to press on them a few times and sometimes that doesn’t work. It’s very frustrating.

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2015-04-03, version 2.6.1*

Amazingly addictive though!

### 5/5 — Addicted

*2014-02-18, version 2.6.1*

This game is AWESOME!!!!! You should download it I'm totally addicted my brother is to I delete games that are boring off my iPhone5color and this is definitely not getting deleted

### 5/5 — Great time waster!

*2013-10-21, version 2.6.1*

Love it and it gets challenging after a while

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2013-09-16, version 2.6.1*

Very addicting awesome game

### 4/5 — Good

*2013-04-17, version 2.6.1*

A very moorish traffic management challenge with cool jazz background music. I keep going back to it, so quite a lot of 'mileage' in it. My one criticism is that you stop a taxi with a tap, but as score increases and everything goes faster, it often takes three taps to register and this is extremely annoying as the ability to stop taxis as you progress is crucial. 5 stars if devs fix that and fix it for iPad. Nice little game.

### 4/5 — Addictive

*2013-01-02, version 2.6*

This game is fun and addictive. I'd like to have a higher volume on it, as well as the ability to play trials of the other maps before I buy them.

### 5/5 — Best App Ever!!!

*2012-12-13, version 2.5*

Even though there's only like 2 levels for free I still keep playing them over and over again! It's so addicting! The only free game that's actually worth getting!

### 3/5 — Good!

*2012-06-24, version 2.5*

fun game but does go on for a while and can get slightly boring when playing it for ages. good otherwise!
