I spent more than two years to create this game which enables players to drive a train following signals and based on precise physics culculation while other trains run simultaneously according to timetables. There are 37 sets of Tobu trains and 7 of others running on lines of some 50 kilomters. You are to drive precisely and safe. The ATS game-- replicates actual operations of switch rails, signals and crossing gates. reproduces passing loop on a single line, train overtaking, and stop signals before arriving at terminals. uses transition curves on railroads to offer very gradual curve. gives you general idea of how signals and safety equipment work. lets players know why it takes extra time during rush hour. Licensed by TOBU RAILWAY CO.,LTD. This is a work of fiction. Train lines and stations are used fictiously. Any resemblance to actual locales is entirely coincidental.

A new generation of city driving simulation. Built with Unreal Engine to deliver high fidelity visuals and a level of realism typically found only in PC titles. Bus Simulator PRO 2026: Urban Rivals continues the spirit of Train Simulator PRO USA and Truck Simulator PRO USA, bringing that same dedication to craft into a modern, living 3D city shaped by the rhythm, density and layout of real New York streets. Every route is an invitation to focus. To read traffic, to feel the weight of the vehicle, to keep the gentle flow of passengers moving through the cabin. Time of day shifts. Weather changes the mood of the streets. Light, sound and motion blend into a driving experience that feels grounded and intentional. Your journey begins with a single bus and a few simple routes. Over time, you build a fleet, unlock upgrades, refine handling and progress through a structured driving career that rewards precision, discipline and consistency. Each improvement changes how the city responds to you. Online multiplayer adds a sharper edge. Not through complexity, but through immediacy — a short, skill based challenge where real drivers meet in the same space and every decision carries weight. It is fast, competitive and quietly intense, capturing the spirit of Urban Rivals in a focused real time encounter. Customization lets you shape your fleet far beyond color. Handling profiles, interiors, performance tuning and visual upgrades allow each bus to become a reflection of your driving style. Subtle adjustments matter on crowded streets. This is a simulator for players who value authenticity. For those who appreciate the quiet tension of staying on schedule, the careful reading of traffic, the satisfaction of a well executed turn and the long arc of a growing driving career. If you want the ultimate modern city driving experience built with next gen engine technology, this is your next stop.
