* NO subscription and NO annoying nag screens. Works OFFLINE. City Train Simulator is a realistic 3D simulator where you’ll become a real commuter train driver. Drive modern and classic trains, each of which is faithfully recreated in 3D: working instruments, control levers, signals, and the braking system. Your task is to drive commuter trains along the tracks connecting the metropolis with its suburbs and outlying stations. Picking up and dropping off passengers, stopping precisely at the platform, and adhering to the schedule and traffic signals - that’s what makes this simulator a real challenge. Different game modes are available in the game: you will be able to drive the train as a driver, and also take the role of a passenger to make an unforgettable journey through all available stations. In addition, players will be able to choose between free mode and exciting missions, while striving to improve the physical parameters of the train to achieve maximum speed and improve their commuter train driving skills. In addition, you'll be able to drive the train in several cities, including NEW YORK and LONDON, with more cities to come in the future updates. Game Features: * Dozens of kilometers of suburban tracks with detailed stations. * Several types of commuter trains - each with its own handling characteristics. * A realistic driver's cab with interactive elements (3D view from the driver's window). * A reward system for maintaining speed limits, smooth braking, and announcing the current stop. * Fully offline - take the controls anytime. Step into the role of a train driver and hone your skills in our realistic commuter train simulator! Transport passengers, open and close the doors at stations, use the train’s horn, and enjoy realistic train physics. Become the one who transports thousands of passengers every day. City Train Simulator is an addictive adventure. Discover the world of commuter rail - just you, the tracks, and the whistle of your electric train.

City Train Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
