Tram Tycoon is a city railway 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 tram vehicles (electric city train vehicles), send them to an appropriate rail line, and sell them to replace old ones (accident prevention) to grow your pocket rapid transit business. Tram stops are also an indispensable part of the game. You will be responsible for building, repairing, and upgrading each city train station 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 tram car has a different capacity and will give you a different amount of experience points for every transported passenger during service, so choose wisely what train to buy before each contract. GAME FEATURES: - 60 absolutely free levels to choose from - 14 tram models (from historic to modern) - Growing cities with many types of buildings - Go through tramway history from 1960 to 2020 - Day phases and different weather conditions - A quick, accessible, well explaining tutorial Set all cities in motion with trams and become a successful traffic giant!
