What is City Transport Simulator: Bus?

City Transport Simulator: Bus is not a DLC – it's a standalone game on the CTS platform, which also powers CTS: Tram. In CTS: Bus, you become a bus driver and build and manage your own transport company in a highly detailed, European-inspired city.

Take the wheel of real, officially licensed buses from MAN and Dr. Richard, all recreated down to the finest detail – including authentic logos and designs. Whether you prefer a classic solo bus or a longer articulated one, you'll find a wide variety of vehicles and ways to expand your fleet.

How does the City Transport Simulator platform work?

City Transport Simulator is the technical foundation for multiple standalone games – including CTS: Tram and CTS: Bus. Each title can be played independently. You don’t need CTS: Tram to play CTS: Bus – and vice versa.

CTS: Bus is not a DLC or add-on – it's a full-fledged standalone title with its own content, vehicles, and gameplay modes. You can start and play it entirely on its own.

If you own both games, CTS will automatically recognize it and unlock all content seamlessly. No extra steps required – just launch CTS and enjoy everything you own.

The best part: even if you only own one of the games, the city will never feel empty. In CTS: Tram, AI buses drive through the city – in CTS: Bus, AI trams are part of the environment. This ensures a vibrant and believable city at all times. Only players who own both games can drive both vehicle types.

Feature Highlights:

• Officially licensed buses: MAN Lions City A21 & A23, Gräf & Stift NL205 & NG235 – all authentically recreated with real-world details and liveries 🚍
• Massive route network with 80 stops: Create your own routes or use the sandbox mode with 8 pre-built lines 🚏
• Career & Sandbox modes: Experience varied gameplay – from managing your company to relaxing free rides 🎮
• Extensive customization: Choose from over 10 liveries and 50+ logos to personalize your fleet 🎨
• AI buses & tram traffic: Enjoy a lively city with AI-driven buses and trams independent of your own vehicles 🤖
• Steering wheel support: Play with your Logitech G29, Thrustmaster T300, HORI Truck Control System, or other popular wheels with built-in presets 🛞
• Shared platform with CTS: Tram: Play CTS: Bus and CTS: Tram separately or together – all content is included in a single installation and recognized automatically 📂
• Realistic city with high detail: The transport network and urban development are modeled after real European cities – perfect for sim fans 🏙️

Release & What’s Next

CTS: Bus will be available June 11 for PC on Steam!
Console releases (PS5 and Xbox Series X|S) are planned for September. The delay is due to the complex console publishing transition – but we’re working hard to deliver the best experience there as well.

And what about CTS: Tram?

Alongside the Bus release, we’re also rolling out a major update for CTS: Tram with many exciting additions:

• New stop styles from Berlin, Vienna, and Munich 🏙️
• Rename stops for more customization ✍️
• Choose your tracks freely for creative route design 🛤️
• AI buses in traffic for a more lively city 🚦
• Passengers react to your driving – with positive and negative effects 🎭
• AI cars honk if you break traffic rules – for realistic traffic vibes 🚗🔊
• And many bug fixes, optimizations, and features to improve gameplay feel

We guarantee: both Tram and Bus will continue to receive regular updates so both games evolve together and keep the city vibrant and alive.

What else is coming?

We’re working on new vehicles like the iconic GT6 tram for summer and already developing the Tatra KT4D – stay tuned!

Also planned: Vienna as a fully new city map in 2026, with never-before-seen detailed routes for both Bus and Tram.
