Buses: Cheap to build but restricted to roads.

In Cities in Motion, there are 5 main modes of transport, each with different characteristics:

Prices fluctuations might turn a once profitable route into an unprofitable one. Players will also need to observe gas and electricity prices, as both are needed to power their vehicles. In addition to managing their routes, players will also have to monitor the economy when the economy is doing well, people are willing to pay higher ticket prices, employees demand more money, new vehicles cost more, and loans have higher interest rates. The game starts from 1920, although players can pick any year between 1920 to 2020 to start from in sandbox mode. However, the city does grow on its own, following the development of the city in real life. Cities in Motion contains no city building instead, players have to build their mass transit systems around the city's other infrastructure. In Cities in Motion, players are placed in charge of a public transport company in one of 4 European cities (with more cities available as DLC). Players can also make their own cities with a built in map editor.Ī sequel, Cities in Motion 2, is set to be released Q2 2013. The game tasks the player to take charge of the public transport system in a city, and develop it to meet the needs of the city as it grows and develops through the years. It was released on Februfor the PC, and a Mac version was released May 20, 2011. Cities in Motion is a transport management simulation developed by Colossal Order and published by Paradox Interactive.
