CTS 2026 - Bus DLC: Citybus C2

lilly.bouleguesteam_community_announcements

133d ago

Over the past few weeks, we have closely followed your feedback on the Citybus C2 and have already implemented a range of adjustments to make the vehicles feel even more authentic.

Among other improvements, the roof ventilator on top of the bus has been reworked to match the real vehicle more accurately. We have also introduced the correct rear lights and refined several interior details. For example, the dashboard now features a properly positioned control button for the roof ventilator.

At the same time, we have already made noticeable improvements to the vehicle sounds. We are currently working on further optimizations, including enhanced rolling sounds across all buses, adjustments to stereo behaviour within Unreal Engine, as well as additional sound improvements for the Vienna tram vehicles.

🚦 New driver assistance systems add additional gameplay depth

With the Citybus C2, advanced driver assistance systems are being introduced to the City Transport Simulator bus fleet for the first time.

These include features such as blind spot monitoring, pedestrian detection and traffic sign recognition with speed warnings. Together, they add new challenges to the driver’s daily routine and further increase realism during regular line operations.

The DLC will launch alongside City Transport Simulator 2026 on April 14, 2026, expanding your fleet with four new bus variants:

• Citybus C2 solo version with 2 doors

• Citybus C2 solo version with 3 doors

• Citybus C2 articulated version with 3 doors

• Citybus C2 articulated version with 4 doors

📅 City Transport Simulator 2026 and the Citybus C2 DLC will be released on April 14, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

From the agile 12-metre solo bus to the high-capacity 18-metre articulated version, the Citybus C2 package covers a wide range of use cases in urban transport — whether on tight inner-city routes or heavily used main lines.

⭐ Wishlist City Transport Simulator 2026 now to stay up to date with release news, DLC announcements and future updates.

City Transport Simulator 2026 launches on April 14!

VAhasenpanzersteam_community_announcements

140d ago

City Transport Simulator 2026 launches on April 14 – free upgrade for all owners!

It’s been quiet around City Transport Simulator for a while – but behind the scenes, we’ve been working intensively on the future of the game. Now we can finally announce it officially: City Transport Simulator 2026 launches on April 14 for PC on Steam, as well as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S! The best part: if you already own City Transport Simulator, you’ll get CTS 2026 completely free. 🎉 All your DLCs and savegames will carry over, so you can jump straight into all the new features. Why a new version at all? Simply put: with CTS 2026, we’ve overhauled, optimized, and expanded practically every system in the game. This marks a new era for City Transport Simulator – with new features, more immersion, and a livelier city than ever before. https://youtu.be/2SD-EEidRG0

Dynamic Weather and Seasons

CTS 2026 makes the city more dynamic than ever. For the first time, the game features a fully dynamic weather and season system. The city changes throughout the year – from fresh spring greenery to hot summer days, colorful autumn leaves, and snowy winter streets. The weather also evolves dynamically throughout the day, so while driving, you may encounter sunshine, fog, rain, snow, or even thunderstorms. These changes also directly affect your vehicles. Temperature variations influence heating and cooling systems, windows can fog up, and wipers automatically activate when it rains. All buses and trams have been updated with realistic climate systems, window functions, and other new details.

Realistic Ticketing System

One feature many of you have been asking for is finally here: a fully realistic ticketing system. Buses in CTS 2026 now have functional ticket machines, allowing you to sell tickets directly to passengers – just like in real life. Passengers can pay with cash or contactless, choose the ticket type they want, and respond accordingly, either thanking you for correct handling or complaining if something goes wrong. A new ITCS system also assists you during your routes, showing key operational info, such as the next stop and whether you’re on schedule.

Free Roam – Explore the City Beyond the Driver’s Seat

One of the biggest new features in CTS 2026 is the Free Roam mode. For the first time, you can freely explore the entire city as a pedestrian, walk to stops, wait for vehicles, and then hop on a KI bus or tram as a passenger. You’re not just a passenger, though. You can take control of any vehicle at any time and drive a bus or tram yourself – all without loading screens. You can also hand vehicles back to KI drivers at end stops and move freely through the city, making the transition between bus and tram much more natural and immersive.

New Vehicle DLC: Citybus C2

Alongside CTS 2026, a new vehicle DLC will launch: the Citybus C2. The DLC includes four variants of the popular city bus – two solo bus versions and two articulated bus versions. All vehicles are highly detailed and provide an authentic driving experience with fully modeled cockpits, realistic engine and interior sounds, and numerous interactive systems. The C2 also supports all new CTS 2026 systems, including realistic climate control, functional wipers, in-vehicle ticketing, and modern driver assistance systems like blind-spot detection and traffic sign recognition. The Citybus C2 DLC also launches on April 14 for €19.99.

More Atmosphere and Detail

Alongside major gameplay features, we’ve improved countless details to make the city feel truly alive. A new dynamic lighting system creates more atmospheric day/night cycles and realistic lighting, with noticeable changes across the seasons. Passengers have been fully overhauled with new models, more clothing variety, and additional voices, reacting to their surroundings – using umbrellas when it rains or wearing warm clothes in winter. Driver animations have also been improved: they now hold the steering wheel or tram lever realistically, and even drivers of oncoming vehicles react and wave as you pass.

Performance and Stability Improvements

CTS 2026 also brings major performance and stability upgrades, especially on consoles. The KI spawning system has been overhauled, loading and unloading vehicles dynamically to reduce crashes. KI vehicles now follow routes more reliably and organize automatically at end stations. While these changes may seem small individually, together they make City Transport Simulator feel much more immersive and alive.

Free Upgrade on April 14

CTS 2026 launches on April 14 for PC on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. If you already own City Transport Simulator, you can upgrade for free. Savegames and all DLCs carry over, letting you continue using your existing vehicles with all the new systems and improvements. Add City Transport Simulator 2026 to your Wishlist now to support us and make sure you don’t miss any news about the release. We can’t wait to welcome you to the next generation of City Transport Simulator! 🚍🚋

City Transport Simulator - Update v1.4.0 + Basel Style Cosmetic DLC

VAhasenpanzersteam_community_announcements

231d ago

City Transport Simulator – Update v1.4.0 is out now!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/957bb85bde25b969d9b1617b99985fe289d1ec15.jpg

With update v1.4.0, we’re expanding City Transport Simulator with Head & Eye Tracking, new collectibles, improved control options, extensive AI improvements, and a brand-new cosmetic DLC. This update focuses on immersion, improvements, and driving feel—whether you’re playing with a controller, steering wheel, or eye tracking.

✨ New Add-on: Cosmetic DLC – Basel Style

With the new Cosmetic DLC: Basel Style, a clean and fresh look comes to your city— inspired by the cityscape of Basel.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/871c9e778b27a3a1c5735474263b5ecfc39200ed.jpg Included content:

Basel-inspired station styles
Authentic station signs & shelters in various sizes
Matching decorative elements
Dynamic display of line and station names
Classic green vehicle livery for all vehicles

Bring a modern, Swiss-inspired look to your public transport system—subtle, functional, and ready to use right away. Get the Basel Style DLC now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4132300/City_Transport_Simulator__Cosmetic_DLC_Basel_Style/

🧠 New Technology – Head & Eye Tracking

With v1.4.0, all vehicles now support Head & Eye Tracking via TrackIR and Tobii Eye Tracker. Freely move your view around the cockpit and experience an even more immersive driving experience.

Want to see Head & Eye Tracking in action? Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOd02uX-Ae0&t=37s&pp=ygULZWluZmFjaG1vcnk%3D

🚦 AI & Traffic – Noticeable Improvements in Everyday Gameplay

A key focus of update v1.4.0 was further improving our AI and traffic systems. Based on your feedback, traffic lights now react faster to the player and switch to green earlier, reducing waiting times and making traffic flow feel more natural. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/c656f5a655786c1af9defec6cae8bdac5d7319ff.jpg At the same time, faulty AI behavior has been fixed: cars no longer stop at intersections without reason, buses now use their indicators correctly when departing and stopping, and AI vehicles reliably respect current and upcoming speed limits. Overall, these changes result in a more believable traffic system and bring major improvements to your line operations.

☕ The Mug Collection – Public Transport to Collect

With v1.4.0, we’re introducing a brand-new type of collectible: lovingly designed mugs! Each mug focuses on public transport in a specific city and captures its characteristic fleet and style.

Look forward to designs from Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Basel, and of course Tramau. Each mug is uniquely designed and comes with a short informational text about the history of public transport in that city.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/145442c89bf00b1dbf9427507bf28e3384fab22b.jpg

Just like previous collectibles, you can find the mugs at the familiar vending machines spread throughout the city—usually near bus stops, transport hubs, or other high-traffic areas.

🚌 New Bus Keychains

The popular keychains are making a comeback—this time as bus variants! After the great response to the tram keychains during Early Access, we’re expanding the collection with six new bus keychains.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/63d47b71ba1af4865e8882d4d9ea056074c24dcc.png

They are once again scattered all across Tramau, waiting to be discovered. And who knows—maybe they even hint at which bus model might be coming next to City Transport Simulator …

🎮 Controls & Driving Feel – More Control Than Ever

🕹️ Crank Controller for Trams A completely new way to control trams with a controller. The crank controller allows for more precise acceleration and smoother driving—especially for fans of classic vehicles.
🎮 Extended Controller Mapping Even more freely assignable controller functions, for example to bind the parking brake to a button of your choice.
⚙️ Force Feedback for Xbox Steering Wheels Realistic force feedback is now available on Xbox as well and can be fine-tuned—just like on PC and PlayStation—using sliders in the gameplay settings.

⚠️ Notice for Logitech G920 users on PC

We’d like to inform you that some players experienced crashes when using a Logitech G920 with City Transport Simulator on PC. After extensive testing, we were able to confirm that the issue was not caused by the game itself, but by a specific version of Logitech G Hub.

The affected version was G Hub 2025.9.807502, which prevented City Transport Simulator from launching correctly when a G920 was connected. We have been in contact with Logitech regarding this issue.

Good news: Logitech has since released an update for G Hub that fixes this crash in City Transport Simulator as well as in other games. Please update G Hub to the latest version or download it directly from Logitech’s official website:

https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025298133-Logitech-G-HUB

🌍 New Languages: Portuguese & Brazilian Portuguese

City Transport Simulator now supports Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese! This localization was made possible thanks to the great work of Marcos Drummond, who fully translated and adapted the game. The new languages are now available on Steam and Xbox, opening City Transport Simulator to a much wider audience. Support for PlayStation will follow soon. Make sure to check out Marcos’ YouTube channel and show him some support: https://www.youtube.com/@MarcosDrummond/featured

City Transport Simulator - Roadmap November Update

VAhasenpanzersteam_community_announcements

277d ago

The new 2025 & 2026 Roadmap for City Transport Simulator!

With our new roadmap, we want to give you a detailed look at what we’re currently working on, what’s still coming later this year – and what’s planned for 2026. We’re continuing several points from the previous July roadmap, but there are also plenty of brand-new features we’re revealing for the first time today. From new collectibles and expanded control options to major features like dynamic weather, temperature management, and ticket sales – City Transport Simulator is evolving, and that’s all thanks to your feedback! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/a9a90bdef5b9b3a40e8af80b33e087f6f17114a1.jpg

New Collectibles in Tramau

Many of you have been wondering about the mysterious new collectibles we teased in the previous roadmap. Now we can finally reveal them: there are two completely new types you’ll soon be able to find in Tramau! The Mug Collection Our new collectibles are beautifully designed mugs celebrating public transport in different cities. Each design is unique, featuring the characteristic vehicles and style of well-known cities such as Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Basel, and of course, Tramau. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/145442c89bf00b1dbf9427507bf28e3384fab22b.jpg But the mugs aren’t just decorative: each one includes a small story about the history of public transport in its respective city. Just like the previous collectibles, you’ll find these mugs in familiar vending machines scattered across the city – usually near bus stops or other major hubs. New Bus Keychains The popular keychains are also making a comeback – this time as bus keychains! After the tram keychains from Early Access became fan favorites, we’re expanding the collection with six new bus keychains. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/63d47b71ba1af4865e8882d4d9ea056074c24dcc.png They’re once again hidden throughout Tramau, waiting to be discovered. And who knows – maybe one of them even hints at which bus model will join City Transport Simulator next.

New Control Options and Improvements

2025 will not only bring new collectibles but also several of the most requested improvements for controls and gameplay.

🕹️ Tram Crank Controller Support We’re introducing an entirely new way to drive trams using a crank controller setup via gamepad, allowing for even more precise control.
🎮 Expanded Controller Mapping We know how important it is to fine-tune your controls to match your driving style. You’ll soon be able to remap even more functions – for example, assigning the parking brake to your preferred button.
⚙️ Force Feedback for Xbox Wheels PlayStation players already enjoy realistic force feedback, and now Xbox drivers are next! We’re currently implementing full support so you can customize the strength and feel through the same gameplay settings sliders available on PC and PlayStation.

A Small Year-End Surprise

2025 isn’t over yet, and we’ve got a few surprises in store! Just before Christmas, we’ll reveal another special feature – something a few of you might already have guessed if you’ve been keeping an eye on our Discord or the Steam forums.

2026: The Year of Weather – and More Realism

If 2025 brings a lot of new things, 2026 will open a whole new chapter. The roadmap for next year focuses on dynamic weather, deeper simulation systems, and brand-new gameplay features. Dynamic Weather Rain, snow, fog, sunshine, and wind – all of these will soon become part of daily life in City Transport Simulator. The new weather system won’t just change how the city looks and feels but will also directly affect vehicle handling. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/589a5836f9803d8a30b3b4859ace502d2e803335.png Just like in real life, driving physics will adapt to the conditions. The city will also respond dynamically to the weather: passengers will wear jackets or carry umbrellas, and the entire atmosphere of Tramau will shift with the environment.

Heating, Air Conditioning & Working Windows

With weather comes a new challenge: temperature control. All buses and trams will receive functional heating, air conditioning, and windows. It’ll be up to you to keep the temperature inside comfortable – otherwise, passengers will start to complain! This feature adds more depth to your daily operations, making you manage passenger comfort like a real driver.

Ticket Sales Are Coming!

A long-requested feature will finally become reality: ticket sales! All buses will feature ticket machines that allow you to sell tickets, give change, and manage passenger flow. Ticket sales will be a core part of bus operations, adding a new layer of responsibility and interactivity. We’re currently implementing multiple systems to support it, and we’ll share more details in early 2026 when we’re ready to show the feature in detail.

New Vehicles: KT4D and More

Of course, no roadmap would be complete without new vehicles! One major highlight is the Tatra KT4D, developed in collaboration with SVF Frankfurt (Oder). This iconic tram, featuring acceleration control and pedal operation, brings a unique driving experience to City Transport Simulator. We conducted extensive research over the summer and are already actively working on its implementation. Thanks to our close partnership with SVF, we can bring many authentic details into the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/921615c818576bef4e3a99be26b786c3f489d625.jpg In addition to the KT4D, another new bus is in development – one many of you have been asking for. We’ll reveal more as development progresses.

Welcome to Vienna!

One of the biggest highlights of 2026 is the Vienna Add-On! We’re bringing Austria’s capital to City Transport Simulator with an all-new internal system for creating maps. This allows for even greater accuracy and realism in buildings, streets, and traffic structures than ever before! We’ll be recreating real Vienna tram and bus lines with authentic routes, architecture, and traffic systems. Fans of TramSim will be happy to see a familiar city return – only better and bigger than before! We’re not ready to reveal which lines will be included just yet, but if you’ve been paying close attention to our teaser in June, you might already have a guess. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/0d3b9f00b2da326eec04b6823ad079b472c0d622.jpg

What Comes After?

Even beyond 2026, the City Transport Simulator franchise will continue to grow. Our new roadmap already includes several points we can’t discuss in detail yet – but we can confirm that some are already in development, while others are in planning. You can look forward to new vehicles, deeper gameplay systems, and a richer Vienna experience, making City Transport Simulator an even more comprehensive transport simulation. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/a9a90bdef5b9b3a40e8af80b33e087f6f17114a1.jpg City Transport Simulator thrives on your feedback, ideas, and passion for public transport. Thank you for your ongoing support – we can’t wait to start this next chapter together with you!

City Transport Simulator - Update v1.3.0 + MAN New Lion's City DLC & Consoles!

VAhasenpanzersteam_community_announcements

301d ago

City Transport Simulator – The Big October 7 Release!

The wait is over — one of the biggest updates in the history of City Transport Simulator is here! October 7 brings a new map expansion, the feature-packed Update v1.3.0, the arrival of the MAN New Lion’s City Bus DLC, and the long-awaited console release for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

🚍 MAN New Lion’s City – Next Generation on the Road

The new MAN New Lion’s City DLC adds six officially licensed, highly detailed buses to your fleet — the 12C, 18C, and the brand-new 19C. Each model comes in multiple door variants and features authentic sounds, precise physics, and stunning interior detail.

From the detailed cockpit to the customizable RGB interior lighting, every detail was recreated with care. Through official partnerships with MAN Truck & Bus, Dr. Richard, and VOR, this DLC delivers real-world liveries, displays, and faithfully replicated vehicle systems — all for €19.99.

The new terminal at Shuji-Nakamura Square serves as a key interchange between tram and bus lines. In Eglundsdorf, a new through-station connects via Jakob-De-Zoet Street back to the depot, where you can now start and end your day just like real drivers.

MAN New Lion’s City & Free Bus Expansion coming October 7!

VAhasenpanzersteam_community_announcements

315d ago

On October 7 the time has come!

Three major highlights arrive on the very same day: The brand-new MAN New Lion’s City Bus DLC makes its debut, all owners of the Depot + South Route DLC receive a free large-scale bus map expansion, and City Transport Simulator: Bus + Tram finally launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. A perfect trio for everyone who has been waiting to take virtual public transport to the next level.

MAN New Lion’s City – the next generation on the road

The new Bus DLC brings the entire MAN New Lion’s City family straight into your fleet—in one especially comprehensive package for €19.99. Many of you asked not to pay separately for each variant, and we’ve taken that feedback to heart. Starting October 7 you can look forward to six buses that offer maximum variety and impressive realism. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/78ae5ce66ba52ba23ee976ec63d9c36999ab8611.jpg At the core are three base models: 12C, 18C, and the brand-new 19C.

MAN New Lion’s City 12C – 12 m solo bus with great maneuverability, available with 2 or 3 doors
MAN New Lion’s City 18C – 18 m articulated bus for maximum capacity, selectable with 3 or 4 doors
MAN New Lion’s City 19C – 18.7 m articulated bus, the longest of the family, available with 3 or 4 doors

At almost 19 meters, the New Lion’s City 19C is the longest bus of the entire lineup and an impressive sight in city traffic. Each version comes with different door configurations so you can find the perfect vehicle for every route and demand. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/16bc64fb19ab1a385bf1e62764b9742df2c1fb37.jpg We worked hard to recreate the new generation of the Lion’s City range as precisely as possible. From the highly detailed 3D model and a cockpit packed with controls to an authentic start/stop system, every detail shows careful craftsmanship. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/7e5a3209db7de93b50356b2e6cdc2144af6fba4e.jpg A special highlight is the RGB ambient lighting, which you can customize through the vehicle menu. For unmistakable sound, all engine, door, and interior noises were recorded directly from real buses. Every drive feels like you’re at the wheel of a true modern city bus—complete with realistic vehicle physics, precise steering, and the natural momentum when starting or braking. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/271e2511b96f59f74d9f86176a01cc206007ac36.jpg Thanks to close cooperation with MAN Truck & Bus, Dr. Richard, and the Verkehrsverbund Ost-Region (VOR), liveries, destination displays, and all technical details are officially licensed. For anyone who values authenticity, this is the most comprehensive bus package yet for City Transport Simulator. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/dc80eaec496e8041872b66e3270a941f76f092be.jpg 👉 Add the MAN New Lion’s City to your wishlist now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3864840/City_Transport_Simulator__Bus_DLC_MAN_New_Lions_City/

Free bus map expansion for Depot + South Route

Alongside the new Bus DLC, all owners of the Depot + South Route DLC will receive a free map update that significantly expands your network. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/58412a873bf70bbec97604ce48bb3352f5c3fa98.jpg Eight new bus stops—five of them completely new—take you deep into a vibrant high-rise district where glass facades, busy sidewalks, and bustling streets create an entirely new atmosphere. At the new stations in the business district you’ll need tight scheduling and large vehicles to handle the heavy passenger flow. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/ee9cc75f7b516f5c1cadc3315446f3c3bf4c5a89.jpg A special highlight is the new terminal stop at Shuji-Nakamura Square, a central hub in the Japanese quarter where bus and tram lines meet. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/29c4f834f43c1b9e85be4c7f670c929d048d3f53.jpg There’s also a new connection point in Eglundsdorf: a through-station that leads on via Jakob-De-Zoet Street to the depot, which now features several dedicated bus stops. You can start or end your day here—just like tram drivers already do. At the depot’s northern exit, two more new stations await, linking you via Town Hall North directly to the central station. These additions open up brand-new routing options and give the entire city a fresh, urban feel. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/5898b672f51ca605ad1c2628d7f612a4508c07d6.jpg

City Transport Simulator on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

It’s finally happening: City Transport Simulator: Bus + Tram launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on October 7.

City Transport Simulator - Roadmap July Update

VAhasenpanzersteam_community_announcements

382d ago

Welcome to the new roadmap for City Transport Simulator!

Since the release of City Transport Simulator: Bus, a lot has happened and we have received tons of feedback from you. Today, we are excited to finally present the new roadmap for City Transport Simulator! In the coming months, you can expect not only bug fixes and small features but also real content highlights, new vehicles, expansions, and a look into the future of CTS. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/db300cb0ad5857b82dd4ce4d8991b47566b3d84b.jpg

Looking back at the launch of CTS: Bus

In June, we released City Transport Simulator: Bus on Steam, making our vision of an all-in-one simulation a reality — a game where bus and tram traffic go hand in hand on a lively, constantly evolving map. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/a0d1a6712d3d9fb207026f627935b01f84304e5c.png But the release was just the beginning: just like with CTS: Tram, we plan long-term support with new content, major features, and of course integrating your feedback, which we’ve received in large amounts through Discord, Steam, and social media over the past weeks. Thank you for that!

Next update: Mouse control, improvements & more

The next update is already on the horizon with one of the most requested features from you: Mouse control for buses Using the ALT key or directly via the control settings, you will soon be able to steer your bus intuitively with the mouse — no gamepad or wheel required. Physics improvements for trams The Flexity Vienna will get better acceleration on inclines, and the Munich R2.2b will have more realistic sinusoidal movement and swaying adjustments. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/5c7639fcff01ca8b019e0251d93b39e6842c5c5c.jpg And after that, there will be more updates:

AI and signal improvements We continuously work on optimizing traffic lights, AI vehicles, and overall traffic dynamics.
More life inside vehicles New passenger voices will add even more acoustic variety, plus new announcement voices in several languages including English, French, Polish, and Hungarian.

More vehicles in the works!

Of course, we are also expanding the vehicle roster for CTS with real classics and more compact bus variants.

GT6 (Tram Classic):

The legendary articulated tram GT6 brings retro flair to Tramau. With its charming look, distinctive driving style, and historic interior, this vehicle is made for all nostalgia fans! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/b64ae654481642212404c3f23d933777e88c2992.jpg

MAN Lion’s City A47 & A26

With the A47 and A26, we expand the fleet with two exciting 10- and 15-meter variants of the MAN Lion’s City. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/b8fe441e6a068315b003576fbc5a609028cdb02e.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/140629555b5f56d4f918c16bb03cca65a5ad21d3.png Both models bring fresh energy to your fleet and enable new deployment options! More info on release timing and features will follow in one of the upcoming updates.

Looking ahead: Autumn highlights & console release

Autumn will bring the next big phase of CTS with a special focus on the console release for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game is already very advanced technically, and we are working closely with Sony and Microsoft to complete the final steps for launch.

Free map expansion for all Depot DLC owners

With the big autumn release comes a comprehensive free map expansion for everyone who owns the “Depot + Southern Lines” DLC! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/5f6f4cff1616f1e225f318f750bc420f0006eaf5.jpg The new route takes you through a completely redesigned city district with high-rise buildings and an urban metropolitan flair. In contrast to the previous districts in Tramau, here you will experience a completely different vibe: faster, denser, more hectic! Additionally, the route is brought to life by new AI passengers in business attire and a higher passenger density. People on their way to the office, appointments, or meetings. This gives the neighborhood a whole new atmosphere. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/84c9524dfbddb796e1898f93fefb06a9900320c5.jpg And do you remember the big construction site at the tram depot in the south of the map? That exact construction site will be transformed into a new bus parking lot with this update! From now on, you’ll be able to start or end your shifts as a bus driver in the south of the map as well. This not only brings more variety to your routes but also expands your daily itineraries and how you play the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/2d6e14d37317f33bd9722fd436f022bef7766444.jpg The bus map expansion will be released simultaneously with the console release in autumn 2025 and is, as mentioned, free for all who already own the Depot + Southern Lines DLC. If you don’t have the DLC yet, no problem: it remains available and offers a large tram depot, new stops, and a completely different route layout even without the expansion.

The MAN New Lion’s City 12C & 18C

Many of you have wished for it — now it’s official: we are working on the new generation of the MAN Lion’s City! With the 12C (solo bus) and 18C (articulated bus), we expand the City Transport Simulator fleet with a modern bus family that sets new standards in design and technology. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/25fe8ea61d5a9f7d3aab35de8e364a66dcc7d7e9.jpg In collaboration with VOR and Dr. Richard, we were again able to access original data and materials to recreate the bus as authentically as possible. From the paint job to the cockpit details — everything is being crafted with great attention to detail. We are especially proud of the colorful LED interior lighting, which gives the vehicle a special flair and creates a unique atmosphere both day and night. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/b3bbfff0a6f6dedacb03bd59fb096c36c186eca8.jpg Currently, the New Lion’s City is in work-in-progress phase. This means we are actively working on the 3D model, driving physics, sounds, and interior design. We’re very happy about your feedback on the first images and do our best to incorporate your wishes into the fine-tuning. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/64b44faf4ac63bf662d06c4b1ddae54558b5c74d.jpg The release of the New Lion’s City is planned together with the big console release and free map expansion in autumn 2025. So you can look forward to a powerful overall package!

Roadmap Phase 3: Weather, tickets, new cities

What comes after autumn? Here’s a glance at the third phase:

🌧️ Dynamic weather: rain, lightning, temperature changes — including effects on driving behavior and climate control inside vehicles
🎫 Ticket sales: realistic ticket selling on the bus
🚋 Tatra KT4D: an old tram with special charm — currently in development
🚌 New bus model: still a secret, but already planned
🏙️ Vienna returns!: new routes for bus & tram based on a new, improved routing system

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/db300cb0ad5857b82dd4ce4d8991b47566b3d84b.jpg City Transport Simulator is just getting started and thanks to your feedback, the simulation gets better, bigger, and more varied every month! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3592110/City_Transport_Simulator_Bus/

City Transport Simulator: Bus + Tram - Update 1.1.2

VAhasenpanzersteam_community_announcements

405d ago

CTS Update v1.1.2 is here – with Fixes, Features & Improvements

Today’s update brings several bug fixes and features we’ve already talked about – many of them based directly on your feedback. Some of the key changes include fixing crashes during game startup (e.g. caused by remapped keys), various reported issues with traffic lights and AI behavior, and the incorrect tram reset in Eglundsdorf. In addition to those fixes, we’ve added a few highly requested features:

You can now adjust the Field of View (FOV)
Steering speed and return-to-center speed are now individually configurable – for mouse & keyboard, gamepad/controller, and even steering wheels

This gives you much more control over your gameplay experience! We’ve also reworked the MAN Lion’s City 3D model with great attention to detail. Thanks to your feedback, both the cockpit and passenger area are now much more realistic and accurate.

🔄 What’s next?

Of course, we’re continuing to improve the game with your help. We're currently working on:

A new mouse steering mode
Improvements to trams, especially the Flexity and R2.2b models
Better AI behavior: We’re aware that cars sometimes ignore red lights or right-of-way rules – this is a top priority for upcoming updates

CTS: Bus is here – Thank You for an Amazing Launch!

VAhasenpanzersteam_community_announcements

417d ago

Thank You for an Amazing Launch!

We're absolutely thrilled about the successful release of City Transport Simulator: Bus – our very first fully self-developed game. This was a huge step for us, and it means a lot to see how positively you've received the game. Whether it's on Steam, Discord, or social media: your feedback has not only been incredibly plentiful, but also super helpful – and that's exactly why we want to give you a quick behind-the-scenes look at what we’re working on and what you can expect in the next updates.

🔧 First Update: Save Files Fixed

Some of you experienced issues with your previous save files at launch – especially Early Access players whose progress didn’t carry over correctly. This was due to changes in the save system we had to make when taking over publishing responsibilities, which caused a specific set of data to break. With today’s hotfix, this issue is resolved. The game will now automatically recognize your correct save data – no manual action required.

🛠 What’s Next? Our Immediate Goals

Of course, we're already working on the next steps – your feedback has made it very clear which areas need improvement. A key point is that AI-controlled bus lines are currently missing for CTS: Tram owners. We're aiming to fix this with the next update. We've also been made aware of a crash issue that can occur when using custom key bindings. A fix is already in the works. Until then, resetting your key bindings in the control settings can help avoid crashes. We’re also developing a Field of View (FOV) setting, so you can adjust the in-cabin view – especially useful if you need a better look at your mirrors, for example. Another issue affects players who don’t own the Depot + South Line DLC: they're currently being reset to Eglundsdorf station while driving trams. We’re already working on a solution for that as well.

🧠 AI & Traffic Light Behavior

In parallel, we’re continuing to improve traffic lights and right-of-way rules, to make traffic flow more realistic and easier to understand. Optimization of signal cycles is ongoing, with the goal of speeding up traffic flow in a realistic way.

🎮 Bus Controls

For those of you who prefer to play with a keyboard, we’ve included three different steering modes at launch:

The realistic mode adjusts the steering speed based on how fast you're driving.
The continuous mode features consistent recentering – in the future, it will also be fully customizable.
And if you want full control, you can turn off auto-centering completely – ideal for smooth, manual steering.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/5faeb0a5bbe79eae52bd4c52efc387b7d7f18457.jpg You can also fine-tune Force Feedback via the gameplay settings – just scroll down in the menu to adjust the values to your liking. In upcoming updates, we’ll refine the default settings for keyboard and controller users so that bus handling feels even more precise. We're also working on giving you more customization options so you can truly tailor the driving experience to your style. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/09fe201d0f15f775c009da57ebbc5d5c25174f1e.jpg Mouse control is also in development, and will soon offer an intuitive new way to drive.

Tips for Wheel Setup Issues

If you're currently having issues with your steering wheel or pedals, please double-check the dead zones for all axes in the settings and adjust them as needed. If that doesn’t help, we recommend calibrating each axis individually and trying again. We're continuing to work on improvements here – and we also plan to include more presets for various wheel models in future updates.

🚌 3D Model Improvements

We’ve been closely following your feedback on the MAN Lion’s City – and it’s been very helpful. In particular, your comments about cockpit and passenger area details are guiding our current work. We're making targeted improvements to ensure the bus is even more accurate – visually and functionally. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/8a414ec66d962cf61485bd5e63e981729ab2f647.jpg

🚋 Tram Adjustments

Of course, we haven’t forgotten about the trams. Two key areas are currently our focus: fine-tuning the acceleration of the Flexity Vienna to match reality more closely, and making the typical swaying of the R2.2b feel even more authentic. Our goal is to provide a truly realistic driving experience.

❤️ Thank You – and Stay Tuned!

The launch was just the beginning. For us, one thing is clear: this game thrives on its connection with you. Your feedback directly shapes our daily work – whether it’s about bugs, suggestions, or new features. We're incredibly proud of what we’ve already accomplished with City Transport Simulator together with this community – and we can’t wait to see where it goes next. Thank you for your support, and see you in the next update

Price, Contents & Everything You Need To Know – City Transport Simulator: Bus

VAhasenpanzersteam_community_announcements

425d ago

In just six days, it’s happening: City Transport Simulator: Bus finally launches and takes public transport to the next level! 🚍

Today, we’re sharing all the important info about prices, editions, vehicles, and bundles — and why adding it to your wishlist now is especially worth it.

CTS: Bus – standalone, versatile, lively

City Transport Simulator: Bus is a standalone game within the CTS platform — not a DLC, not an add-on, but a full product with its own content, vehicles, and gameplay focus.

If you already own City Transport Simulator: Tram, good news: both games seamlessly combine. CTS automatically detects which titles you own and unlocks content — no effort required.

Even if you only own CTS: Bus, the city stays alive:

🚋 AI trams run in the background

🚍 Conversely, AI buses appear in CTS: Tram to create a true city feeling

So the world always feels alive — no matter which game you play!

Two Editions for Different Driver

City Transport Simulator: Bus comes in two versions — perfectly tailored to your playstyle:

Standard Edition – 24.99 €
Includes three different solo buses: - NL205 – the first Vienna low-floor bus from the 90s - MAN Lion’s City A21 – available as 3- and 4-door models Ideal for beginners or anyone wanting to get familiar with bus driving.
Deluxe Edition – 34.99 €
Includes everything from the Standard Edition plus three articulated buses: - NG235 – legendary articulated bus - Lion’s City A23 – available as 3- and 4-door variants For experienced drivers or anyone wanting the full bus experience!

Pricing & Bundles — How To Save on Your Purchase

We want to make your entry into the world of City Transport Simulator as easy and fair as possible — whether you’re brand new or already own CTS: Tram.

That’s why we have two bundle offers at release — both with discounts:

Standard Bundle – 44.99 €
CTS: Tram Standard + CTS: Bus Standard ➤ 10% off both games!
Deluxe Bundle – 59.99 €
CTS: Tram Deluxe + CTS: Bus Deluxe ➤ 15% off the entire package!

Whether Standard or Deluxe — with the bundles, you get more content for less money. Perfect for everyone who wants the full CTS experience!

Discounts for CTS: Tram Owners

Already have CTS: Tram in your library? Then here’s the best part:

Thanks to Steam’s "Complete the Set" feature, the system automatically recognizes you own one of the games — and offers the missing game at the bundle price! 😍

That means:

The bundle discount stays intact
🎟️ CTS: Bus Standard Edition for CTS: Tram owners: 22.49 €
🎟️ CTS: Bus Deluxe Edition for CTS: Tram Deluxe & Collectors Edition owners: 29.99 €

You can expand anytime, flexibly — and still save. 🔁💸

New Stops, New Routes

With the release of CTS: Bus, the city gets new bus stops! 🚌

This noticeably changes the city:

New lines emerge
New paths and routes open up
New challenges await

Although bus and tram run in the same city, each transport mode offers a unique dynamic. Different perspectives — one shared transport network!

Add to your wishlist and start driving in 5 days!

City Transport Simulator: Bus is the next big step for our simulation — and we can’t wait to get you behind the wheel.

We believe: There’s something for everyone.

🟩 Add to your wishlist now — and don’t miss a second at launch!

City Transport Simulator: Bus releasing on June 11!

VAhasenpanzersteam_community_announcements

428d ago

City Transport Simulator: Bus launches June 11 for PC on Steam!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/e681a1682f61ca34805fe51a84e0d370e4c4f9ff.jpg We’re incredibly excited to finally announce City Transport Simulator: Bus! After intense development, it’s ready: the ultimate, realistic, and fully immersive bus simulation experience is coming! 🎉 City Transport Simulator: Bus launches June 11 for PC on Steam, and in September for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. You can watch the full event including interviews and announcements about Bus & Tram here: https://www.youtube.com/live/6UY2utuV1r8?feature=shared

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. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/65df2bb39de89e3343030fbe85d414834e6d7206.jpg 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. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/ae0eb3b464928fef53cf43795038d323a51b4f37.jpg

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. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/2a0c433e693f69a83db0f5f9340355875872423b.jpg 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. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/b2af4687dd022e393649dadf908a50c1d24ece45.jpg

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! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/ee1fe6f8532a32f823a4c72c4f8dce26bb4a8e0d.jpg Also planned: Vienna as a fully new city map in 2026, with never-before-seen detailed routes for both Bus and Tram. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790845/890dbeaf191485ed748fd0814a63d7d2d1396705.jpg

City Transport Simulator: Tram - Update v1.0.4

VAhasenpanzersteam_community_announcements

495d ago

We’re excited to bring you Version 1.0.4 of City Transport Simulator: Tram! The biggest additions in this update are the overhauled navigation system and the now fully functional station announcements on Xbox Series X/S. While this update does not yet include improvements to the traffic light and signal system, we’re actively working on them! Steam players can expect an experimental beta update as early as tomorrow, featuring major improvements in this area—so you can get back to running on schedule! Here’s the full changelog for Version 1.0.4:

Highlights

- New navigation system added (can be enabled in the gameplay settings, with three selectable styles under "Navigation Style") - Station announcements now work on Xbox Series X/S

Vehicles & Gameplay

- Automatic station announcements now work even when IBIS is manually configured - GT8N wheels now rotate at the correct speed - StadtRegioTram pantograph now functions correctly when operated via the vehicle menu - Door sensors added to the E1 - Upcoming speed limits in Engelsbrunnen and Johann-Friedrich-Gasse are now displayed correctly - The destination display for the E1 & GT8N is no longer duplicated

AI Passengers & Vehicles

- Passengers no longer get stuck inside each other - Passengers no longer clip through the floor of the tram when waiting to exit - AI vehicles now spawn at improved intervals

UI & Menus

- The mailbox no longer overlaps with the menu tutorial when the game is launched for the first time and a career session is played first - The "Save & Start Session" button no longer disappears under certain conditions when creating a draft line - Missing camera/view control icon in the introduction tutorial has been added - Tutorial hints now correctly display movement axes - The HUD has been rearranged to prevent vehicle controls from overlapping with the speedometer - Fallback added to prevent players from losing XP Thank you for your patience, and enjoy the ride!

Thank you for your Feedback about Update v1.0.3!

VAhasenpanzersteam_community_announcements

508d ago

Thank you for your great feedback on the new version 1.0.3 of City Transport Simulator: Tram! If you don't have CTS: Tram yet, the Collector's Edition is currently 20% off until March 20! Get it now in the Steam Spring Sale: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2604480/City_Transport_Simulator_Tram/ Here’s a look at our upcoming plans:

🔹 More Frequent Updates

We have optimized our development and testing processes, allowing us to release updates more quickly and regularly—sometimes as frequently as every 2–3 weeks! To ensure the quality of these updates, we have carefully selected dedicated players from our community as beta testers. These testers get early access to new versions and help us detect bugs and test improvements. Their feedback has already contributed significantly to optimizations! If you haven’t already, join our Discord: https://discord.gg/ZqFJeTQS

🔹 Adjustment of Tram Signal Phases

With update 1.0.3, we have reworked the signaling system to create more realistic traffic light phases. However, this has also resulted in trams sometimes having to wait too long. We are actively working on adjusting the signal timings and line schedules to make the process smoother—without making the simulation too easy. 😉

🔹 Improved Driving Physics for the R2.2b

The sinusoidal movement of the R2.2b tram is currently being adjusted! This will reduce lateral swaying in curves and even on straight tracks, making the driving experience even more realistic.

🔹 Performance Optimizations & Crash Fixes for Xbox Series X/S

Some of you have reported performance issues and crashes, especially on Xbox Series S. In the upcoming updates, we are optimizing roads, sidewalks, and trams to prevent crashes and improve overall performance—benefiting all platforms!

🔹 Announcements for Xbox Series X/S

We recently received an update for the announcements plugin on Xbox Series X/S, but there are still technical issues. The plugin developer is already working on a fix, and as soon as the feature is stable, we will release a hotfix so you can use announcements as soon as possible.

🔹 New Navigation System

The previous HUD navigation didn’t meet our expectations. In the next update, you can expect a dynamic navigation system that will guide you directly through the city. You can choose between different display styles: the full route, short distances, or only switch points. Check out our latest ViewApp Insights for a first look: https://youtu.be/5pOy5Nr8apE?feature=shared Thank you for your support! 🚋
