City Transport Simulator 2025

Feedback zum "City Transport Simulator BUS" Als jemand, der seit 35 Jahren im echten Leben Bus fährt, habe ich den "City Transport Simulator BUS" mit Spannung getestet, und hier ist mein ehrliches Feedback. Zunächst muss ich leider feststellen, dass die Busse alles andere als originalgetreu nachgebaut wurden. Mir als erfahrenem Busfahrer fehlen hier entscheidende Funktionen, die in modernen Bussen Standard sind. Beispielsweise gibt es keine Möglichkeit, die Klimaanlage ein- oder auszuschalten oder die Dachluken zu öffnen oder zu schließen. Auch Drucker fehlen komplett, was im realen Betrieb unerlässlich ist. Besonders störend sind die veralteten IBIS-Geräte. Diese manuellen Eingabegeräte für die Linien sind Steinzeit! Seit über zehn Jahren funktioniert die Linienführung bei uns digital und wesentlich fortschrittlicher. Es wäre wünschenswert, wenn hier die Entwickler auf den aktuellen Stand der Technik gehen würden, um ein realistischeres Fahrerlebnis zu bieten. Da muss ich wirklich sagen: "Da schlägt Euch OMSI 2 um Längen", obwohl OMSI 2 schon Aspach-Uralt ist ... Positiv hervorzuheben ist die hervorragende Grafikleistung in FPS. Das Spiel läuft flüssig, und das ist ein großer Pluspunkt. Auch der Verkehr funktioniert sehr gut und trägt zur Immersion bei. Allerdings gibt es bei den Ampelregelungen deutlichen Verbesserungsbedarf. Es ist unrealistisch, wenn beispielsweise meine Ampel für die Geradeausfahrt Grün zeigt, während gleichzeitig die Fußgängerampel, die meine Straße kreuzt, ebenfalls Grün ist. Solche Situationen führen im echten Leben zu gefährlichen Konflikten und mindern den Realismus. Ein weiteres Problem sind die Linienzeiten während der Fahrt. Sie erscheinen mir sehr unlogisch. Es kommt vor, dass ich an einer Haltestelle plötzlich fünf Minuten zu früh bin, nur um an der nächsten Haltestelle ohne ersichtlichen Grund über drei Minuten Verspätung zu haben, obwohl ich durchweg grüne Ampeln hatte. Dies untergräbt das Gefühl, einen Fahrplan einhalten zu müssen, und frustriert im Spiel. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass das Spiel in puncto Grafik und Verkehrsfluss Potenzial hat, aber in der Detailtreue der Busse und der Realismus der Fahrabläufe dringend Nachbesserungen benötigt, um für Busfahrer mit echter Erfahrung wirklich überzeugend zu sein.

Der Entwickler released scheinbar des Öfteren Spiele, die im Grunde unfertig und nicht optimiert sind. Eigentlich frage ich mich auch, ob der Entwickler sein Spiel überhaupt mal selbst getestet hat, wenn ja - dann hat er das Spiel bewusst so veröffentlicht, wie es ist. Die schlechte Performanz zwischendurch mit deutlichen FPS einbrüchen ist so nicht hinnehmbar, vor allem dann, wenn die Grafikeinstellungen im Durchschnitt auf Mittel eingestellt sind. Auch interessant ist ja die Tatsache, dass es bei seinen anderen Simulatoren im Grunde auch nicht anders ist - Es wird ständig ein neues Projekt angefangen, jedoch nie sauber zuende entwickelt. Ich weiß eigentlich auch gar nicht warum sich dieses Spiel "Simulator" nennt. Noch nicht mal die Map existiert im realen Leben, Rückerstattung ist beantragt. Solchen Entwicklern schiebe ich mein Geld nicht in den Rachen.

Usually, I only leave reviews if I have something positive to say, but in this case, I have to leave negative feedback for CTS: B+T, specifically regarding the latest update and the bus module. The bus driving is pretty much unplayable if you don't own a steering wheel. Using an Xbox controller or keyboard, the buses handle horribly — they’re twitchy, unpredictable, and there's no way to adjust sensitivity or fine-tune the controls. Driving simply doesn't feel immersive or enjoyable. AI traffic is a mess — cars and buses drive aggressively, constantly honk, and force their way even when you're driving properly. It's frustrating and completely breaks the traffic flow. The bus map doesn’t even cover the southwestern part of Tramau, for reasons unknown. Feels like an incomplete feature. The point limit is also way too low. 9500 points isn’t nearly enough for a map of this size, which kills creativity and limits what you can build. Route options are very limited too: you can't start night lines before midnight, and express routes that skip stops aren't possible. There's almost no flexibility when setting up lines. On top of that, there are weird inconsistencies — for example, some shared lanes have bus stops where trams won’t stop, even though they share the same lane. Honestly, I was really looking forward to the bus module, but in its current state it feels rushed, unpolished, and disappointing.

I'm a tram driver in Croatia (Zagreb). The game is solid, but there are some things in it that seem unrealistic to me and kill the immersion a bit. I'm writing from the perspective of both a tram driver and a tram enthusiast. 1) Traffic lights. In 80-90 percent of cases, I have to stop at traffic lights or slow down significantly before them, which is unrealistic. In reality, in Zagreb, I can often catch green traffic lights if I drive at a certain speed on a certain section (more experienced drivers know exactly where, for example, it makes sense to drive 30 km/h to always reach green traffic lights, and where you need to speed up a little). Traffic lights in Zagreb change periodically and you can memorize the phases. That's not the case here. At every traffic light, I'm greeted by red first, and I have the feeling that some of them only change to green when I stop completely and brake the tram, i.e. that the system doesn't recognize when I'm slowly crawling towards the traffic light. When I drive in real life, I often don't brake the tram completely at the traffic lights, but crawl because that way I lose less time and I'm faster, but in the game it seems to me that I'm penalized for this by waiting longer at the traffic lights. Maybe I'm wrong, but traffic lights are certainly unnatural and some are illogical. For example, between two phases of green for my direction, the red phase lasts either too short (just a few seconds?) or too long. Also, sometimes the opposite direction is green, and for me it's not, although there's no reason for that. 2) I would like to be able to set a button on the joystick to open all doors and not be limited to 4/7 seconds before closing the doors. What's the point of having to wait four seconds before turning off the door release if I see that everyone has gotten out, and no one needs to get in because there's no one at the station? In Zagreb, we open all doors at larger stops instead of using door release because it's faster, but in the game it's inconvenient because it doesn't let me rebind a button on the gamepad. Also, what is the point of having to absolutely HAVE to stop and press the door release? In my opinion, if there is no one on the tram and no one at the station (the night lines I like to ride in the game), there is no point in stopping at the station. 3) Speed limits are too high. On some turns, the turning radius is such that 20 km/h is way too much. In Zagreb, on such sharp turns, the official limit is 5 km/h, although the switches are constantly being serviced and so on. Also, the game implies that you can drive 50 km/h below the switch direction change contact, and only at the switch itself is the limit set at 20 km/h. In Zagreb, the switch would not change if you pass under the contact at more than 20 km/h, and if I slow down so much here below the switch contact, I can no longer catch even some rare traffic lights that are designed to be caught. Maybe the principle of turning the switches in Tramau is different than in Zagreb (we have physical contact on the overhead line, which is controlled by a pantograph). 4) Timetables. Probably related to the first point. If I don't drive like a madman, on a moderate or strict timetable it is impossible to arrive on time even though there is no traffic on the street, but I am held up by traffic lights. Also, regarding traffic jams: it seems to me that there is always traffic jams in the opposite direction from where I am going, which is unrealistic. In the opposite direction I see 10 cars waiting at the traffic lights, and in my direction there is always one or two. If I am late, it would be realistic to be late because of the traffic jams, like in Zagreb, and not because the traffic lights have been holding me up for years. 5) The situation at the tram roundabouts. When one tram stops behind another and waits for departure, it no longer moves back even though the first tram has left. This creates a traffic jam at the tram roundabout and I can no longer get to the platform to let passengers off the tram. A pretty stupid problem that is not solved, and makes the game frustrating. Another thing about leaving the tram roundabout: if I choose to skip the wait, the tram in front of me starts at the same time as me instead of teleporting to the place where it should be according to its schedule. It turns out that the tram in front of me and I are on the same schedule. This is a more important problem than adding new vehicles, and it is not solved. 6) AI trams drive even faster over roundabouts, switches, etc. than the limit is, even though the limit itself is too high. Especially some models rush along the track as if the devil is chasing them. 7) AI traffic (cars). It happens to me that AI cars do a brake check at traffic lights. It's green, I start, they probably don't like that I started too fast and then brake until I brake, only when they see that I brake - they start. Crazy. They also sometimes honk even though there is no reason for it. On one section, two stops near the turnoff on line 7, cars push in front of the tram even though the tram should have priority. AI trams also drive robotically. 8) On some lines, the tram derails at some switches (Flexity Wien) even though it is traveling at less than the speed limit. For example, I drive 15 km/h at a switch and it derails. It has never been fixed, which shows that the developers don't play the game at all. 9) Behavior that would be punished in real life in Zagreb is not punished. For example, using sand on a switch or constantly braking hard. Driving like a maniac is encouraged, which is not in the spirit of the simulation. It's also a shame that the switches, for example, never break, in reality they can break and you have to turn them manually. I miss more gameplay mechanics, and fewer new vehicles. The game would be better if these things were fixed. :)

Ganz ehrlich, das Spiel macht schon Bock, keine Frage aber 100€? Dafür erwarte ich, dass der Bus mir morgens Kaffee kocht und mich persönlich zur Arbeit fährt. Für 40–60€? Voll okay. Kann man machen. Aber bei 100€ bist du nicht mehr im „ich gönn mir mal was“-Bereich, sondern schon im „hab ich aus Versehen ’ne Monatskarte gekauft?“ Modus. Ich habe mir den BUS+TRAM variante gekauft: 2 Busse 2 Trams das WARS für wiederum 40€ Aber jetzte hat man nicht mall die auswahl was mann sich für eine Variante holen will sonder alles für 100€ was für ein SCHEI?... ach ja ganz vergessen eine winzig kleine Map.... --Müsst ihr wissen--

Absolute Frechheit – reine Abzocke! Man kauft das Spiel komplett über Steam, inklusive MAN Lions City Pack. Steam zeigt eindeutig an, dass das DLC installiert ist – und im Spiel selbst wird man trotzdem mit der Meldung abgespeist, man hätte das DLC nicht? Was soll dieser Müll? Wenn etwas gekauft und installiert ist, dann hat es auch zu funktionieren. Alles andere ist einfach nur peinlich und grenzt an Betrug. Und der Support? Komplett unbrauchbar. Keine funktionierende Support-Seite, und der Discord-Link auf Steam ist auch noch abgelaufen. Wie soll man bitte Hilfe bekommen? So geht man nicht mit zahlenden Kunden um. Absolut enttäuschend – dringend fixen!

This game is not worth buying it is just like paradox but even worse. You pay like 25€ for the game and then you are expected to pay another 20€ for each other vehicle so you can realistically only ever drive the trams there is two free ones if I am correct and you start with the one from Wiener Linien. Overall it is a very realistic game it has acurate sounds but still its not worth it. I would rate this game 1 Wienerlinien Tram out of 42 Hochbahn Subways
