Typically, the greater the distance you deliver something, if you manage to do it in a reasonable amount of time, the greater the amount of money you get, but your profits can be cut short if it takes too long or if your vehicles are inefficient. With other vehicles the amount and kinds of goods transported changes greatly, and where you can build you roads and tracks or the distance you can deliver changes. Setting up a railroad transportation division is exactly the same as the other vehicles, so you don't have to relearn the interface. The game gives you some great financial reports that makes it very easy to pick out what vehicles aren't making money over time so you can choose to either decommision them or change up their route.īranching out to whatever kind of business venture you want is easy. As time passes, you can choose to update to faster and more reliable busses, close down unprofittable bus stops, or alter routes to accomodate more passengers and more cities. This all sounds kind of mundane at first, but the interface is very easy to learn and it ends up being a lot of fun. You get to make the decision of what kind of busses to purchase, where they get repaired when needed, where you put the bus stops, exactly what route the busses take and what stops that actually go to, if they wait for a full load or not, and so many other things. For example, you decide to first focus on passenger transportation on an up and coming city using busses. Everything is up to you, but the competition will try to steal the business first.Ī great deal of detail was put into this game. You could decide to dominate the passenger industry by building complex bus systems and more expensive airports and jets, or maybe you want to be the sole provider of coal and oil to refineries with a thriving railroad setup. The game gives you a great great freedom of choice, with no way necesarily being the best. Busses, trucks, trains, airplanes, and boats to transport passengers, mail, retail goods, lumber, coal, oil, and other resources can be used to see to other companies, industries and local governments that will pay you handsomely for them. Transport Tycoon Deluxe is a commerce/transportation simulation game where you build and manage your company into whatever size and by whatever method you feel like.
