Bus Sketch: draw city bus routes on real city maps
Drag from one stop to another and your route follows the real roads, with a bus on it right away. Passengers marked ● ■ ★ gather at stops; take each one to a stop with the same shape.
After each game, see your routes next to the city's real bus routes, and how many passengers you carried against the rival: a network the game builds on the same map and budget.
How to play
No transit jargon, no timetables. Drag to connect, add buses, tweak routes.
Fares pay for new stops, routes and buses. Upkeep is due every week, and two weeks in the red means bankruptcy. If a stop gets overcrowded, the game is over.
Every week, pick a bonus: a free bus, a big bus, a new route or more room at a stop.
