Subway Tycoon

Build the network. Move the city. Master the Underground.

Take control of a growing subway network and turn a handful of stations and trains into a massive transit system spanning some of the world's most recognizable cities.

Subway Tycoon is a browser-based transport management and tycoon game where every route you build has consequences. Purchase stations, design your own lines, deploy trains and manage an increasingly complicated network as thousands of passengers try to get where they're going.

BUILD YOUR NETWORK

Start small and expand across the city.

Purchase stations, connect them into custom routes and decide how your subway system should grow. There is no predetermined network — how the city connects is up to you.

MANAGE YOUR FLEET

Buying trains is only the beginning.

Add trains to busy routes, increase carriage capacity and balance operating costs against growing passenger demand. A poorly managed line can quickly become overwhelmed.

MOVE THOUSANDS OF PASSENGERS

Passengers aren't just a number.

They travel across your network, use interchange stations and transfer between routes to reach their destinations.

As your network grows, so does the challenge.

One badly designed interchange or overcrowded route can create congestion that spreads throughout your entire system.

RUN THE BUSINESS

Every expansion costs money.

Balance:

• Ticket revenue
• Train purchases
• Fleet upgrades
• Maintenance costs
• Station expansion
• Company reputation
• Passenger satisfaction

Expanding too quickly can leave you operating an enormous subway network that can't pay for itself.

BUILD IN REAL CITIES

Construct your network using real-world station locations and geography.

Learn the city, discover important interchange locations and decide whether you want to recreate familiar transit corridors or build something completely different.

FACE A GROWING CHALLENGE

A network with five stations is easy.

A network with fifty isn't.

As passenger numbers increase, you'll need to identify overcrowded stations, add capacity, improve routes and keep trains moving efficiently.

Eventually, you're not just building subway lines.

You're managing an entire city's transportation system.

Subway Tycoon is currently in active development.

The game is free to play during development, and player feedback will directly influence new cities, features, balancing and future updates.

If you find a bug, have an idea, or completely destroy your city's transportation network — I'd love to hear about it.
