Build the ultimate transport empire! Take control of your own fledgling transport company, and use your engineering skill and business acumen to keep cargo and passengers moving - and keep the money rolling in! Transport Tycoon contains everything that made the original PC game an all-time classic, plus a whole host of brilliant new features - bigger, richer worlds, deeper simulation and a huge variety of land, sea and air vehicles. The intuitive new touch screen interface makes it easier than ever to build and maintain your transport network. Whether you're planning and constructing ambitious engineering projects, or simply exploring the intricately simulated workings of the game's world, Transport Tycoon is your ticket to many hours of absorbing and rewarding entertainment. TRANSPORT TYCOON is the definitive version of the classic simulation game, created by 31x and Origin8 Technologies in collaboration with Chris Sawyer, the original designer and developer of the TRANSPORT TYCOON and ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON franchises. BUILD • Deploy bus and tram networks to grow sleepy towns into bustling cities. • Lay cross-country railroads to keep industries supplied with precious resources. • Construct massive bridges, dig tunnels and deploy earth-moving tools to carve a path through mountainous terrain. • Build air and sea ports to transport cargo and passengers further and faster in an accelerating world. EXPLORE • A wide range of beautiful landscapes including deserts, forests, mountains, valleys and islands. • Several ‘real-world’ scenarios modelled on regions of North America and Europe at different periods in the 20th century. • A richly simulated world with changing seasons and working industries, farms and towns. • An all-new interface puts everything you need to explore and interact with the world at your fingertips. DESIGN • Over 150 vehicle types allowing you to choose the ideal transport solution for every situation. • Use railway junctions and signals to allow multiple trains to share your rail routes. • Modify vehicles and stations and assign new routes to adapt your business in real time. • Upgrade and replace old vehicles as new and better ones are invented – all the way to supersonic jets and bullet trains! COMPETE • Play through 49 scenarios expertly designed to suit all skill levels and playing styles. • Try to stay one step ahead of advanced A.I.-driven competitor's companies. • Track your progress and troubleshoot your business with in-depth company statistics. • Prove yourself worthy of the title of Transport Tycoon and take on the life-consuming 100 Year Challenges!

It’ll scratch that itch, but the UI is miserable
12/19/2019

Cowabunga41
The controls/UI are stunningly bad (looking at you road/rail placement tool) and there are some major quality of life issues such as the amount of effort it takes to replace your vehicle fleet, or the amount of menus you have to navigate to buy, place, and route vehicles, or how the see-through buildings/trees option still somehow manages to be difficult to see-through, or a hundred other issues that plague this port. Open Transport Tycoon on PC blows this version out of the water in comparison. That being said, if you need your mobile fix of TTD, this is it. It’s definitely that sweet transportation management/planning action that you so desperately crave. For all my complaints, I’ve logged an absurd number of hours since downloading it last week. It doesn’t seem like the developer is interested in doing anything other than making sure this app is up to date with the latest iOS, so don’t expect any fixes for the issues. But you know you’re going to get it anyway.

I want to talk in nick name!!!
This game is great, I love it so much, I have too many saves. But at one point you just have too much money and too little space to do anything. That’s the main issue. Anyway the next review is from last year. Ok so updated, because I saw a good point in another review, iPad is a good format to play on, but the boats feature is terrible. You have to manually route them in order to get them to work and, not many people use the boats. Also, what you’re about to read is something I wrote years ago. Hey could you add maybe crashes? Like vehicles can crash? Can you also add highways? Like highways that get auto built by the game? Also add cars! Please that would be awesome because there aren't just lots of trucks and buses and trams in a city is there? Also last but not least...BIG RIGS! The icon of this game shows a tractor trailer but in the game you only have trucks without trailers and that's what I want you to add pleeeeeeaaaaaassssseeeeee!

Almost brilliant

Railroad tycoon 2 is one of my favorite games ever. This is basically the same game with some added stuff like buses, boats, and planes. However, the interface on the iphone is extremely frustrating. Removing any mistakenly laid track is a nightmare. Plus the whole boat aspect is pretty messed up.Please update so that the demolish/bulldozer can remove track. Why do we even have the bulldozer if all it can remove is trees? Might as well have just given us a chainsaw! Also make it so boats can refuse certain items, so they don't get caught running all over the map rejecting large shipments just because they're carrying four units of food! In all honesty, I love this game but those couple features have irritated me to no end. Thanks!

Improvements that Should be included

I have been a avid player of this game for years and I have one suggestion that should be considered is the feature from Chris Sawyer’s Locomotion; the availability to make custom scenarios! To be honest about this my mostly expanded map capabilities in the Boulder Bay challenge by expanding the island’s size but when certain goods and food services aren’t available to fully accommodate the three main cities, because of the lack of food industries that should be available to accommodate for higher percentages, my point is that I don’t looking at low numbers for satisfaction. Please at least offer some variations of the Boulder Island challenge with other industries, I have made my own custom scenarios in Locomotion but wishing if there was some ability to share the custom scenarios directly to the mobile app. If that’s possible I would be very inclined to give a five-star rating if this team could accommodate for such needs.
