How to Play

Driving a tram is a cycle of three steps: pick up passengers and depart, drive, then stop and let passengers off. Press F1 in-game to show the control guide.

1. Pick up passengers and depart

Trams board at the rear door and exit at the front. Let passengers board, close the doors, then depart: release the brake and advance the throttle (master controller) one notch at a time, from 0 to 7.

Door controls: keys 1 and Q for the front door, 2 and W for the rear door

2. Drive

Once you reach your target speed, follow the speed limit signs and traffic signals. Stop before the intersection when the signal is red.

3. Stop and let passengers off

At each stop, align the front of the tram with the white line — the hardest part of the job. Once stopped, open the front door to let passengers off.
