Simutrans is a sophisticated, feature-rich transportation and economy simulation game, similar to Transport Tycoon. You create railroad and bus lines to transport people, goods, and mail between cities and industries. The objective is to grow the transportation infrastructure and the associated businesses without damaging the environment. While the graphics of the game is tile-based, the action quickly becomes highly complex. The game is under active development with new features being added regularly. Linux downloads are available on the project web site.
