Most cities have one thing in common – traffic congestion! Take control of a living breathing virtual city and relegate road rage to history as you make all the transport infrastructure decisions. Will you build bigger and better roads? Will you try traffic lights at that snarled up intersection?

Perhaps, the answer is to convince the citizens of your city to leave their cars at home and transfer to public transport as you build a network of buses, trams and underground subways. Once your network is complete you must set fares that generate profit whilst not discouraging commuters!

All of this infrastructure requires labour and it is your job to hire the staff and equipment, from road construction crews to heavy machinery. You must keep your staff well paid whilst balancing the books to ensure overall profit, lest you incur the wrath of city officials!

As your success grows so does your city and you must adapt your strategies to cope with an expanding population and deal with everything from smog to icy winters, road accidents and a range of challenges that will put your ingenuity and skills to the test.

When spring comes will you have sufficient funds in the city coffers to repair weather damaged roads and keep the traffic flowing freely? Will the feedback from city officials and the public be positive, hiring you for another year or will you be in a jam and hitting the road?

The decisions are yours as you strive to be the ultimate Traffic Manager.
