What is LOTUS-Simulator?

This early-access transit simulator lets you drive buses and trams through town, follow schedules, and carry passengers. Road and rail vehicles are sold as separate modules. You can also build maps and create scenery objects or vehicles with editing tools, or coordinate routes with other players by radio.

For you if...

+you like driving buses and trams on scheduled routes
+you want to build maps for a transit simulator
+you enjoy coordinating routes with other players

Not for you if...

−you prefer racing over following transit schedules
−you expect road and rail vehicles in one module

What players say
