Traffic Giant is a detailed transport‑management simulation game developed by JoWooD Productions and released for Windows in 2000. In this strategic title, players build and manage an entire city’s public transportation network, including buses, trams, commuter trains, metro lines, ferries, and more. Your goal is to design efficient transit routes, optimize schedules, and balance budgets while meeting the growing demands of urban commuters. As the city expands, effective planning becomes essential to prevent congestion, maintain profitability, and earn citizen satisfaction.
Unlike many city builders that focus on zoning and construction, Traffic Giant zeroes in on transit logistics: you choose vehicle types, set stop placements, adjust ticket prices, and solve real‑time traffic problems like delays or overcrowding. The game’s isometric perspective gives clear visibility of infrastructure and city growth, while passengers follow realistic routines that influence traffic patterns. You’ll also face challenges such as rush‑hour peaks, environmental concerns, and limited funding — all encouraging smart network design and long‑term strategy.
