OpenTTD is a transport business simulation based on Transport Tycoon Deluxe, Chris Sawyer's 1995 classic, and made free and open source by its community. You start a transport company, by default in 1950, and earn money by carrying passengers, mail and cargo such as coal, goods or oil between towns and industries.

The fun is in building a network that works: railways with signals and junctions, bus and truck routes, ships and airports, all paid for out of your profits and a bank loan. Towns grow when they are well served, and new vehicles appear over the decades. Choose from temperate, sub-arctic, sub-tropical and toyland maps or build your own in the scenario editor. This web copy is single player and in English, with sound effects and music.

How to play

Press New Game, pick a climate and map size and press Generate.

Find two towns or an industry and a factory that are not far apart.

Build a station at each end and connect them with track or road, then add a depot.

Buy a vehicle in the depot, give it orders to go to both stations and start it.

Use the profit to extend your network and pay back your loan.

Tips

Start with a short coal route from a mine to a power station: it is cheap and pays well.

Passengers and mail between two big towns are a good second route.
