Transport Fever

Transport Fever, also known as Transport Fever 1, puts you at the helm of a growing transportation empire. From trains to ships and planes, this simulation challenges you to build and manage routes that keep cities buzzing and goods flowing. Ever wondered how much goes into running a smooth transport network? Here’s your chance to find out. It’s a mix of strategy, planning, and a little bit of patience—because those routes don’t lay themselves.

Getting into the Game

The core of Transport Fever is about constructing and connecting transport lines across history-rich maps of Europe and North America, starting from 1850. You’ll build roads, railways, ports, and airports while juggling age-old problems like traffic and passenger flow. It’s not just “build and forget” either—your network’s efficiency impacts the economy, so smart decisions really matter. Still, it’s fun watching tiny trains chug along and ships sail on.

Gameplay and Mechanics

Don’t expect a quick fix. Transport Fever requires planning and managing multiple transport modes at once. Need to connect a mining town to a city? Set up the right cargo routes. Passengers stuck at a station? Maybe add more vehicles. Lesson learned: always check if your routes make sense before expanding. The editor’s intuitive, so even if you’re new to this type of game, you’ll get the hang of moving pieces around in no time.
