Known Issues
- Career mode bus lines are not automatically added for existing players of CTS: Tram, which causes AI buses to not appear in career mode when using an existing save.
- Sandbox mode bus lines are also not automatically added for existing players of CTS: Tram. You’ll need to press “Restore Default Lines” — but please note that this will delete any custom sandbox lines you’ve created.
We are actively working on fixing these two issues and will provide a hotfix as soon as possible, so that CTS: Tram players can experience AI buses as promised. Thank you for your patience!
Thanks for Your Support!

We’re just getting started — more improvements and features are on the way. In the meantime, enjoy the new missions, customizable stations, improved AI, and everything CTS: Bus has to offer.
