Cities in Motion: Design Now

What New Transit Options Are Included?

New Vehicle Profiles

Buses and Urban Mobility

The Stern-Berger Midi is introduced as a bus designed specifically for dense urban settings. Its features emphasize maneuverability, noted by its short wheelbase and light weight, alongside low-floor access to facilitate quicker boarding and deboarding in busy city centers.

Air Travel

The Pavlov P-42 represents a rotorcraft option. Originally conceived for military applications, this robust helicopter is noted for its relatively low empty weight and slower acceleration. It is positioned in the simulation as suitable for mid-distance passenger and goods transport, particularly useful where ground infrastructure is limited or slow.

Water Transport

For routes crossing water bodies, the Stingray Cityjet is added. This is a fast, short-distance catamaran of Australian design. The third generation featured in the game emphasizes high fuel efficiency and low noise emissions, making it a viable option for regular ferry services and sightseeing tours.

Tram Systems

The Vagabondo Satellite is an Italian-built tram. It is characterized by its reliability and a six-axle, single-body configuration featuring partial low-floor access. Its design includes driving cabins at both ends of the frame, which can be advantageous for route efficiency in certain layouts.

Commuter Rail

Finally, the Crescenta T4 Suburbia offers a solution for connecting urban hubs with surrounding areas. This Danish creation functions as a combined metro/light railway train, reflecting a design intended for traditional commuter traffic between city centers and countryside towns.

How Does This Content Affect Gameplay?

Does this DLC introduce new mechanics?

This content package does not introduce new core gameplay mechanics, systems, or features outside of the vehicles themselves. The appeal lies in the expanded strategic depth provided by having more specialized tools. Players must assess the unique characteristics—such as the maneuverability of the Stern-Berger Midi versus the speed of the Stingray Cityjet—to optimize their existing transit networks within the simulation environment.

As a DLC, it is entirely dependent on the base game, Cities in Motion. Its scope is focused on providing new assets rather than substantial new content blocks, offering a direct upgrade to the vehicle selection available to players managing their cities.
