During gameplay, you assume the role of a manager of a transportation company. The objective is to build and maintain networks of urban transportation and expanding the metropolis. Therefore, the player puts up stops, constructs railways, builds roads, and more. The game offers two new game modes – Map Construction Mode and Driving Mode. The first one consists in creating a map for a new metropolis, and in the second, the player drive cars, small boats, and – naturally – trains. There are over 200 models of them, including the bullet train Shinkansen. A-Train Express features tutorial videos for those less experienced.
