Transit King is looking for Pioneers! Thanks to the courtesy of Dirktator and the rest of Simtropolis people, we're here to enlist!

Here's a short description:

In this new free-to-play tycoon game Transit King, your job is to take over the transport company of Henry Goodwin III, who’s more into horse polo than hard day-to-day work. The surrounding towns and villages evolve into glimmering cities as you fulfill their requests for food, clothing, goods and mass transit. Transit King offers an approachable yet elaborate take on tycoon games with multi-tiered goods chains and gradual expansion into new areas of transit business.

We got big plans for what Transit King can offer with the final release. The current version concentrates on truck traffic, with buses, multiplayer and more to follow. We’re aiming at Fall 2017 release with Summer spent on adding features and polishing them up for the final game. Pioneers with suitable Android devices can hop right in with iOS users to follow soon after. Pioneers are not just glorified beta testers, but front runners whose feedback will help us make Transit King the best it can be! BON Games is a small team from Finland, we're aiming high to bring you a solid laid-back tycoon experience for mobile devices.

WHO ARE THE PIONEERS
- A group of players ready to test beta builds, give feedback and help Transit King evolve during the summer for the launch

WHAT THEY DO
- Give feedback/bug reports/suggestions about the game straight to the devs 

- If they like Transit King, maybe mentioning it to their friends :)

WHAT THEY GET
- Early access to the alpha and beta builds

Special in-game title of “Pioneer” with a golden nameplate (once the game's complete)
- Premium currency called Transit Notes periodically during development and a big pile on game's launch
- And of course, the eternal gratitude of BON Games team!

For more info, feel free to post questions and comments here, or send me direct messages through Simtropolis or email (matti.isotalo@bongames.fi).

    Even if you're not thinking about joining up, please go ahead and ask me anything about Transit King! You got a great community of city builders here at Simtropolis, so any input is greatly valued! And if you're an Apple user, contact me and I'll add you to the list. We already got an iOS version, but it needs a bit of updating before sending it to Pioneers.

    The Pioneers have now received their version of Transit King and a forum has been set up to provide feedback, suggestions and whatnot. We'd greatly appreciate more Pioneers from Simtropolis crowd, as your input is very valued in the development! Don't hesitate to message me for an invite, even if you're unsure if you'll like the game or are ready spend time with it! We're squashing bugs and adding more features every week, so if you'd want a peek "behind the curtains" on how a game is developed, Pioneer program might be for you!

    Hello,

    I have download the game Transit King and I am playing since a week. I love this game! It's very addictive and creative.

    I have a question. How can I upgrade a city ? It's a contract but I don't know how to do that. Is there a place where I can have informations about the contracts ?

    Thank you,

    Geneviève.

    Hiya, @GennieBravo . Welcome to Simtropolis! *:) 

    This Transit King game isn't one we (Simtropolis) actively support like SC4 or CSL and @IsoElukka hasn't logged in here since July 24. That's not to say you won't get a quick answer, but as a secondary option you could visit their home page. Scroll down there to find their email address for a (possibly) quicker reply. *;)

    Hello and sorry for the late reply. Apparently the message notifications directly to my email stopped working for some reason or another (maybe the site update, maybe my mail settings or the position of the moon). Again, apologies for that whatever the case.

    You can upgrade a city by completing its requests for various goods. The bigger the request, the more City XP you get. So to complete the contract, fulfill lots of requests for the same city. We're adding an expanded info option to the contracts to clarify exactly what the contracts wants you to do.

    Just a quick update: We've now published the Transit King FB page at https://www.facebook.com/transitkinggame/ and will be using that for news and game info. The soft launch is expanding as well, so you might already be able to try the game out! Go check it out and maybe drop a like while at it?
