Tram Driver

Run a city tram through traffic lights. Stop at each stop, keep to 40 km/h and time your run so the light has turned green when you reach it, because passing a red light ends the run. Six street routes.

How to play

  1. Use Up or W for power, Down or S to cut it, and hold Space or B to brake. The tram is light, so it starts quickly and stops quickly.
  2. Traffic lights change on a cycle. Watch the light ahead: if it will still be red when you get there, ease off and slow down so it turns green first, or stop short of it.
  3. Stop at every stop, wait for the doors, and move on. Keep to the 40 km/h limit and the slower zones near the squares.

Controls: mouse, touch or keyboard. Made by CalcoTools.

Tips and strategy

  • Each light is red for a fixed part of a fixed cycle, so after one full cycle you know exactly when it will change. Plan your approach speed around that.
  • Do not brake hard for a light that is about to change; arriving as it turns green keeps you on time and gives a smoother ride.
  • Stops that sit just after a light let you use the red as part of the schedule. Plan the whole block, not one light at a time.

FAQ

What happens if I pass a red light?
The run ends at once on the early levels. The lights follow a repeating cycle, so you can always work out in advance whether one will be green when you reach it.
Why does the tram feel so quick?
A tram is much lighter than a train, so for the same push it speeds up and stops faster. The game uses a light vehicle with a strong brake to show that.
