City Transport Simulator 2026 collectibles are hidden souvenir items scattered across stops, transit hubs, and central stations that unlock specific game achievements when found. Players can explore the city on foot using the game's Free Roam mode to locate four primary collectible categories alongside special historical photos.

How to Search for Collectibles in Free Roam
City Transport Simulator 2026 includes an open-world Free Roam mode that allows you to step out of the driver's seat and walk as a pedestrian across the map's 50+ kilometers of routes and 80+ unique stations.
To search for collectibles effectively:
- Enter Free Roam mode or complete a scheduled route. When finishing a shift at an endpoint or depot, you can hand over the bus or tram to an AI driver (by holding the interaction button, such as Triangle on PlayStation controllers) and step out.
- Walk through station platforms, passenger waiting shelters, and nearby storefronts.
- Interact with small objects resting on benches, ledges, and counters. Some collectibles provide short pieces of transit lore when picked up—such as historical notes detailing the city's first electric tram launch on May 6, 1895.
Confirmed Specific Locations
While full coordinate checklists for every single mug and keychain across the 80+ stations are not yet fully mapped in public community logs, player reports and developer achievements confirm specific key locations:
Hauptbahnhof Team Picture ("Ahh Memories…")
- Location: Hauptbahnhof (Central Station)
- Specific Spot: When standing directly in front of the central station, proceed to the right side of the area until you reach the kebab stand. The group photo is resting on the right side of the kebab stand's service counter.
- Reward: Unlocks the "Ahh Memories…" achievement immediately upon interaction.
Platform Souvenirs
- Location: Passenger tram and bus stops along the southern Germany-inspired network.
- Specific Spot: Mugs, keychains, and historical postcard souvenirs appear on ticket kiosk areas, seating shelters, and platform benches. Detailed lists for every individual keychain location remain unconfirmed in current official data.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you pick up collectibles while driving a bus or tram?
No. You must leave the driver's seat and walk around on foot. In Career or Sandbox mode, you can stop at a station or switch dynamically to pedestrian mode during Free Roam to inspect stops and counters.
What do collectible souvenirs display when collected?
Interacting with certain souvenirs opens up transit trivia and historical milestones regarding the transit network, such as the date when the city ran its first electric tram.
Do collectible achievements require purchasing DLC expansions?
Base game collectible achievements—such as the Hauptbahnhof photo, Postcards, Mugs, and Keychains—are tied to the base city map and its transit stops. Expansions like the Vienna DLC introduce separate city maps and dedicated DLC routes, but the core collectible achievements originate from the main release.
