City Transport Simulator 2026 (developed by ViewApp and published by ViewApp - CTS) features a dual fleet of urban buses and light rail trams across its fictional German-inspired city Tramau and dedicated expansion maps such as Vienna. Whether you are driving entry-level solo buses or heavy articulated trams, every vehicle includes simulated cockpits, realistic door handling, authentic drivetrain acoustics, and full compatibility across keyboard, gamepad, and steering wheel hardware.
This guide lists every bus and tram confirmed across the base editions, DLC expansions, and post-launch updates.

Generational Differences: Vienna ULF A/B vs. ULF A1/B1
While both generations share the ultra-low-floor platform originally deployed by Wiener Linien, the developer recreated the older ULF A and ULF B specifically for the Vienna Expansion with distinct technical, visual, and operational traits:
- Propulsion and Motors: The older ULF A and B utilize water-cooled 80 kW electric traction motors (six motors on the A, eight on the B). In contrast, the A1 and B1 models feature air-cooled 35 kW motor packages.
- Cab Electronics and IBIS: ULF A and B are equipped with the monochrome B1690 IBIS unit. The A1 and B1 run the modern B2063d unit featuring a color display and an integrated coasting efficiency gauge.
- Exterior Lighting: The front headlights on the A and B sit closer to the center of the nose, with rectangular front turn signals and rear lights. On the A1 and B1, headlights are spaced wider toward the outer edges, paired with round signaling lamps.
- Interior Climate and Glass: The A and B models lack passenger air conditioning, featuring five openable sliding windows per module instead. The modernized A1 and B1 incorporate passenger climate units and limit sliding windows to one per module. Handrails are grey with white wall panels on A/B, compared to yellow handrails and grey interior panels on A1/B1.
Viennese Citybus C2 vs. Standard C2
The C2 buses bundled with the Vienna Expansion feature specific regional modifications reflecting the real Wiener Linien fleet rather than generic German transit specifications:
- Door Mechanics: Every entrance uses electrically driven swing-sliding doors. At the front entrance, the rear door leaf swings outward at an angle to clear the front right wheel when the steering axle is fully turned.
- Dashboard and Ticketing: Viennese C2 and C2G variants do not feature an onboard passenger ticket printing terminal. Fare validation and route adjustments rely strictly on the Vienna-spec IBIS system.
- Engine Configurations: The 12-meter C2 runs an OM 936 diesel engine rated at 220 kW (300 hp), while the 18-meter articulated C2G uses the heavier OM 470 diesel rated at 265 kW (360 hp). Both drive through a 6-speed ZF Ecolife torque-converter transmission.
Mechanical Pedal Controls: Tatra KT4D
The Tatra KT4D DLC introduces a unique control layout compared to the rest of the tram roster. Instead of standard hand-lever throttles commonly found in modern low-floor units, the KT4D utilizes floor pedal control for accelerating and dynamic service braking. It also supports double-traction operation, allowing players to couple two KT4D units together to double line capacity while synchronizing speed limits, contactor relay acoustics, and multi-unit passenger announcements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles are included in the base Starter Edition of CTS 2026?
The Starter Edition includes 6 bus models—the MAN Lion’s City A21 (2-door and 3-door), Gräf/Steyr NL205, MAN Lion’s City A23 (3-door and 4-door), and Gräf/Steyr NG235—alongside 3 tram models: the Vienna ULF A1, Vienna ULF B1, and Munich R2.2b.
Can all trams and buses be driven on the Vienna expansion map?
Yes. Although the expansion routes (Tram Lines 37 and 38, Bus Line 35A, and Night Bus N35) are set in Vienna, base game vehicles and other DLC trams or buses can be selected and driven on the Vienna map network.
Do buses in the Vienna DLC have ticket sales?
No. The Viennese C2 and C2G variants faithfully mirror Wiener Linien fleet specifications and do not feature active onboard ticket printers or manual fare change tables. Ticket vending gameplay remains active on base game buses equipped with standard cash and contactless ticket machines.
How do I use custom announcements on vehicles?
As of Update 26.2.0 on PC, players can supply custom audio files into the game's Announcements folder. Depending on the cabin equipment, special announcements trigger via Button 3 on the Vienna IBIS, the "Special Announcement" prompt on Munich IBIS units, or the speaker icon on Frankfurt IBIS and base bus ticket printers.
