City Transport Simulator 2026 Alstom Flexity trams bring modern low-floor light rail vehicles into ViewApp's transit simulation. The manufacturer's lineup in the game includes the operational Flexity Vienna (Flexity Wien) and the announced Flexity Graz. Drivers can operate these modern units with full cab controls, realistic brake mechanics, and dynamic climate settings across dedicated city routes.
Alstom Flexity Vienna Overview and In-Game Features
The Flexity Vienna represents the modern generation of Vienna's streetcar network, modeled after the real-world vehicles produced by Bombardier and Alstom that entered passenger service in 2017. Unlike older high-floor trams such as the Type E1 or early low-floor prototypes, the Flexity Wien is a 100% low-floor articulated tram designed for level, barrier-free passenger boarding.
The vehicle cockpit is fully digitized and features:
- Driver-side camera displays replacing traditional exterior wing mirrors.
- Interactive multifunction displays with custom switch sounds.
- Realistic electrodynamic braking systems that deliver smooth decelerations.
- Functional heating, air conditioning, and defogging controls that interact directly with the game's dynamic weather engine.
- Working driver controls, including dedicated pedals for the bell and magnetic track brake.
How to Get Flexity Trams in CTS 2026
Access to Alstom Flexity vehicles depends on the game edition or DLC packs you purchase. The table below outlines how each Flexity model is distributed across official platforms.
| Vehicle Model | Availability / Package | Standalone Price | Included in Season Pass? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flexity Vienna | Expert Edition, Expert Upgrade Pack, or Standalone Tram DLC | €17.99 regular (€13.49 promo in CTS store) | Included in Expert Edition bundle; not part of standard Season Pass |
| Flexity Graz | CTS 2026 Season Pass (Q4 2026 release) or Standalone DLC | Price unconfirmed for standalone launch | Yes (included in the €64.99 Season Pass 2026) |
Players who own the CTS 2026 Starter Edition ($39.99 / €39.99) can obtain the Flexity Vienna via the standalone vehicle DLC or by purchasing the Expert Upgrade Pack, which also includes the MAN New Lion's City bus and the StadtRegioTram. The Flexity Graz is scheduled as the final DLC of 2026, releasing in the fourth quarter.
Operating the Flexity on Vienna Expansion Routes
With the release of the Vienna Expansion on October 13, 2026, players can operate the Flexity Vienna on authentic Austrian capital services. While Vienna's timetable features the classic ULF A and ULF B as the default base rolling stock, the Flexity Vienna can be selected directly on the map's tram lines:
- Line 37: Runs from the underground terminal at Schottentor northwards to Hohe Warte.
- Line 38: Shares initial tracks from Schottentor through Nußdorfer Straße before branching outward toward Grinzing.
Operating on real-world routes requires careful attention to traffic separation, tight clearances, and road intersections. In dynamic autumn rain or winter weather, adhesion drops; heavy braking can cause wheel slip if handled improperly, though the tram's magnetic emergency track brake provides rapid stopping power when pedestrians or turning cars cut across the tracks.
Vehicle Fixes and Changes in Update 26.2.0
Developer ViewApp implemented specific physics and control updates for the Flexity platform in Update 26.2.0:
- Windshield Wipers: Wipers can now be switched off using the same toggle button previously used to cycle them on.
- Left Display Audio: Additional button press audio effects were added to the driver's left interface screen.
- Pedal Inputs: Driver pedals for the warning bell and track brake function correctly when bound to pedals or button inputs.
- Adhesion Mechanics: Revised friction curves prevent wheel lockup when applying heavy service braking under normal operating conditions.
- Audio Overhaul: Exterior curve squeal, motor pitch, door chimes, and pantograph sounds were updated, with enhanced cab sound insulation dampening passenger cabin noise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Flexity Vienna run on standard fictional routes like Tramau?
Yes. The Flexity Vienna can be deployed across sandbox and custom lines in the base game city of Tramau, as well as on dedicated real-world tracks in the Vienna Expansion.
Does the Vienna Expansion include the Flexity Vienna automatically?
No. The Vienna Expansion (€49.99) includes tram lines 37 and 38, bus line 35A, and the ULF A and ULF B trams. The Flexity Vienna must be owned via the Expert Edition, the Expert Upgrade Pack, or purchased as a separate vehicle DLC.
What is the difference between Flexity Vienna and Flexity Graz?
The Flexity Vienna is modeled after Vienna's specific fleet configuration with Wiener Linien styling and cab layouts. The Flexity Graz represents Alstom's tram configuration for the Austrian city of Graz and is scheduled for release in Q4 2026 as part of the CTS 2026 Season Pass.
