Route Tycoon

ROUTE TYCOON — Build Your Minibus Empire

From a single dolmus in the streets of Istanbul to a global transit dynasty — Route Tycoon is a hand-crafted idle tycoon experience where every tap matters and every decision shapes your empire.

THE JOURNEY

Start as a neighborhood operator running one humble route. Tap to dispatch your minibus, pick up passengers, and earn your first lira. Reinvest, upgrade your bus, hire drivers to keep things rolling while you're away. Then expand: unlock new routes, master your home city, and prepare for the world.

FIVE EPIC CITIES

ISTANBUL — Where it all begins. Mosques, the Bosphorus, the magic of the old city.
PARIS — Eiffel views and elegant boulevards across the Seine.
ROME — Colosseum routes through ancient cobblestones.
TOKYO — Neon lights and bullet-train precision.
NEW YORK — The final frontier. Yellow taxis and skyscrapers.

Each city brings its own architecture, weather, soundtrack, and economic challenges.

A LOVE LETTER TO THE DOLMUS

Route Tycoon is a tribute to Turkey's iconic minibus culture, rebuilt in five cities around the world. Every silhouette, every horn, every license plate, hand-crafted by a single developer at Hest Studios.

No bloat. No paywalls blocking progression. No ads in the middle of your game, just optional rewarded ads for bonuses. Just the pure, satisfying loop of building something from nothing.
