Be Frugal

Be Frugal is a design simulation game about creating bus lines in cities around the world. You place randomly generated road sections between stops to build routes, using limited resources to carry passengers to their destinations.

Cities and roads

You can create bus lines in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussel, Istanbul, London, New York, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo and Venice. The cities can be seen at night, when lights illuminate the roads and make it easier to plan new lines.

You can arrange roads in different styles using the random paths and your own designs. Build junctions, bridges, shortcuts and ring roads to use fewer resources and get more results.

Plan your routes

Keep bus lines from becoming too long by creating additional routes. Use the limited resources efficiently and make good use of the random road sections to carry more passengers to the stops they want.
