Transport Tycoon itself is 30 this year (and Deluxe next year).
OpenTTD is a great project - it's kept one of the great games from the 90s alive and kicking.
24Easily one of my favorite games ever. It's such a good way to relax.
19OpenTTD rocks
17I never played TTD. Does OpenTTD have a tutorial? Couldn't find out how to play last time I tried.
8This is a decent 25min tutorial video (youtube) for getting started with OpenTTD.
5Play with the settings before you start, if I want a relaxed play around, I'll set competitors to zero, breakdowns to never and stuff.
Then I'll find a nice area with a few towns close by and connect them with roads. Then I put bus stops in the centre of the towns, the ones you put on a road. Between the towns, I put a depot and buy a bus. Then you have to tell the bus to go to each bus stop, and send it on its way.
Then I have a basic income, and I look for industry and resources to truck around. Later I play with trains and ships and airports and supply chains and stuff. But I keep the busses going.
3If you want early cash, the best way is to connect coal. It's literally just an A-B train, and you rake in the cash. It's much more lucrative per dollar spent, which let's you focus on whatever else you want to do, like buses, planes, etc.

Tutorial: or everything into airports and long-distance routes, you'll make more money than you can spend. 🤷 At least, that's how it was when I stopped playing it.
