Work shift
Pick how long you want to drive and when. Omsi-Hub builds a shift from the timetable's real trips, and changes line where lines meet.
Four ways to drive
How do you want to drive today?
The question the app asks every time you open it. Each answer starts from the real timetable of the map you pick.
Tour
Drive one bus's trips on one line, the way OMSI's timetable plans them. Pick the line, the tour and the first trip.
Free drive
Just a map and a bus. Traffic and the timetable's buses run around you, and nothing is booked.
Bus company
Your own transport company. Buy, lease or rent buses, hire drivers and run your lines day by day.
All about the bus company →Work shift · How it works
- Pick a map and a day.
- Set how long you want to drive (30 minutes to 8 hours) and the time of day.
- Omsi-Hub puts shifts together from the timetable's real trips, on with another line where lines meet. Open one to see its trips and breaks, or draw new ones.
- Pick a bus. It stands ready a few minutes before the first departure.
What you get Hours, kilometres, punctuality, tickets and XP go into your service record.
Tour · How it works
- Pick a line: one of the map's, or one you drew in the line editor.
- Pick a tour. The tours that run on your day come first.
- Click the trip to start at, or let the start time pick the trip under way.
- Pick a bus and drive the tour as OMSI's timetable plans it.
What you get It counts in your service record like any duty: hours, kilometres, punctuality and XP.
Free drive · How it works
- Pick where to start: a terminus, a stop or an entry point, or click an orange mark on the map.
- Want a line on the destination display? Choose a line and a route: the navigator and the IBIS know it.
- Pick the day, the weather and a bus.
- Drive. Traffic and the timetable's buses run around you, and nothing is booked.
What you get No timetable to keep, and the kilometres still go into your service record.
Bus company · How it works
- Found it: a name, its colours, a home map with a depot, and a game mode: Casual, Normal or Realistic.
- Buy, lease or rent buses, hire drivers, and win lines in tenders or draw your own.
- Plan the days in the planner, or with RosterFlow in Normal and Realistic.
- Drive your own duties from My duties. At the close of the day your trips count with their fares, the rest is worked out for you.
What you get Money, a fleet that wears, staff and a company level that grows with you.
Career
Every duty counts.

Phone and tablet
Sign on, open the duty menu and use the bus's screens on a phone or tablet in your own network.
Create
Built to create, too.
Omsi-Hub is made for building as much as for driving. Draw your own lines over the map's roads, write the timetable, set up the destination displays and paint your buses, all inside the app. Your OMSI 2 folder stays untouched.
- A line you draw is one you drive, and the timetable's buses drive it too
- In your bus company, your lines earn money and your liveries are your brand
- Every editor opens from the start page, on the map you choose
Online
Better with friends. Fine without.

Drive together

Cloud saves
Keep two companies in the cloud and carry on from any PC you sign in on. Local saves stay unlimited.
The leaderboard
Show your service record to everyone, if you want to. You switch it on, and you can switch it off.

Questions
Before you go.
Is Omsi-Hub finished?
Not yet. Omsi-Hub is in beta: it works, but expect bugs, missing pieces and changes between versions. The roadmap shows what is still coming.
Do I need OMSI 2?
Yes. Omsi-Hub runs on openOMSI, which plays the maps, buses and mods of an installed OMSI 2 (Steam or retail). It brings no game content of its own.
Does Omsi-Hub replace openOMSI?
No. Omsi-Hub is an add-on for openOMSI: it builds on the openOMSI you already have and uses its plugin API. You keep openOMSI, and Omsi-Hub adds the duties, the company, the career and the online features to it.
Which openOMSI version do I need?
openOMSI 0.2.22 or newer; we recommend the latest release. Older versions are refused. Some extras need a newer openOMSI plugin API than the official releases have yet; the launcher shows which ones your openOMSI supports.
Does it change my openOMSI or OMSI 2 installation?
No. Omsi-Hub keeps its own data and doesn't change the files of openOMSI or OMSI 2. Mods you add go into Omsi-Hub's own folder.
Is it free?
Yes. Download it, play it, no payment and no subscription.
Do I need an account?
No. Everything works offline on your own PC. An account only adds the online parts: friends, playing together, cloud saves and the leaderboard.
How do I get on the leaderboard?
Sign in to your Omsi-Hub account in the app and switch on "Show me on the leaderboard". Your display name and service record appear here. Switch it off and you are gone from the board at once.
How do updates work?
When a new version is out, the app asks at the start and, with your yes, downloads it and restarts.
