(30/01/22 - Happy Birthday Cab Ride! 1 today!)

Drive a train, forever, through a dreamlike land.

Transport passengers to their destination.

Watch the world go by.

Listen to chilled out chiptune music.

In Cab Ride you can drive thousands of different train routes through rolling hills, winding tunnels
and weaving between the tall buildings of vast cities. You can drive the train for as long as you like.
When you're ready to end your journey, hold down the left arrow key to announce the last station.
Stopping at stations along the way means you can pick up and drop off passengers. Try and stop at
the marker at each station for a high rating. Or don't! It's up to you.

Cab Ride is a casual train simulation, not aiming for real world accuracy, but like a real train, it takes
a while to brake. If you're overshooting stations, watch for the alert for the next station and reduce
the throttle so you're ready to stop.

Controls
X - horn/start/restart the game
by Powersaurus
C - open/close doors at station (must have stopped just in front of signal)
Up - increase braking/decrease throttle
Down - accelerate/increase throttle
Left - hold down to announce the last station (will end the current journey)
Right - turn Express mode on/off aka Screensaver Mode

Version history
v1.2

Fixed - memory leak if you run the game for a long time

v1.1

Added - second track with train


Added - Weather - different cloud patterns and periods of rain
More performance fixes

v1.0.3

Changed - tweaked station stop ratings - slightly more forgiving and more consistent
Changed - all green signals when you're in express mode (after first couple of stations)
Fixed - all passengers would eventually get off if you opened the doors enough times at a
single station
Various performance improvements

v1.0.2

Added - pause menu sound toggle - deals with no hardware button in mobile view - may fix in
a different way in future
Added - 'very chilled' mode - no goal/help messages, no HUD other than station name
messages, just driving trains - good for screenshots or screen savers (even better than what I
claimed was a good screen saver mode before)
Fixed - another way to drive through the last station (activate Express mode after announcing
last station)

v1.0.1

Fixed - crash bug where you could drive out of the last station when in 'Express' mode
Changed - you now have to hold down the right key for 2 seconds to enable Express mode
(announcing the last stop also has a 2 second delay) - this is to prevent ending up in that
mode by accident and locking the controls

v1.0
