Trafic Iași: a strategy game on the real map of the city

You are the new mayor of Iași, Romania. You have a budget, 38 bus and tram lines and a rush hour that will not wait. Can you get the city moving without losing your job?

How to play

1. Find the jams. The map shows, hour by hour, where traffic is stuck and which streets are worst.
2. Make the call. Add lanes, close streets, change junctions, parking and bus frequency.
3. Press “See the effect”. Drivers pick other routes or other ways to travel, and the city plays out its whole day.
4. Let the months pass. The budget rises or falls, and popularity grows only if people really get where they need to go faster.

What you can change

• Streets: extra lanes, bus lanes and bike lanes, in one direction or both.
• Public transport: ticket price, frequency, new lines, park and ride.
• Junctions: signals, roundabouts, priority.
• Parking and fines: prices, inspectors, autonomous scan cars, a city entry charge.
• Polluting cars: bans on diesel or older Euro classes, in the centre or citywide.

Popularity by neighbourhood

Copou, Tătărași, Nicolina, Păcurari, Alexandru cel Bun, Dacia, Galata, Bucium and the rest: 30 neighbourhoods, each with its own popularity. Dearer central parking is felt in the centre, and a widened street is felt by the people who live on it.

What is real and what is game

The street network comes from OpenStreetMap and the lines from public transport timetables. The diesel share, 50.33% in Iași county, comes from official 2025 registration data.

Traffic volumes, people's reactions, popularity and costs are estimates and game rules. It is a game, not a forecast.
