First details,
Paradox Interactive, a company that's never too proud to ride the bus, is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Cities in Motion 2: The Modern Days for Windows PC and Mac. Building and expanding on the original Cities in Motion transit simulation game, Cities in Motion 2 has a wealth of new features for both first-time digital travelers and regular computer commuters, including the addition of both co-operative and competitive multiplayer modes. The publisher intends to release the game in Q2, 2013, so customers should allow for slowed download traffic during rush hour.

Cities in Motion 2 is a transit simulation strategy game, where players are responsible for creating efficient, effective, and affordable public transportation systems for some of the world's most famous cities. By refining and implementing designs for their transit networks, ambitious urban engineers will guide their cities to growth and prosperity while upgrading and maintaining many different vehicle fleets, from buses to ferries to subways. The new title features:

• Growing, dynamic cities with picturesque day-and-night cycles, which adapt to affordable transit with new housing and commercial development
• More vehicles and design options, including roads with dedicated bus lanes and player-managed timetables for transit systems
• New multiplayer game modes, allowing players to co-design the city of their dreams -- or compete for the renown of their citizens

Main questions:

What about old content, will paid DLCs still work? Will old maps work (converted)?
Do we get an upgrade discount?

This is amazing news! :D

It would be great if maps from CiM 1 work in CiM 2.
As I understood the cities will now be dynamic like other games (TTD, Locomotion, etc). So maybe the old maps won't work. Small issue tho.

With co-op and multiplayer I'm sure the community will grow exponentially. A lot of possibilities.

- Player’s choices affect city growth
- Day and night cycle
- Manage the timetables

Great work Colossal Order!

I hope they hold a poll to decide on some of the cities and vehicles in the game, and make the system more flexible and dynamic as my biggest gripe with the original is the way the modes of transport are mutualy exclusive and don't conect with each other, especialy the "Regional Trains" and "Metro".

This looks great!

Before applying any shiny though, will you please solve the capacity issues as well as the metro level crossings issue?

How about introducing over- and underpasses to let roads cross metro tracks outside inner city areas?

This is a great annoncement! As it seems it will include some key-features the community was looking for such as time tables or bus lanes. And I really hope that the cims will also be a little smarter, e.g. if two lines have the same way and the same destination they use both of them instead of waiting for "their" line.

I dont't mind any compatibility issues with CiM 1 stuff, as long as the feature list is good.

This is really good news. I hope there will be plenty of chances for the community to be involved in the development and to make some suggestions as to the cities used in the new game etc?

I hope the new game will still have the map editor so you can build your own cities as you can at the moment? Since the combination of the map editor along with all the wonderful new things you will no doubt add to CIM 2 will make this a really great game.

I really hope there will be the option of left hand drive vehicles and roads as well as a good system of bus stations and terminals. And please bus lanes and one way streets would be good too especially for the map editor.

The ability to use existing mods and to combine things from both CIM 2 and the original would be a really good idea too.
