  • Learn the basics and discover Prague in the new update - 27 September 2026

    Tutorial One of our biggest priorities has been to make it easier for new players to get started and learn the basics of driving. That’s why the new update introduces a tutorial and dynamic instructions to guide you through various situations, even when something goes wrong. During this short introduction, you’ll also meet your new colleague Radek and earn a new achievement for successfully completing the tutorial. We plan to expand the tutorial further in the future. We’ve also added a gradient indicator to give you a clearer picture of uphill and downhill sections. If you prefer to figure things out yourself, you can turn off the new guidance in the settings and play without anyone telling you what to do. Discover Prague Above the stations of Line A, you’ll find many of Prague’s important landmarks and interesting places. With this update, we want to bring a little of that world above…

  • What are we working on? - 23 July 2026

    Hello to all fans of our game! The Depo Hostivař update has been out for some time now, so you may be wondering what comes next. Depot fixes and expansion There is still plenty of room to improve and expand the depot. We will therefore focus on it again in the next update and fix the issues discovered so far. Tutorial We know that our game can initially be a little confusing for some new players. Our current priority is therefore to create a new guidance system that will lead players through the journey and help them deal with any difficult situations they may encounter along the way. This will also introduce a new scoring system. 81-71 variants The 81-71 train deserves more variants. The first one we can now show you is a version that has already seen plenty of service and resembles how these trains looked near the end of their operational life. Back in Service - New Era A modern era,…

  • The Hostivař Depot update is out now! - 25 June 2026

    Hello everyone, the new update for Back in Service is now live! This time, it takes you beyond the regular route — to the Hostivař Depot. For the first time, we are taking the train above ground, where you can enjoy the view of the trainsets under sunlight or moonlight. The update adds a completely new part of the Prague metro, new tracks, a new environment, and the chance to drive through places you normally do not visit while carrying passengers. For now, we see the depot as a new foundation for further development. This is not its final form, and we will gradually return to it in the future — whether through smaller improvements, expansions, or content connected to the new environment. We would love to hear your feedback, and thank you to everyone who supports Back in Service and follows its development. Enjoy the ride!

  • Hostivař Depot is coming next week! - 18 June 2026

    Hello everyone, next week, a new update for Back in Service will arrive, finally taking you beyond the regular route — into the Hostivař Depot. We have been working on this part for quite some time, and we wanted the depot to feel like more than just a background location, but as another important part of the game world. You can look forward to new tracks, a new environment, a day/night atmosphere, and another part of the Prague metro that you will be able to drive through directly from the cab. The update is now in the final stage of preparation. We are finishing the last adjustments and testing routes, lighting, switches, and the overall track behavior to make the result as good as possible. Thank you to everyone who supports Back in Service, sends feedback, and follows the development of the game. Early Access allows us to gradually expand the game, and each update like this moves it…

  • Transport restrictions are here! - 2 May 2026

    🚇 Transport restrictions are here! From today, every ride will be a little different again. Transport restrictions are coming to the game – station closures that change the course of each journey. You can choose a specific closure yourself, or leave it to chance and let yourself be surprised.

  • New Version Is Here! Tickets, please! - 20 March 2026

    Step into the role of a ticket inspector!Our transport company also needs to collect fares — and not every passenger has paid. Some ride honestly, others try to travel without a ticket, or their ticket has already expired.In the new version, you can walk through the entire station and train and check every passenger. Find out who has a valid ticket or pass, and who is riding without one.Each inspection is different. Some passengers pass without issues, others present an invalid ticket… and some will try to run away — it’s up to you whether they succeed!The update also includes bug fixes and minor improvements.With more content coming and the final version approaching, we will be increasing the price of the game soon.Thank you for your support and feedback!

  • Quest update - part 1 - 4 February 2026

  • DEVLOG - DEPOT - 22 December 2025

    Work on the Hostivař depot project is progressing. Most of the required models are finished, and the same goes for the terrain and vegetation. Right now we are focusing on polishing a few details. This includes, for example, more detailed terrain work around the bridge and the tunnel portal, aligning the tracks in the yard, optimizing the vegetation system, and similar tasks. Next up will be connecting the line to Skalka station, implementing the depot features needed for running trainsets, and finishing the switches. The Hostivař depot environment is a large area with plenty of room for future development. Based on community feedback, we have already added a small relaxation and viewing spot with a fire pit and beer bottles under the fictional Sazečské brand. We are excited to see how it turns out. At the same time, we believe this upcoming update will not be the end of work on the dep…

    Thank you all for your patience and support – we’ve just released one of the most anticipated updates! What’s new?

  • New train is coming tomorrow! - 22 May 2025

    The 81-71 metro train became an icon of the Prague underground and an integral part of its history. It was first put into operation on May 1, 1978, on Line C and was gradually introduced on other lines as well, replacing the older EČS type. Over more than three decades, these trains transported millions of passengers and became a symbol of everyday life in the capital. Due to their distinctive appearance, they earned the nickname "black muzzle." The gradual phase-out began in 2003 and was completed on July 2, 2009, when the 81-71 trains made their final regular service run. Although their era has ended, one five-car set has been preserved as a historical unit and occasionally appears during special events. The 81-71 train remains in the memory of many Prague residents as an important part of the city’s public transport history. Our game brings this train back into service — and this tim…

  • What is coming? - 21 February 2025

    Hello to all metro enthusiasts and fans of our game! We've been working on a new version for some time now. Today, we'll show you what you can look forward to! NEW SECTION OF LINE A The long-awaited extension of Line A is almost complete. Take a look at some screenshots from the new version. JIŘÍHO Z PODĚBRAD FLORA ŽELIVSKÉHO NEW NPCs Passengers in the game have undergone a complete overhaul. They now have a much more realistic appearance and greater variety.

The train announcements and rewards for the ride will adjust accordingly. NEW ANN…

  • What are we working on? ROADMAP - 25 January 2025

    The launch of our game on Steam is approaching very quickly. Let’s take a look at what’s ahead and what we’re currently working on. New Stations We’re currently focusing on extending the line to Želivského. All the stations are already modeled and textured. Now we need to do a lot of programming, build tracks, tunnels, turning points, and implement everything into the game. We’ll gradually showcase all the stations. Let’s start with Jiřího z Poděbrad. Hostivař Depot Hostivař Depot will be a big project, so we’re working on it gradually whenever possible. At the moment, we’re focusing on the track layout and track construction. As you can see in the picture, it’s quite a challenge. :-) Procedural Switches While working on the depot track network, we realized we needed to speed up the creation of switches. Until now, we’ve been making each one manually, which is very time-consuming. Our p…

Short description

Join the adventure and become the master of the metro in our game, which takes you into the underground world. Overcome challenges on the tracks from the cabin of a historic train. Can you complete the route, transport all passengers, and avoid delays?

About this game

Join the adventure and become the master of the metro in a fascinating game that takes you into the mysterious underground world of the Prague capital city. Face challenges on the tracks from the cabin of the historic EČS or 81-71 train. Can you complete the entire route, transport all passengers, and avoid any delays? This game is not an ordinary train simulator. Here, you have complete freedom to choose what you want to do. Become a train driver and improve your skills, explore the underground tunnels, or help your colleagues with various tasks. If, as a conductor, you prove yourself by completing your route on time according to the schedule, you’ll earn some money. You can then spend it on various items. More ways to spend your earned money will appear in future versions. Likewise, future versions will bring more stations, trains, and tasks!

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 3, 2026 to Oct 3, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $18.99
  • Highest observed: $18.99

Back in Service: a Metro Driver's USD price history spans from Oct 3, 2026 to Oct 3, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $18.99, the highest is $18.99, and the first visible tracked price is $18.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Back in Service: a Metro Driver's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $18.99, from Oct 3, 2026 through Oct 3, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $18.99. The latest run records $18.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $18.99
  • Current list price: $18.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Back in Service: a Metro Driver at $18.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
