The Engine Behind the Experience.

SimBus isn't just a game; it's a fully simulated micro-economy. From raw material extraction to complex contract law, everything runs in real-time.

The Value Chain

Students aren't just assigned roles; they manage entire business functions. No single team can succeed alone—they must trade to survive.

1. Source & Extract

Secure raw resources through two channels: invest in Raw Material Sites (Mines, Farms, etc.) for base-cost collection, or purchase instantly from the Material Shop.

Key Decision

"Invest heavy capital in sites for long-term margins, or preserve cash with just-in-time shop purchasing?"

2. Design & Build

Factories transform materials into goods using custom Recipes. Higher Technology Levels increase the Cost Index (CI), creating premium products.

Key Decision

"Mass-produce simple, low-cost items, or upgrade facilities for complex, high-tech luxury goods?"

3. Sell to Market

Choose your revenue stream: Distribution Centers for stable B2B institutional contracts, or E-Commerce for high-stakes B2C marketing campaigns.

Key Decision

"Lock in guaranteed B2B bulk orders, or risk capital on B2C demand multipliers?"

Deeper Than Just “Buying Low & Selling High”

SimBus introduces complex variables that force students to think critically about ethics, law, and sustainability.

Sustainability System (CO2)

Every production action consumes Carbon Quotas. Teams must balance profit against their environmental impact limit.

Binding Contracts

Teams can draft custom contracts for loans, joint ventures, or profit splits. If breached, the instructor acts as Arbitrator.

Flexible Sales Strategy

Sell bulk to other student teams (B2B) or pitch original products to the market (B2C). Students choose their path and tailor marketing accordingly.

Tech Tree Progression

Companies aren't static. Reinvest profits to upgrade factories (Level 1-4), unlocking superior efficiency and exclusive products.
