The Pitch

Pendla is a one-button braking game where you drive real Stockholm transit routes. The bus drives itself — you control the brakes. Stop smoothly at every station, keep your passengers happy, and climb the weekly leaderboard. 550 real routes across buses, metro, trams, commuter trains, and ferries, with live Stockholm weather affecting gameplay.

Think Wordle meets transit simulator. Daily challenges, streak counters, challenge links to compete with friends, and a receipt-style score screen with hilarious passenger reviews that players screenshot and share.
