Subscription exclusive routes represent the highest consistent point yield in Croydon London Bus Simulator for Pro subscribers. Tram Replacement (TR) and Rail Replacement (RR) services guarantee 3-15 passengers at every stop regardless of time of day — a massive advantage over standard routes that depend on rush hour timing and suffer 4-passenger caps on private servers.

|---|---|---|
| TR1 | Elmers End | West Croydon (via Sandilands) |

Grinding Strategy
Run TR or RR routes on repeat with QuickBoard enabled (included in Pro). Trams earn 15-20 points per stop — see our bus vs tram comparison video. Buses on replacement routes still benefit from guaranteed passenger floors. Stack with shift bonuses when replacement routes are selected as the hourly shift.
Pro Requirements
Active Croydon Pro unlocks these routes plus Simulation Server access, private server shift control, and Pro Pack buses. Full feature comparison on our Plus vs Pro page and value analysis on is Pro worth it. Pro costs £4.99/month on web/desktop or £6.99 on mobile platforms.
Tram Access Note
Tram driving requires Pro route access and a purchased tram vehicle. Tram purchases with points have been periodically blocked — verify current availability in-game. Bus replacement routes (RR series) remain fully functional without tram ownership.
