Ticket selling - how does it work?

[iLikeSheep]

Since the game has no english voiceovers, do you need to understand what the passengers say (in German) to be able to choose which ticket they want? How does the whole thing work?
I know it can be turned off but I'd be much more inclined to buy the game if there was a way to sell tickets without understanding German.

If you go to the Options menu, in the Advanced tab you can find an option called "Show ticket selling and passenger dialog hints". Enable that option, and the game will display ticket selling information on the top left corner of the screen. It will tell you the type of ticket (both in German and English), the cost of the ticket and the amount the passenger handed over.

If you want the authentic experience and not look at the UI, you only really need to remember five phrases:

Tageskarte (Day ticket)
Normal (Normal full-rate ticket)
Kurzstrecke (Short-trip full-rate ticket)
Ermäßigt (Reduced rate ticket)
Kurzstrecke ermäßigt (Short-trip reduced rate ticket)

Depending on the bus, you will have a ticket printing machine with the appropriate keys for each ticket type, or a lineup of tickets where you simply click on the ticket to hand it over to the passenger.

The cost of the ticket is displayed either on the ticket and/or the display of the ticket machine. Compare the ticket cost to the amount the passenger placed on the counter, then give change appropriately. Done.

No problem! OMSI 2 is a bit of a rough diamond,- the engine is outdated and sometimes not very stable; however the depth and quality of the simulation is one of a kind among non-racing land vehicle sims.

Actually iLikeSheep, there are English Voice Packs out there, I know, I had them and sadly lost them, for not backing up, like I should have done, maybe someone will read this and give the links to the English Voice Packs.:)
