Guess what OMSI fans? A new US based map called Saratoga County has just been released! What is Saratoga County? Well let’s find out!

Saratoga County is a fictional county, loosely based on a combination of Tompkins County, and Buffalo, New York. Much like the map Cayuga USA, Saratoga County takes place in a fictional state. This state is called Seneca, which is based in New York.

Saratoga Routes

The routes in Saratoga County will mostly come from downtown Saratoga and operate either within Saratoga or to the outskirts. This operations style is similar to that of Tompkins TCAT. The first route introduced to the map is route 15, which operates from Saratoga Downtown to South Saratoga, with service to the Southwest Plaza. The second route that will be introduced will be the short deadhead route 17, which operates from Downtown Saratoga to the bus depot. This route will come in a future release.

Development of Saratoga County

Surprisingly, this wasn’t the first time such a map was thought of. Saratoga County was built off of the concept of a map known as Southside Ithaca, which was initially meant to be released in 2018. This map was canceled due to the loss of vital data needed to work on the map. This new Saratoga map uses the same roadmap (within terms of splines and junction), but with completely new scenery (mostly trees still). The first version of the map was made on a 24-hour binge, as mentioned in the discord server.

Routes and IBIS Codes

Below is a table depicting all the routes, and their respective IBIS codes. This list will be updated as new routes releases.

About the author: Dash Verified icon 1

I have been with Virtual Transit Center since it's conception as the "Dash Forums" back in 2008. Since then, I have been writing and doing YouTube side by side, focusing both on Transportation and Gaming. Most of my knowledge comes from SEPTA as I lived in Philadelphia for most of my life. As of 2021, I am on YouTube as DashTransit, Dash5155, and TheDashOfficial.

As for the name DashTransit itself, it actually stems from my YouTube channel.

DashTransit was originally called "njt5329" and the channel was just clips of buses. Mostly SEPTA and NJT. A Fujifilm Finepix was used in this era.

Starting in July 2011, the Canon SX130IS camera became the camera of the channel, bringing HD documentary-style videos much like my buddy (trainman1971) did for DVD for many years past. This is when the channel became known as "Transit Action Series"

In May 2012, the original Canon SX130IS retired, and then all videos were recorded off a mobile phone until eventually uploaded proved too difficult due to hardships IRL

Starting in 2017, I used a Canon SX200IS from Bastranz to reboot the channel that otherwise was dead for a whole year prior.

Between April 19th, 2019, and January 21st, 2021, all videos were recorded by a Canon SX710 HS camera. The channel was renamed DashTransit 4/19/19.
