Basically, it's a train simulator engine: you feed it scenarios and it regurgitates them as a driveable simulation, it also runs well on weaker hardware. Bve has a gargantuous library of nip lines, from JR Shikoku's Yosan Line to Tokyo Metro's Fukutoshin Line and everything in between, plus some Korean subway. The scenario standard is a completely open format so you can make your own scenarios, plus it's not forced to use a style or a set of models or anything. Authors can be really sloppy and use models from the early 2000's or put a lot of effort like pic related. Bve has been around since Y2k, I genuinely wonder how none of you guys mentioned it.
But for the westerner, there's also OpenBve which, despite the name, is different from Bve. It's more like our western sims where you can look around, look at your train while you're driving it, etc. They got the old Bve base as a starting point but the dev(s) want more out of it. It follows the same principles: openness, authoring freedom and realism. The avaliable scenarios are pretty much NYC MTA, the Tube, and European lines. (but all older Bve routes (pre-ver.5) will work fine too)
