But not all passengers are nice… some will leave litter on your bus and others will try and ride without a valid ticket. There are some passengers in wheelchairs for whom you will need to lower the ramp to enable them to enter and exit the bus which is a nice little touch of inclusivity. As your company grows you are given access to new buses, new superficial enhancements (decoration options for your bus) and new areas to add to your bus routes.īeing full of passengers rather than cargo also gives the game a chance to have some banter between commuters and though it does get repetitive there are some “dad joke” style laughs to be had with some of the conversations. You are offered incentives to create and drive certain routes and perform other goals to expand your empire. From here it’s up to you to expand your burgeoning public transport empire.
You are accompanied by Mira Tannhauser who acts as the tutorial for the game, she informs you that you are the first driver hired to revitalize the cities public transport and she guides you through your first bus route and the ins and outs of the job right down to how to start the bus and give change for fares. You begin with a single bus and driving a simple route. As a bus driver you aren’t limited to just going from point A to point B… you can run the gamut of the whole alphabet… in fact you’d do well to have more than one bus stop on your route or you won’t make much money at all. Taking a similar mechanic, go from point A to point B and adhere to road rules it’s a similar experience but with a few differences. If driving a truck, hauling freight isn’t quite your thing but you’d like to be on the roads… maybe Bus Simulator is more up your alley.
