Very nice simulation with nice story. Graphics is very good. Definitly recomended.

Dec. 2025

its been nearly 8 years since 2018 and this game is still playable and enjoyable to play. the map is very comforting and nice--its some sort of european town--the gameplay is what you'd expect, and the overall aesthetic is nice. even the dialogue with the passengers, while stupid, does add life to the game. overall, if its on sale and you're looking for a calming game to pass time with (especially with a gaming wheel on hand), this game does the trick. pwreafgjogrujregiujbg5erugreauirugrujgerngra poty

Hey there, to anybody that's interested in playing this game in the current year (2025), I would recommend this game, while old, it's still very fun and entertaining, but there are no where near the amount of buses in Bus Sim 21, said that, I would still pick this game over BS21 since it's actually well optomized! *Shocker*. Apart from that, some of the downsides are that the map extension isn't free, and neither are all of the buses, but they're cheap, so if you want more, go for them! (They're even cheaper on sales). 8.75/10 would recommend.

Solid simulator and quite fun to play even while off-line, for people who love driving or public transport this is the game to get.

Aug. 2025

Game easily finishable, Not crazy breaking bugs like in the bs21. Would be great to see some updates in here too, Instead of making a new game that sucks. Buy this instead of the bs21, or simply buy kebabs that you will enjoy more.
