Good game overall. The developers are also active which is great to see. You can feel this game has life in it. The maps/roads are extremely up to date as well. Plotting bus routes along the same ones in reality is wildly entertaining and indirectly proves 'i could do it better'.

Hello Bus Enthusiats, Geeks, Nuts, Nerds. Usually i'm not a fan of tycoon type games but CBM really caught my attention when i first heard about it, with over 870 hours playtime on record i must say that i can absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing game to play. Best part is, you can play anywhere in the world!!! from your hometown to your holiday destination and everything inbetween, you choose where and how you play the game, its totally up to you! 10/10 from me! i can't praise the game enough.

Played this game and now understand why my local bus company went bankrupt. Would recommend to others because it feels realistic.

As much as I want to love this game, sometimes I find it hard to do so. If you are a casual player and don't really value a true 1:1 of your real local buses, this game would be great for you as a lot of things seemed to be designed around non-realistic convenience. But if you are more serious about making your bus routes the same or even similar to the real life versions, this game become quite unfun. At a certain size, it turns more in a locker placing simulator than an actual bus simulator as the demand for drivers gets higher and you need to accommodate them with lockers.... WHICH TAKE UP A WHOLE CELL OF BUILDING FOR ONE PERSON TO USE. In one of my previous saves, most of the main depot was specifically allocated to locker rooms because of how demanding it is. Want a simple but route running every 20 or, god forbid, 10 minuets? Get ready to spend most of your money on building 100 lockers for employees. Even if you look past the locker situation, actually designing a realistic timetable can sometimes take up to an hour. Sadly, there is no quick way to import a real timetable into the game, so because of this you have to manually enter each time slot for the busses to run - which if you're doing the timetable for a major city like London would take ages. Add to this, if you want to deselect stops to split the timetable up (and so the bus doesn't do one full loop of the route in the timetable), you have to manually click each stop which can take ages if you are planning a large line. In recent time, a large amount of players have complained about this and have requested a more expedited process, but it is unclear if one will be added next update. Despite having two negative paragraphs, this game still is great on the whole. Imagine Nimby Rails, but better (and for busses...... duh!). Actually creating a route is easy as anything as you just have to click on either an already existing bus stop, or click anywhere on the map to create a new one. This feature means you have infinite possibilities of routes you can make. As well as this, the Steam Workshop has a plethora of busses and reskins that can easily make the game feel more realistic and less grey. Overall, I would say this game is great; it is easy to use and get the hang of, but if you want to have even the slightest of detail, get ready to sink up to an hour of clicking just for one miserly route that probably won't get used
