Fun bus driving simulator

If you’ve ever dreamed about taking control of your very own bus, then check out Bus Driver.

Bus Driver is a surprisingly fun simulator where your job is to transport passengers around an urban environment. Your mission is to stick to a timetable while obeying traffic rules and making sure you don’t upset or injure passengers. Bus Driver is supposed to be all about realism however – there’s no game as such, although there are five different levels of ability and you get bonuses for obeying rules of the road and sticking to your timetable etc.

There are five buses to drive in a huge city environment with various districts, 30 routes, and varying weather conditions set at differing times of day. There are different bus types such as school bus, tourist bus, sight-seeing tour bus and even a prisoner transportation bus. The entire driving environment is made even more realistic courtesy of an AI system which ‘learns’ from your driving habits.

The vector graphics are a bit blocky and basic and the gameplay can get quite dull at times but for anyone who is a fan buses or just driving sims in general, Bus Driver is a lot of fun.
