Great and pretty realistic bus sim. This is a pretty good bus simulator. Map is pretty realistic and true to life as its based around the capital of Berlin, Germany. There are 5 routes around Berlin you can do and most took a little bit to do, but since its in early access hope more routes will be added soon. The bus models ranging from Scania, Man and Mercedes Benz, etc are pretty well done also. You can either choose to control the buses arcade style with minimal effort or you can choose like me to do realistic style. Most of the switches and buttons are interactable either through zooming in and clicking or like myself who has a button box with actual physical toggle switches and a wheel, you can do it this way as well & it works seamlessly. Eye and head tracking with my Tobii eye tracker 5 is a welcome and game changing addition for this as well. Enjoying it so far, and hope there is more features and additions to come!

The game is good, but we have exactly the same problems as in Fernbus. 1) AI is a joke 2) The game is poorly optimized 3) You need to reconfigure the steering wheel for each bus 4) Big issues with bugs and glitches I don't mind that it's a beta, but, TML, it's time to test and above all fix the problems of other games before creating others with the same problems :)

I have had the bus since it was first released, with only one line and it didn't have much playbility. I hadn't played for a while, but with the updates i have replayed it. and what a difference . This game has improved a lot and if TML keep developing it, in line with their road map, this will become the best bus sim on the market. the AI traffic is a lot better than fernbus and it seems to work (not getting jammed up like Fern bus). The city does have a lived in feel with litter on the pavements. The passenger movement and modelling is ok, but it would be better if they could have a model for different types of weather. as people standing in the in April with just vest top and shorts looks a little silly. They have allowed mod support for this game and there are already mods on the workshop which i am keen to try out. I really like this and hope that keeps improving, if you like the idea of driving buses then i would really recommend this game . They are adding more lines and i hope they will start to add more cities as well.

Great game, but know what you buy So I've played this game for quite some time now and so far I really enjoyed it. Before you buy it please take in mind that it's a bus simulator and nothing else. You drive a bus, pick up passengers and that's it really. For the next development phase they have economy mode planned, then we should be able to set up our own bus company etc. But for now if you like driving around with busses trough small and narrow streets this is your game. There are quite a few custom maps out already which are really good. I can recommend: [*]https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3032376798 [*]https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3058000661 [*]https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2937121315 So there is a lot to explore right now and with continuous updates I think it's worth the buy. And if you still aren't sure join their Discord, the TML team is very transparent and open about a lot of things so go and ask them.
