  • Summary: In Bus Driver, your job is to transport passengers around an attractive and realistic city. You must drive to a timetable on a planned route, while obeying traffic rules, and taking care not to upset or injure your passengers. This makes Bus Driver unlike any other driving game - the experience of driving a bus is very different from blazing through a racing circuit. 12 buses to drive – detailed models inspired by real-world buses, including London’s double-decker bus, America’s school bus, Europe’s low floor buses and many more. 30 routes arranged into 5 tiers with increasing difficulty. Multiple duties, such as driving a school bus, transporting tourists, sight-seeing tours and even the transportation of prisoners. High replay value based on sophisticated system of traffic rules and game-play related bonuses. Large city to drive in, with several districts of varying styles: modern, old-town, suburb, airport, harbor and more with day/night cycles and realistic weather conditions. Living roads with intelligent traffic controlled by AI system. [Meridian4] Expand

  1. It’s great fun in a non-traditional game setting where you actually feel good about obeying traffic laws and driving safe, rather than running from the police and driving like a madman.
  2. All in all I didn't have too many complaints about Bus Driver. It's a simple casual game, but it does what it sets out to do well.
  3. Bus Driver is easy to learn, but will be quickly mastered. It may not have a lot of replay appeal for adults, but younger drivers will probably enjoy it.
  4. Getting from point A to point B doesn't get any more wearisome. [Aug 2008, p.74]

    Not really my kind of game, but my dad was a bus driver so I had to try it out. It was a little hard to brake initially but eventually got smoother. No pressure, a nice change from all the violence I am used to on my PC! I would highly recommend, nice stress-free environment. Expand
  2. The graphics are simple. This game was so educating for those who wants to be a good driver. There are many kinds of traffic signs, all of it. You only have to show your skills in this driving bus. Expand
