There are also options for Student, Regular or Senior tickets. Some passengers will ask to buy a single, day or week ticket. One of our favourite features was the ticket machine. You can pick up dirt, tell a guy to stop blocking the door, or engage the wheelchair ramp. You can tell that the developer wanted to give as much interaction with the characters as possible. You can also stand up and leave the bus, or head to a passenger and tell them to switch their music off. It gives you the realistic feeling of being a bus driver. The part we really enjoyed was that you can look at buttons and knobs inside the bus and press them. There’s also a radial wheel for extra tools.

You can access the most important functions through the buttons and triggers. When it comes to discussing the gameplay in our Bus Simulator review, we’re impressed with how the controls handle. You can join others as you plan bus routes and battle for the top company. However, you’re more than welcome to access it on the PC. The sad part is, you need PS Plus membership to access it on the PS4. You can level up your character, as well as each of the bus stations.

Make the mayor and stakeholders happy, and you’ll unlock some extra goodies. The main purpose of the simulation game is to unlock all routes, buy all buses and create a massive bus empire. While you drive your route, your employees will perform their routes. This feature gives you the opportunity to hire a driver. Only one small area is available at this point, but as you play further through the story, you unlock more locations.Įventually, you’ll earn enough to buy another bus. There is a short tutorial, which forms the basis of the first missions. Once you’ve set everything up, you’re ready to roll. You can give your business any name and also customise your avatar. This simulation game sets you on a journey of owning your own bus company.
