--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
Complete journeys around the city and its suburbs, strictly following the schedule. Earn money by successfully delivering passengers and following the traffic laws. Complete various scenarios with pre-set conditions or build your own career in Free Mode.
Action takes place in the real cities - Russian Serpukhov and German Cologne.
We took photos of a big part of these cities and their suburbs to recreate buildings and streets as close to real objects as possible. Virtual cities are recreated very in a very accurate way, with every detail preserved. Buildings, bus stops and other objects are situated exactly on their places.
Play as you want! You have freedom of choice.
Choose routes at your look to drive around the city districts you are interested in. It does not matter whether you like high-speed passenger transportation or slow and relaxed driving. If you do not like pre-set schedule, you can customize it for your driving style. Earn money, buy new buses and upgrade them. Decorate your bus as you want. You will definitely like various decorations for each bus.
Car park for any taste.
You have a unique chance to drive buses from different eras and countries. You can drive both old Soviet city buses and European long-distance giants.
Life of the driver – not only on the road.
Do not forget to occasionally refill your bus so you do not have to call the tow truck. Be prepared to spend a lot of your time in one of the garages where you can upgrade your buses and take a rest.
Dynamic time of day change.
We have implemented realistic traffic in our game. Also, passenger flow is simulated depending on the day time. Deliver people to their work in the morning when there are traffic jams, in afternoon, when there are less passengers and cars, and in the evening, when there are almost no one on the streets and lamp posts are illuminating the roads.

This game is exactly what it says in the title. You are a bus driver and you drive a bus, very relaxing experience with a selection of buses to choose from.
In Bus Driver Simulator, you get to drive a bus in one of two cities, one in Russia, one in Germany.
On the plus side, the game really is charming. While its graphics are obviously not made with an AAA budget, they are well-crafter, with a noticeable, loving attention to detail. This is true both for the buses, of which each is modeled after a real-life equivalent, and the cities, with the various neighborhoods being distinct enough.
It's also nice that you can either play "career", driving either pre-made routes or ones you make yourself, setting how long you have to reach each stop and even what time it is, or "scenarios", where all parameters are pre-set and you have to earn a certain amount of money to succeed. (Obviously, you get money from ticket sales but are fined for collisions, arriving too late, departing too early, driving off the road, etc.)
And it really is quite chill, driving around in a big bus.
On the minus side, unfortunately, the game is rather weak, tech-wise, with some serious bugs and lack of foresight possibly ruining your enjoyment. With certain route/bus combinations, you can actually get hopelessly stuck on tree branches hanging onto your lane; it sometimes happens that the game doesn't recognize that you have arrived at the last stop (the rectangle indicating where to park remains green and passengers stand up but don't get off, but if you try to leave the stop, you get the "missed stop" penalty), making the route unable to finish; sometimes, AI cars stop at an intersection as if there was a red light even if there is no traffic light at all...
All in all, I think the game is worth its introductory price, or a similar one, if it gets a discount later on, but not its full price.
Fun driving simulator. Enough routes and bus types to keep you busy for a while. Driving mechanic feels good and is straightforward - can switch between manual and automatic transmissions. Graphics are pretty good for what it is, detailed buildings and variety in the landscape.
Got it on sale for capitalist pig dollars!
When playing this game on linux everything works fine. Except for text displayed on the screen like in the tutorial.
This is probably because the game draws text from windows. And the closed model on linux for the game's "windows" directory doesn't have that text. So text is missing in-game.
If text is added to the game instead of drawing from windows. The game would work flawlessly on linux out of the box. As of now you need to add the text manually on linux.
I love this game. Am a bus driver. If you like simulation and driving a bus this game is for you. You can custom build your own routes and well as select others. Thx GOG!
