Bus Simulator

The Bus Simulator series takes the slow lane and makes it a whole vibe. Forget speeding through checkpoints—this is about precision, timing, and running a public transport empire from behind the wheel. Whether you’re dodging traffic in a packed European city or cruising through wide American roads, the game lets you feel the weight (literally) of managing a real bus route.

You’re not just a driver—you’re dispatcher, boss, mechanic, and occasional ticket inspector. Plan your routes, drive fully licensed buses from real brands like Mercedes-Benz, MAN, IVECO, and Scania, and build your company from the ground up. It’s a full sim experience: sell tickets, lower ramps for passengers, deal with weather and traffic, and try not to miss a stop while someone’s blasting music in the back.

Each new entry raised the bar:

Bus Simulator 16 kicked things off with a small-city vibe and classic sim mechanics.

Bus Simulator 18 cranked up the realism with Unreal Engine visuals, mod support, and smoother driving.

Bus Simulator 21 went next-level with electric buses, massive maps, complex AI traffic, and full co-op multiplayer.

And with Next Stop, it all got polished into a seamless sandbox/career blend with deeper systems and a cleaner UI.

If you’ve got a soft spot for chill sims, open-world structure, and the oddly satisfying challenge of running buses on time, this series will hook you hard. Drive solo or build a co-op transport empire with friends—just don’t forget to indicate.
