It’s rated 4+ and currently has 46+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Bus Simulator Stand Out
Take the driver’s seat as you transport passengers around a lively city in officially licensed buses from famous manufacturers: Alexander Dennis, Blue Bird, BYD, IVECO BUS, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Scania, Setra, Volvo, and Vicinity Motor Corp. Drive routes and complete campaign missions to unlock even more buses, districts, and routes. Climb the career ladder and build a public transport network for your city.
YOUR BUS. YOUR CITY. IN YOUR HANDS.
10 ORIGINAL BUSES FROM WORLD FAMOUS MANUFACTURERS
Original, licensed buses are waiting for you! Drive 10 buses from 10 world-renowned manufacturers – from electric buses to articulated or double decker buses. Featuring manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, IVECO BUS, and BYD, there is plenty of variety of buses. With detailed cockpits, you can take the driver’s seat and experience real bus driving immersion while driving YOUR BUS.
TRANSPORT PEOPLE AROUND A LIVELY CITY
Explore the game's very detailed and lively map! The city of Havensburg is inspired by cities in northern Europe and offers you a variety of eye-catching buildings and landscapes, including the harbor warehouse district, harbor, old town, and surrounding countryside.
In such a vibrant city, people want to get around and drink coffee with friends in the old town district or visit the harbor with their family. Transporting passengers never gets boring – and perhaps they'll even share some stories with you. Now it’s your job to connect the people of YOUR CITY.
MANAGE YOUR TRANSPORT COMPANY
Prove your driving skills: Make it to the top and build a successful bus transport company. Progressing through the campaign unlocks even more buses, districts, and routes. Build out your transport network by driving routes to earn more Credits, purchasing more buses, and assigning more and more buses to your routes. The success of the company is IN YOUR HANDS!
This Casual game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We really love this game but it needs more updates.
We downloaded this game and we really do love this game. Graphics are great good realization for what a real bus game would be like all the problem is we did try to make an in app purchase and the purchase was not received. We tried to see if we can get a refund, but it says that its not eligible for a refund so we spent money and it didnt even work so thats the only really frustrating part about this. But otherwise its a really fun game definitely recommend.
Played one time and now when we go to open the game it just sits at a black screen, steering controls are awkward and still over sensitive.
Bruh the game should put the driving wheel like how we turn it in the real world and that whats the most garbage wheel we saw In our life better fix it.
Please ad a photo mode where we can take good screenshots of our buses in the beautiful map.
Good game we wish yall would add tilt steering.
NEEDS STEERING WHEEL AND BUTTONS LOVE THE GAME THOUGH.
This is really a good game, we like it a lots, once we really got into the game its really good, keep up the good work.
We love the graphics it please add a high graphics. There should also be buttons for left and right. The passenger shouldnt just teleport to the seats when entering, they should walk to the seat and then sit down. When the passengers leave, they should walk as far as possible then hide them. We love it though.
Since the update, we keep losing progress.
We would really love it so we could play in our IPad, Hopefully if comes in the future if not we just wasted our money.
In our opinion is ok but the graph and the red light does even realistic and also the car is only a little.
In our opinion is ok but the graph and the red light doesnt even realistic and also the car is only a little and not like the video that they show. Fake game.

Be the best if there were rain added to it or snow also please thank about it.
So good by far best bus simulator ever and a question on construction simulator 2 can you add interior view? Thanks.
The game is good but there are some things its missing for example lack of controls and mirrors and the driving dynamics are not so good.
