Description

Transport passengers in the city bus simulation The Bus across multiple lines and in different buses through Berlin. The routes of Germany’s capital have been recreated realistically at a true 1:1 scale and offer plenty of famous landmarks to discover, including the Victory Column, the Brandenburg Gate, and Alexanderplatz. In the Scania Citywide LF and other officially licensed buses, you sell tickets to boarding passengers, handle heavy traffic, and bring everyone safely to their destination while the city around you stays in motion. With changing weather and different seasons, every trip is exciting and challenging. Whether you prefer a relaxed run on schedule or the hustle and bustle of a big city, The Bus brings you as close as possible to the feeling of driving a bus in Berlin.

La conduite de bus est réaliste, ce qui en fait un jeu agréable à jouer. De plus, les mods permettent d'aller encore plus loin dans la création (de véhicules, de peintures...). Je recommande, malgré des défauts

The game itself is extremely good, well developed. However, my PC goes over the recommended specs to run the game, and I still experience extreme lag and an FPS of around 25-30 at all times. This is quite disappointing

Very good! - Best career mode than in any Bus sim. - A bunch of interactable buttons to press - Unique bus designs where one bus might have a bunch of physical buttons and another has some touch screens - Good driving

The optimization is complete poo, which is a shame, as this is a pretty good bus simulation. Bus Bound clears it however, even though it is more arcade. It has better performance, and personally, I see myself having

It would be great to have a stable 60 fps, but unfortunately, the performance is terrible regardless of the hardware. On top of that, the developers list "Performance Optimization" in every changelog, but that is simply
