60 of 127 · most liked firstI had fun for 7 hours, but ultimately, pedestrians basically try to jump under your bus, cars ram you from the side when you have right of way and you get charged for it, ambulances crash into you when you're doing a bus stop. Cars randomly slow down and stop for no perceivable reason. Half of all the busses in the game are DLC. The game is laggy, janky, and first person is basically unplayable. It can be fun for a few hours, but it is definitely a bad game. And it's overpriced for the length…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has terrible wheel support
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well... what should i start with about this game.... its not euro truck sim 2 thats for sure... but its still fun enough to play. In many ways it is not like euro truck sim 2... such as the fact that you cant simply go out for a drive without being on a route. the buses also do not drive as well as the trucks in euro truck sim 2... they are pretty janky when taking corners. There is no damage system but you still have to pay for any repairs after the route ends. There should be a save…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh my god! You hit someone! [small pause] Puh, lucky you! There seems to be no injuries... You have to be more careful! These things could end very badly. Now... let's continue
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Almost as fun as masturbating with sandpaper...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This might just be a me problem. Or a game bug. This is the only mac compatible bus sim out there. On my mac, 2020 m1, it dosent go full screen. It just hangs and i have to force quit. Thus got a refund. Dont recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Where to start. Firstly i love travelling games because im a traveller myself. Secondly the only thing that is not making the game 100% is the key binding on the keyboard and/or game controller, it would be nice if you could multi use the keys on different sections say for example use the enter key when your moving around to open the bus and then when your sat down on the bus you could use the enter key to start the bus instead of using nearly every button on the keyboard, but apart from that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →doesn't work, the trailer is so promising but the game doesn't even launch, requested the refund!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally I can live out my dream of being a bus driver in public transport and enjoy being constantly late, ignoring passengers, swearing at traffic, swearing at stupid people, swearing at suicidal pedestrians, swearing at people who pay for a 1 Euro ticket with a 20 Euro bill and destroying public property, all while driving like an absolute lunatic. Also I now have a burning hatred towards disabled people. Jokes aside, this game is kinda buggy and it has issues, the content isn't that deep…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good production for its time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Needs more buses
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mac Version is very poor version. The developer clearly has not put much time into debugging the mac version. In game controls, specifically the steering controls do not work at all. It does work fine when running on a Windows computer. Mac Users should skip it entirely.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bus Simulator... man fährt halt Bus xD. Ich glaube, dass es mehr spaß macht, wenn man es wirklich mit einem Lenkrad spielt, von mir aus auch Controller auf auf Maus und Tastatur nicht. Vorallem nicht diesen Teil. Er ist einfach alt und das sieht man auch sehr, anhand der Grafik. Wenn ihr Bus Simulator spielen wollt, dann die neuen. Ich will damit nicht sagen, dass das Spiel schlecht ist sondern eher... alt. Es ist okay, heutzutage aber einfach nicht mehr gut.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →How good just it is Npc cars: crash into me What do i do? Get out and show who the boss is negative in game money 10 outa 10 peak sht.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would recommend this game if you want a C-to-D tier simulator game. It's not quite E or F but it's far from B. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend this and instead suggest you buy a newer, more refined sim that is still being worked on and doesn't give 2010s German sim vibes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I usually find buses a little rude but this game gave me some life coaching.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I mean, its alright yk if your a kid wanting a cheap game thats still kinda good even though its at least 8 years old. For the price its at I would say its worth it tbh.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game if you use a controller to steer, accelerate and break the bus and use the mouse for everything else (opening and closing doors, activating radio, using the register, etc). The game is very janky and can be buggy sometimes but its only 3 squids for the base game and all DLC (gold edition). The game does work and it haven't crashed yet. The graphics are mediocre and the sounds are acceptable. But it is kinda fun. Give it a try you want to drive a bus while you listen to podcasts or…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its a good bus game for its age
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →o ho ho this game is a miracle, worse than bus sim 21 but you see this game was made in 2016 or 2015 or whatever it was, back in the day this was a goated game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well hard to explain this one... I love the bus sims, and most sim games. Been playing them for a few months now, From 21 to this one, and their all great games. I don't mind the game itself, Its the Controls that's hard to do, KB and Mouse are good, but I always use a controller and its sometimes a pain to to use, as it doesn't work as intended. Wish there was something to fix this part, or it would been a great game. It still is to me, just not happy with the controls ,that's my only…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bus Simulator 16, developed by Stillalive Studios and published by Astragon Entertainment, is a city-driving simulation that attempts to combine the everyday realism of public transportation with the broader management aspects of running a municipal bus company. It follows the familiar structure of simulation games where you start small and work your way up, but instead of racing or construction, the focus here is on punctuality, passenger satisfaction, and operating efficiency. The player…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short and simple review: A decent bus simulator with all the basic features. Could be fun but there's one major issue: Pedestrians crossings streets out of nowhere and out of your field of sight. Terminated several tours for me and ultimately killed any fun! Never again, this is nonsense!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →platform has incomplet potential
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's Good game but the controls in gamepad are buggy and most of them doesn't work perfectly
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is quite boring compared to other games that are cheaper.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My sister bought this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rubbish game - multiplayer does not work says connection error every time even though there is no connection error, waste of time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Multiplayer isn't real multiplayer + the game nearly crashes my PC when it starts.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →is a good bus game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it was fun but it is not the sort of game i fort it was like bus sim 18
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are playing a that you bought and after 20 minutes of play time you want to return it... that's not a good sign. To be fair this game is now 6 years old, so I wasn't expecting great performance/support or graphics. (Support for Windows 11, and yes, I installed it) At first look, it doesn't seem bad or even outdated. The tutorial ran decently well I was able to get the hang of some controls and thought maybe i can give this game a chance. So I loaded up the first mission, got to the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is good for it age
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Both physics and graphics are terrible. Graphics look bad even when ultra settings are applied. I'm extremely disappointed with this game, because it feels bad even for the year it was released.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love simulation games and I love this game, when it let me play it. It was like Russian roulette whether it would crash at the publisher screen, the splash screen, at the map or would let me play. My specs aren't great but to be told, when it did load, that my graphics card was below the required level seems strange for a game that's 10-years old (the RTX3050 I have was released in 2021). I did try the performance branch, but I ended up going back to the original version and lowering…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Horrible game doesnot seem to work with steerinng wheel or controller
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Peak entertaintment also arriva keeps scamming me
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very good game even if its old xdddddd
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game but the wheel support is terrible.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cartoonish game for basic Steering wheels. Its good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's not to bad it slow to make the money back of what you spend at first, but other then that it's pretty good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a good driving game, with good graphics. The release of a map editor in a future update would increase game playability.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun bus simulator game if you are into simulators. I like it and have moved on
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game I would recommend it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not lagging for me i like it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awful, incompatible with steering wheels. FFB does not work!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I havent made money a single time but some random people on the internet have made money for me for 10 bucks it is alright
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nothing special but this game its good and half not as good as the next stop 21 this game is bit old and idk if its worth the price that purchase the game and also the controls are bit rough to drive idk if its my mouse problem or something but still this game is half good and half not good so i will rate it as 3 stars 3 stars plus 3 stars equals 6 stars this game deserve 6 stars cause its my first impression
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are looking to play Bus Simulator 16 in 2025 go touch grass.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2025. A great bus game. The inside camera is annoying when it keeps resetting its self in the down position wish you could turn this off in the options. and i am using the performance update which does seem better.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple and nice little details
