60 of 157 · most liked firstOverpriced, under developed, unoptimised, boring. Just your standard steaming pile of TML rubbish then! For £27 I could buy the worst curry in the world, p**p out a better game and have enough change left to buy some of that fancy wet toilet paper.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've given up. I tried, I really did. It could be a really good game if the devs could be bothered to fix the bugs. Unfortunately, that seems unlikely.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been wanted to buy this game for so long, just to be disappointed with this garbage, i didn't expect it to be this BAD come on i should've believe the reviews before buying it. Some of the problems i had: 1- Controls: the controls are so much buggy, like why the heck does it stop randomly in the middle of the road? 2- Graphics: i've put and tried to put graphic into VERY LOW, it's not optimized at all, i've run F1 24 in Medium graphics and does not lag like this game 3- Sound: It's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game optimization is bad and spend a lot to buy base game just only one Bus able to drive
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really buggy, needs a lot of work, but the dev team have moved on. A pity really, it was a fun game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why Why Why SO MANY negative reviews? This is the best bus sim ever. I was delayed buying it because of the bad reviews but so glad I did. Lots of corners and hills. A well designed business model. Employees, additional things like shopping for supplies, repairs, spare parts and breakdowns. Lots of graphic adjustments. (so many people say the graphics are stuttering or causing crashing). Yes its got some serious scenery but its also got a lot of ability to scale the graphics down. (people have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a lot of potential, but poor optimization and numerous bugs hold it back.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i really loved the idea of this game but TML are just terrible at making games that run well, poor graphics poor physics and terrible optimisation, for starters, they seem to get games out there and abandon them
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It wants me to buy my first second-hand bus, but there's none available. And the new busses are way too expensive. It is very broken!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so outdated, awful physics too
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are looking for most realistic bus simulator... it is not the one. Honestly there is still only one game that can be somewhat justifiably nominated as "simulator" out there and it is OMSI2 (yeah that`s old, but gold!). Other modern bus titles are just fun pretty driving games with various twists for different tastes (Bus Sim 21, Fernbus, The Bus). Tourist Bus Sim here is fun and entertaining game with nice setting, relaxing driving, enough choices of various buses via dlcs and quite…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →advised not to purchase any Aerosoft games in the future
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no update since 2020 hmm that is so crappy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very badly optimised waste of money
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DONT BUY THIS GAME! The revievs and pictures of it seems really good but trust me, its not. This game is really expensive for the things you get. I bought the VDL futura doubledecker for like 15€ and the game for 30€ and i regreet it so much. The motor sounds are awfull and the terrain is really unrealistic and ugly. Also the cameraangle sucks becouse its too close and you cant change it corectly. Even the bus game is better than this. There are no updates and the busses gravity and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →bad game at all everything is bad from voices to the most importnant part like driving have logitech g23 with shifter but this game works without manual gear box i return this crappy game

At first glance, this game looks nice and feels kinda decent… but once you get into it, the value just isn’t there. You only get one free vehicle, plus a free minibus DLC, and that’s basically it. Every other bus or route you want? Locked behind expensive DLCs. We’re talking HKD…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible game and don't listen to the spec requirement it is totally misleading. You'll need an latest hardware to runs this smooth. it is still an unpolished game. Even if you get 2'000fps by the plane landing you'll still see the stutter in them. Wil not buy from TML again
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just a bug ridden un-optimised disaster of a title, same for Fernbus. AI will gladly crash or turn into you, refuel at stations has a bug that if you accidentally click the refuel button *after* it's refuelled. That's the game stuck. You cannot get out of it and have to close it. I waited until i had built a brand new rig (note: i *built* it with 30 odd years of experience) and it runs terrible. UE is a joke with this and Fernbus. AS of now with the upgrade to the newest UE it crashes…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're a ETS2 Player then don't install this.... The graphics are not so good.. Not worth for its price
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is just a cash grab with barely any incentive to grind. The only thing to grind to is houses. With a few hours of playing you can buy a lot. No other maps other than base map. AI don't know they have right of way a majority of the time and sometimes they just cause a traffic jam in some locations. No local music to the area which is a turn off. If anything you can just have the "fleet" make all the money you need. You won't ever find any coach bus ai's. I made the unfortunate decision to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →NPC : So in my opinion this game had much potential for the devs to add, but for now i say that the devs really need to fix their AI system. I played TML studios games since they release the title " BUS AND CABLE CAR SIMULATOR" many years ago and in my opinion this TOURIST BUS SIM game has the worst AI system, they don't stop sometimes when you pass them and they tend to crash on you, another thing about the AI is when i stop at the bus stop they also stop and waiting for you to drive even if…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game had so much potential. Sadly it is abandoned by th devs now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this game and i love Bus Simulations but this game is in my opinion ♥♥♥♥. Müsst ihr wissen.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tourist Bus Simulator has a lot going for it. The core concept is solid, and the buses themselves handle surprisingly well — the steering feels weighty and realistic, which adds to the immersion when you're driving the main vehicles. However, the same can't be said for the cars. The steering on smaller vehicles is floaty, overly sensitive, and generally not enjoyable to drive. It feels like a completely different system that hasn't received the same level of attention as the buses. Tweaking…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Should've believed the reviews before buying. It's buggy and more irritating than I thought. - Who came up with the brilliant idea that you need to get the free DLC from the store to even finish the tutorial instead of just including it in the base game? - When you arrive at stops to let your passengers out, they don't wait. They will get up and walk straight through the doors before you've even pressed the door button. - AI cars pile up in intersections or roundabouts, making you indefinitely…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is all DLC, dont recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →litraly got stuck under the MAP and i was doing so well game developers please fix all glithes
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you ever been on holiday with a bus transfer to the hotel resort, you know this game hits the spot! Holiday feeling lets goooooo
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Career mode is completely broken, physics engine is questionable at best. Generally a bug ridden mess of a game that the devs have precisely zero intention of fixing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Poorly designed compared to Fernbus and The Bus, reduced fidelity vehicles, reduced map, derpy physics, derpier AI and a Sat Nav which I can't think of an insult for it's that bad :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best SIM GAME ever. My reasons: 1. You can walk wherever you wan just like in real life. 2. You own and customize your own house. 3. Unreal 5 engine makes the world look real. All this in a chill location! Because of these reasons, I play it more that ETS2 and ATS.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I recently started to play this again and found it to be something I always wanted and always had - really good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like it best among all the Bus Sims. Has a large challenging map and the best bus company management system. Word of warning though. Do not paint any of your busses in the game. It causes a variety of bugs after a bus is painted. Future purchased busses may not appear at the dock, routes gets swapped out with random lines. etc... It seems to corrupt the save after a bus is painted. Hopefully the next update fixes this issue. So note the date of my review and if it has been patched since…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a local of Fuerteventura, is sad that a game that promises being a Bus simulator of my island it's so bad at the most important part of a real place driving simulator: making the roads, distances and scenarios legit and accurate to the real ones. I don't know if being very accurate on a representation of real places in a videogame envolves the devs on any legal problems but, if it is not the case, I highly recommend re-making the road map, the town roads and scenarios, being more legit to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The AI is not the brightest, and the gameplay loop gets very boring very quickly. Basically, though, it's a reasonably solid little coach simulator. I'd even give it a thumbs up if it weren't for the DLC pricing policy. In order to break up the repetitive experience, it is necessary to have as many different vehicles as possible. However, charging over a hundred bucks for eight additional models is way out of line.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty good fabular mode, lots of options. Works on Linux with stering wheel using Proton. Disadvantage - only one bus by default + free BB40 DLC, the rest is paid.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is no longer abandoned. Update 8 was November, 2020 and update 9 was December, 2023. I'll give it another try for awhile and update the below if I see it is warranted. From the same company are Fernbus and The Bus. Both are far better. This has a nice business simulation in it which is not executed that well though. Good idea. I tried since the December, 2023 update. The new mode looks interesting although I couldn't find a way to do anything with it. I didn't get far before…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very laggy and jittery with even decent specs
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, firstly i'm like the biggest bus enthusiast out there, I love em sooo much. I have The Bus and Fernbus since quite a while ago, but always passed up on Tourist Bus Sim cuz I thought its too similar to Fernbus and probs gonna be redundant, but I was wrong. Theres tons of things to do in this sim especially all the managing compared to Fernbus where you just pick point A to B and thats it- sometimes it can be a lil stale, i'll admit. Overall, love it very much, bus nuts will love it! ^^
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rubish on a turn on the game in a town when you go past the turn the whole game glitch
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think that a it could be the best bus game if they could bring the buttons technology from Fernbus Simulator
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tourist bus needs a lot more updates these days. I fear that it has become an expensive form of abandonware. I kinda wished that they just brought the economical functions of this game into Fernbus and worked towards stuff like Multiplayer on both games. Generally Tourist Bus is okay if you don't mind it being somewhat behind Fernbus, but I think it needs a lot more development with reworks and expansions. A lot of the bugs you see here, you used to see in Fernbus but were fixed there but…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →yes nice gameplay and economy
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →gets boring after some time but its fine i like the controls
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →broken mess like all aerosoft games , runs poorly , badly optimised , poor bindings for wheels
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, but the worst is the performance for my GTX 1050.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i wasted money on this game and would like a refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the best driving game i have came acroos
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game is fun , but the developers put in NO effort to update or add content that is NOT paid DLC. seems the only time this is updated is when they want more money outta you. Is it worth a buy ? Yes...and no . Yes the game is fun , but no , they don't update or add content.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After all this time the performance is still bad, not optimized. Still a lot of bugs and graphic glitches. The driving of the bus and the car is a pain in the ar... I hope the devs are doing something about this essential points, then maybe it can become a good sim.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's very realistic game and teaches you as well what it takes to be a real bus driver
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I prefer Fernbus. I bought all 3 at once. Fernbus, Tourist Bus, and The Bus. My favorite is Fernbus because it's a simple relaxing career mode without all the management complexity of employing staff etc. So I've changed my thumbs up to down. There's too much management in Tourist Bus Simulator for my liking. If there was a 50/50 rating I'd choose that, I don't actually mean it's "bad", I just prefer Fernbus and The Bus. I want to drive buses, not mess around in an office management sim,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A crap version of Fernbus...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →eh, fernbus but worse ig
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It takes time to download
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So after Playing the Game I have Change my mind, This my Tips for Low PC setting you Can drive the bus and Car but just Hit the backspace to reset your bus So you dont active the Rev cam which Cause to Crash or Frozen up where you have to pen the game again this my play time - 27.6 hrs last two weeks / 27.6 hrs on record maybe the game be Update to diable rev cam
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tourist Bus Simulator is a chill game where you get to drive buses, pick up tourists, and explore some nice-looking places. The driving feels pretty realistic, which makes it fun to actually pay attention to the road and traffic. It’s satisfying when you complete a route without messing up or making passengers unhappy. I like that you can customize your buses and manage your own bus company, so it’s not just driving but also a little bit of strategy. The only downside is that there’s a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really depends on the publisher/developer. Some keep them forever see Tourist Bus Simulator (oldest uncracked Denuvo game) EA/Ubisoft/SEGA for examples
