Our take on City Bus Simulator 2018
Instead of treating public transport as background scenery, the game makes bus operation the central activity. Progression comes from passenger fares and route access, while night services add a timetable variation to the usual daytime driving loop.
What is City Bus Simulator 2018?
Operate a city bus through traffic and around pedestrians while carrying passengers along routes with more than 1,000 bus stops.
The game includes a detailed bus model with multiple functions, different fares for different routes, and a progression system based on collecting passenger payments. Earnings open additional routes, including routes running at night, with longer routes among the unlockable options.
