The verdict
A relaxing, arcade-leaning bus sim with company management, sandbox freedom and many buses, but buggy with erratic NPCs and weak wheel support. Skip it if you want realism.
Great for
Players who want a relaxing, low-stress bus driving and company-management game, or a bus game to share with kids
Main risk
Bugs, erratic pedestrians and AI, and poor wheel/control support can make it frustrating at full price
