About The Bus

The Bus poster

The Bus is a city bus simulation that puts you behind the wheel across multiple lines and different vehicles throughout Berlin. Germany's capital has been recreated realistically at a true 1:1 scale, giving you plenty of famous landmarks to spot along your routes, including the Victory Column, the Brandenburg Gate, and Alexanderplatz.

Driving officially licensed buses such as the Scania Citywide LF, you sell tickets to boarding passengers, contend with heavy traffic, and work to bring everyone safely to their stop while the city keeps moving around you. Changing weather and different seasons ensure that every trip carries its own challenges, whether you favor a relaxed run kept to schedule or the busier rhythm of navigating a major city. The aim throughout is to get as close as possible to the real feeling of driving a bus in Berlin.

The experience extends well beyond solo play. You can drive alone or together with others in multiplayer, and expand things through Workshop content downloaded directly via Steam, including community-made maps and repaints. Modding features let you create your own content to keep for yourself or share. Authentic details abound, from a detailed Berlin map with more than two hundred stops to real bus lines like the TXL, 100, and 200, making it a richly recreated simulation on PC.
