Summary

Experience the daily life of a bus driver in two open world cities either in the USA or Europe. Drive up to 30 licensed buses by international manufacturers, including a double-decker and e-buses. Take your passengers to their destinations safely and on time - either in single- or multiplayer mode.

Look forward to Bus Simulator 21, and the most comprehensive and advanced fleet in the history of the series. For Bus Simulator 21, a fleet of 30 officially licensed buses by well-known, international manufacturers such as Alexander Dennis, BYD, Grande West, and Blue Bird will join the models by popular brands already included in the preceding installment (Mercedes-Benz, Setra, IVECO BUS, and more). For the first time, you will have the chance to master the challenges of daily traffic in the cockpit of double-decker and electric buses.

Get ready for the brand-new, impressive US map Angel Shores and a revamped version of the European Seaside Valley map from the previous game installment – including its map extension. The even greater open-world approach of Bus Simulator 21 means that you will get to experience the exciting daily life of a bus driver in two massive, freely explorable cities, including industrial and outlying districts, a vibrant Chinatown district, a promenade, the surrounding hilly countryside, and the business park. Different difficulty levels and play modes are also available for a wide range of player types.
In Bus Simulator 21, you will not only become a capable driver with countless miles on the road – you also have the option to use extended management elements. Creating detailed timetables, buying and selling buses, and planning efficient routes that take into account the daily number of passengers at peak hours – these and more varied tasks are available for you to enjoy.

Do you prefer getting up from behind the desk and taking steering your buses into your own hands? No problem! The auto-features of Bus Simulator 21 can take over your management duties and let pure bus drivers simply enjoy their time on the road.

Plus, the revised traffic and pedestrian AI, improved graphics, and a dynamic day-night cycle tightly linked to the peak hours system as well as different weather conditions ensure an even more immersive bus driving experience.

Play in either single-player or synced multiplayer mode, transport your passengers safely and promptly to their destinations and be rewarded for your timely and safe driving at the end of pay day.

Freely usable convenience features, such as quickly jumping to desired stops on the map (fast travel), fast forwarding time, and directly taking over the routes of your NPC buses, all complete the virtual bus driver package and guarantee even more fun behind the wheel!

Enjoy Bus Simulator 21 on PC or consoles for the most comprehensive bus driving experience in the history of the series!

Happy 2005! This game is broken and unfinished. Bad graphics, bad physics, bad animation, bad optimization, bad AI. The pedestrians run inHappy 2005! This game is broken and unfinished. Bad graphics, bad physics, bad animation, bad optimization, bad AI. The pedestrians run in front of the bus, so you can kill them 100% and you pay $20.000 fine. Sometimes, I also crash "ghost" obstacles or pedestrians and I get fine without doing anything. I lose money from crashing ghost things! It's way worse than Bus Simulator 18... The end of the series.

I firmly believe that the developersA relatively successful, fun and complex bus driver simulator is marred by some often unnecessary bugs. I firmly believe that the developers will eventually manage to remove a large part of them through updates. Overall, though, I'm at peace with the game, and in a discount sale I probably wouldn't hesitate to buy it for long.

Also the control with the many possibilities to influence the driving feels very authentic. So also the new day and night cycle is successful. Unfortunately, the technology can't always convince. Those who like driving buses will feel right at home in "Bus Simulator 21".

We enjoyed Bus Simulator in 2019, and our pleasure remains intact in 2021. It uses the same recipe but adds some welcome new ingredients. Managing your routes can be complicated at times due to menus that aren't always ergonomic, but it nonetheless remains fun to set them up to increase one's profits as much as possible. The driving experience is still pleasant and you quickly get hooked on roaming through the new town of Angel Shores and the good ol' Seaside Valley.
