Bus Simulator : Ultimate Reviews

by Aldoiscool

I love this game it’s alright not really realistic because you can’t actually see into other cars the windows are just blacked out and the vehicle are kinda low graphics you are the only high graphics thing but one thing I don’t like about this game is the stop lights like red light yellow light and green light. These lights do go through a yellow light sequence it just goes from green to red it doesn’t go from green to yellow to red to help you stop if I’m speeding at 80 miles per hour I know this game isn’t mph I live in the U.S so most states use MPH which is what we use to idk what that would be in what the game uses but you need to have it go through a yellow light I don’t have time to stop by the time I get to the light the passengers get mad at me cause I run a red light I pass the light so I can’t see the color any more and they get mad cause of a red light so either apply better brakes to the buses or change it to where the light go from green to yellow to red please this would complete the game for me

It says to “park perfectly” but no matter how you park, forwards or backwards or sideways or upside down or not parking there at all, you’re just sitting there awkwardly trying to beat the first level. It’s unbeatable, making the game impossible and trash. Also, the radio has different genres to play but MOST of them don’t work. There’s no tutorial (that I know of), you’re just dropped off and suppose to know what you’re doing. Buttons aren’t labelled, so you have to know how to drive in order to do so which completely neglects everyone younger than 16. (And the game is for 4 years and up) The game doesn’t allow you to change the measurement system, it starts off with Km/h… but you’re driving in the USA in the begging. Theres nothing wrong with the metric system but I personally use the Imperial system a lot more and most games allow you to change it. It’s dumb because imagine using yards/miles while driving in Paris, and the speed limits aren’t matched with the units you are using. The game is a fun idea but along with all the bugs everyone is talking about, it deserves 1 star :/

The driving mechanics are fun. The amount of ads was really annoying, as you you get random pop up ads between driving, had to watch an ad to sell tickets instead of waiting 3.5 minutes, or you had to watch an ad to get an offer. The game kept popping up to subscribe for 8.99 a year and you would get a free bus monthly, free money monthly, multiplayer access, and no ads. The only thing that I received for subscribing, as I wanted to get rid of ads, was access to multiplayer. That’s great, but where was the rest of the stuff that was promised? I didn’t get any buses, or money. It did get rid of the random ads between driving, but it still makes you watch ads to speed up selling tickets, get offers, etc. Every other game that you purchase no ads for allows you to hit these buttons and just get the perk without watching another ad, as you are paying then 8.99 a year for that. Not so with this game.

This is an amazing game don’t get me wrong. I’ve had the game before and it was outstanding! But now I can’t even play it because after I try and drive the route myself.... the game crashes. I play on my iPad and my phone but on different accounts and the same thing happens. I try and start my route and then it crashes. Another thing, trying to make money in this game is super time consuming. I get that you want the players to keep coming back to the game but I don’t think that’s the way to do it. And one final thing, accidents and stop lights. This is a really touchy topic because for me the accident rate isn’t that bad once you figure out the ai but for a new player it may be frustrating and the stop lights should have longer times for the green and yellow lights. I think it changes to red to quickly. Other than those problems it’s a great game! It’s fun to play if u can get it to not crash. Please fix that, I love this game to much to see it do that...

I was really enjoying the game so I decided to pay for the ad free version. The only ads that I can tell disappeared are the ones you get when one of the buses finishes a route. You still have to watch the ads or wait 8 minutes for the tickets to sell. You still have to watch ads for all of the other functions too. There’s no real reason to pay for no ads because there are still plenty of them

I’ve also noticed that since paying for BusSimulator , all of the commercials have gotten longer. I used to regularly get commercials between 5 and 15 seconds long. I haven’t had one less than 30 seconds since paying. The payouts for watching the commercials have gotten lower too. I know it’s only $9 but it shouldn’t get less enjoyable to play after paying.

All in all it’s great game. Just don’t pay anything for it!

Let me start off saying this game is actually fun and relaxing. The only catch here is the bugs that need some fixing. When I’m on the road the AI will suddenly crash into me out of nowhere and costs me a penalty, they also don’t stop at red lights so when I stop on one the car behind me starts honking at me. Talking about red lights, it’ll be green from far away and as soon as I’m about to cross it it switches to red and doesn’t give me enough time to brake costing me another penalty which always happens. I would recommend putting count downs or adding the yellow light just to prevent that. Also when driving along the highway there’s always some bumps now and then that makes my bus shake violently which always throws me off and causing me an accident which so annoying. And one more thing the passengers literally are the most annoying thing in the game, always complaining about everything and making rude comments. So anyway great game but has potential for 5 stars.

There are definitely some good aspects. Seems like a person could get in depth with running the company and I do like the customization. But it needs overhauled in most other aspects. Lots of pointless features. Why use a blinker or watch your speed if they aren’t monitored? Traffic lights change significantly faster than a bus can manage if you’re not first in line. Not enough food stops. Seems like I can barely keep them fed properly on the shortest run. Everything costs a fortune and I barely make enough to justify playing. I figure it’ll take me half a day or so to buy a new terminal or a basic bus. Doesn’t provide much incentive to play for me. If a person really digs in and puts a lot of time into it, I could see the end result being pretty enjoyable but getting there doesn’t seem fun at all. To be fair, mobile devices are limited in capability and I suspect these folks made the best of it. Overall, good job!

This game is amazing and it’s really fun to play. I have been playing it since a really long time. The driver controls are really realistic and I love how every single bus is unique. Oh and I cannot believe how much terminals and routes there are ! However there are a few problems with the game. First of all, it’s the vehicles AI. For instance, say you’re cruising down the highway and everything is fine. When suddenly, a car that’s right next to you in the next lane attempts to go into your lane and crashes into you! Making all the passengers angry for no reason! Next, the graphics. The graphics on the bus are good and all but the trees look warped and the other vehicles look very undetailed I wish you would fix this. Sorry for the very long review and if you fix this I will rate 5 stars.

Enjoying this game so far, one of the best driving simulator games on mobile, beautiful graphics, realistic driving experience and wide selection of radio stations. I would love to see some improvements in the future like : improve traffic AI. and the way AI. vehicles turn is not natural. Also sending drivers to work takes a long time especially when you have a lot of drivers and I don’t like that you need to watch an ad to basically do any thing otherwise you have to wait a ridiculous amount of time (8 min before each mission). On the objectives screen i am currently stuck at "discover country" since I unlocked all the countries available right now so I can’t progress anymore which is stupid. Most countries looks the same so there is no real advantage of unlocking countries and terminals. Also buses are priced in a weird way, some of the most expensive buses are not better than the cheaper ones and some of them actually carry less passengers than the cheaper ones which means you get less money using them.

by Teshanmoney

I was thinking about spending money on this game but I noticed it wasn’t worth it. The ai are dumb and unrealistic. Once, I crashed because a bus in front of me just randomly stopped in the middle of the road, he didn’t even break he just stopped, I was going 40 kph. Also they don’t even accelerate, they just go from like 0 to 60 in 2 secs. I like the fact that you are able to play without any ads in the middle of your ride. Maybe add better graphics, but your a mobile game so what can I expect. But this is fun for a mobile game. Maybe a free mode. Where I can just roam wherever I want. I don’t like how every cop has their light on and is driving. Maybe if we run a red light or something he pulls us over, then we go into a talking stage where he asks questions and we answer, but that’s too much I won’t beg.

This review was all over the place unlike my other ones, but hope you got the info that I wanted to say, I also love the game and it is cool.

Okay I’ve had this game for almost ever. And I loved every minute of it. The way it works. The only this I don’t like is that there are no slider pedals. I really wish they had them. It would be easier to get back up to the desired speed faster. Another this is that the other cars around you on single player it like hard to slow down fast enough when they slow all or a sudden. I keep getting damage and getting fees. I wish there were like more like buildings to go with certain cities. Like New York like could have more buildings and traffic and like land features. Same for Dallas. And Los Angeles. That would be so cool. Maybe more turns. And like instead of taking a highway the whole time why not take more roads with turns and stuff. Like that would be fun. Because it’s not one road the whole way there. It’s not the same route. But other then those this is an amazing game to play. I hope the company reads this so they can like consider the things I said. Haha. Thank you zuuks.

Oh I love this game. The game is very detailed and lively and the graphics are great I have some suggestions. One of them are maybe if you pass a cop and you were going above the speed limit there is a 50% chance you can get pulled over and you have to pay a small fine. AlsoCan you add more rap songs to the radio While you are driving. Can you add more characters, edit the people, edit the map and can there be more places you can drop the people off at. Also when you’re getting gas can you fill up the tank to however much you were willing to pay for it. Say you only wanted it fill the tank a little bit more an update could be you have the choice to spend that much money and not fill the tank up completely. One more update is if you can see more wildlife. So far this game is my go to quarantine game. Also update your grafics they are starting to be very repetitive

by Llexibug

I love the game, and I love how long it takes to complete a route. It just needs improvement. For the lights, I think you should make them more realistic. Maybe have them turn yellow then red. I lost points because it was green when I passed it but it changed while I was under it to red. Also the AI of the cars don’t even stop at red lights and it throws me slightly off. The parking when you get to your destination is also something that needs to be fixed. I haven’t gotten past the first level because of the parking. I’ve tried to turn off my bus, turn off everything that’s on, and reverse into the parking spot but nothing works. I saw that someone else had the same problem but when I tried to fix it how they said to, it still didn’t work. Maybe in a new update you could also add difficulties. In hardest difficulty you can’t go over the speed limit or you get points off or the level ends. Just stuff like that but that’s just a personal opinion that I think would make it better. I don’t expect a free mobile game to be perfect, but I do expect it to at least be playable and I expect to be able to finish it.

I’ve been playing this game for almost 6 months and every update has only been bug fixes which is nice but who wants to get bored driving in the same looking places all the time. Games like that get offloaded quick because they become boring. Zuuks just updated their truck game and added new map sceneries that make places look unique or new map patches to add variety instead the same landscape. Plus who wouldn’t mind a city bus game with a few cities to drive in. I know you guys can do it.

*Another question is that your truck game gets several updates almost monthly; why can’t this game get the same treatment? Add weather options and more app support to help the game garner more attention. More buses are out there, they also can get dirty, and the weather shouldn’t be the same. Simple.

by DirtyTapWater

First off, this is the best free vehicle simulator you can find in BusSimulator Store. I have some suggestions, my biggest one at the moment is traffic lights, it would be cool if they turned yellow before red because I get penalized a lot for passing red lights simply due to it turning red while I’m already passing it. I actually can’t really think of any other suggestions because that’s the only one that really bugs me. I do wanna say though, I like the skip feature that was added. The amount of money you make to how much a new bus cost, I feel like it’s fair. I do like how there’s not an excessive amount of ads. I think this game could really be something. When I think of some more suggestions I’ll come back and edit this review.

I like the gameplay a lot but there are a couple things that make me not want to play. You see I play this game when I bored. I would recommend this game with a friend who like to drive or get bored and just play games. First of I would like you guys to fix the accident glitches. The cars in the game don’t know how to drive very well. In a matter of fact at all. The busses turn super hard in a not realistic way and when your next to them and they turn the back of the ai bus hits my bus. Then I lose points. Second the traffic lightest. They only last for like 5 seconds then they change and most of the time my bus does not accelerate fast enough so the traffic light changes to red and I lose points. Thirdly. You guys should make it easier to get money in the game. It takes me about a day to get enough money to get a new terminal. Also it takes me a while to get coins in the game and I can’t get new countries. Pretty much there’s a lot of things that need to change including the way the AI to drive in these traffic lights and there’s a little bit more glitches. Besides that I like the game I would recommend it to my friends. Next update I ask if you guys can fix those glitches that will make me happy and maybe some of these people who play it. If you finish reading this thank you for making this game for us to play and I hope that these glitches get fixed Stay safe.

I love this game! It’s among the games I would and have recommended to my friends. It’s so amazing, I’ve had this game for close to 6 months. The devs are always on top of things. But a couple things I really don’t like is how hard it is to get coins. Also, why do we have to pay to play multiplayer, like yeah I understand that the devs have to make money, but still. I play Bus Simulator on my PC, and it’s really good. All I ask is to fix the A.I.’s driving, like when I’m gonna turn off of the highways, other buses and cars turn from almost the other side of the highway. Also fix how the other buses turn, when they turn, they pivot, which leaves me almost 90% of the time left with a “minor accident” and my points drop. That’s all I ask is to fix the A.I.’s driving, and make the multiplayer part free. Thanks!!!

by Cute_hamsters

This is a wonderful game! I recommend this to anyone who likes to play driving games or needs a game to play when bored. But there’s a couple of issues I would like to be fixed. 1. When I start driving when the traffic light turns green I lose points because my vehicle isn’t fast enough and the light turns red quickly so I would like that fixed please. 2. When I’m driving the cars/buses are behind me and when they crash into me I lose points which is not fair so can u fix the cars so where when I’m driving they don’t turn into me. And lastly 3. When I play the game I can only play one country and I would like to unlock more but I don’t know how so maybe can u make an option where u could pick he country you want to go to pls. But yeah that’s all I want to be fixed or updated into the game but so far this is a wonderful game and I recommend it to anyone!

by Burgeradil

This is a wonderful game! Only a couple issues but I’ll get into that in a minute. Great gameplay great graphics everything is good. I have only 3 complaints: first mph/Kilometers per hour or however that’s said. Your can’t use mph and I’m American that’s all I know. If your could add the option to use mph that would be great. Second settings. You can’t access the settings while driving and sometimes you wanna change settings while driving. Third traffic lights. Sometimes it will be green then I go and it suddenly changes to red and I lose money and it’s not my fault. If you could add yellow lights that would be great. I would recommend this to a friend but fix these issues in the next update and I’ll recommend it to a complete stranger! Oh there’s a fourth I just thought of. I hate how you need to pay to get on multiplayer. But I love how you can sell your bus to other players while not on multiplayer. And there’s only ever adds if your ask for them to get free money.

So, I used to play this game when I was younger to pass my time. However, I got a new phone and I lost and forgot about it for a long time. After more than 4 - 5 years now I finally find the game again accidentally because I was trying to find a simulator game to pass my time offline. Finding this was a treasury discovery, glad to be back

The thing you've been waiting for, rating and opinion.

The game is genuinely awesome, not because I used to play and love it, I generally think it has a great point. The fact that it's still updating itself for a long time now is great development in the game which I genuinely think does deserve 5 stars overall. The game mechanics are simple and understandable. They also related very well in real life bus driving. I believe it had a great standard point to the game, it's fun and enjoyable, I highly recommend this awesome simulator.
