Bus Simulator 16

Bus Simulator 16 puts you in charge of a bus company in a freely accessible city with five authentic districts. You drive passengers to their destinations safely and on time, manage the company and plan routes for drivers you hire.

Driving the city

Choose from 13 buses, including two-door and three-door models and articulated buses, with licensed vehicles from Mercedes-Benz and MAN. Drive through commuter traffic during rush hour, avoid emergency vehicles and take detours around roadworks and protest marches. Pedestrians and vehicles behave in different ways, while accidents and traffic violations can cause trouble.

You can plan your own routes and drive them yourself, as single trips or round trips. Keep to your schedule and follow traffic rules to unlock buses, districts and missions. The five districts unlock one by one.

Passenger service

Driving is only part of the job. Calm upset passengers, repair stuck doors, sell the correct tickets and extend the ramp for wheelchair users when needed. Passenger requests and unexpected problems demand your attention as you work to stay on schedule, build your reputation, earn passengers’ trust and make money.

Manage your company

A better reputation lets you secure larger contracts and access more buses in the shop. Hire drivers with different characteristics and skills through the in-game job exchange, then plan their routes and manage the company’s profits. You can also put advertising banners on your buses to bring in additional funds.

Customize and mod

Paint your buses and decorate them with unlockable decals. The game also supports mods: use tools such as Blender and Gimp to change the appearance of existing buses, create custom buses and buildings, and integrate them into the game. You can also reconstruct the city to suit your preferences.
