Bus World

Bus World is a passenger transportation game set in a range of conditions, from everyday bus routes to disaster response. You drive passengers to their destinations in story scenarios or use free mode to create routes and travel across the maps as you choose. Each map has its own setting and scenarios.

Maps and scenarios

In the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in the Ukrainian SSR in 1986, you begin as a bus driver before the disaster. You deliver staff to the Power Plant and take tourists to their destinations, while dealing with problems such as breakdowns. After the disaster, you see the destroyed 4th power unit, the Red Forest and other sites in the Exclusion Zone. You help clean-up personnel address the catastrophe’s impact and take part in the evacuation while trying to avoid a dangerous dose of radiation.

In present-day Southern China, you drive through jungles on narrow, winding roads, facing tsunamis, floods, earthquakes with rockfalls and tornadoes. Sharp turns, cliffs and impassable roads make the routes difficult. Present-day Iceland brings volcanic eruptions and geysers, with less crowded routes because the country is sparsely populated. Some roads cross a geyser field or lead to the crater of an active volcano.

Driving scenarios

Scenarios cover three kinds of challenges:

• Standard trips that take passengers to their destinations.
• Breakdowns, including an overheating engine that needs to be switched off to cool down, or a bus that must reach a fueling station with limited fuel. On one route, you can save fuel by turning off the engine while driving down a cliff.
• Disasters, including the Chornobyl Power Plant explosion, wildfires, earthquakes and tornadoes. You avoid driving into tornadoes and help clean-up personnel locate highly contaminated areas in the Red Forest, while avoiding a potentially deadly radiation dose.

Rough roads and progression

Many routes involve off-road driving and rough surfaces. Hitting a pit or another obstacle at high speed damages the bus, while driving too fast on bad roads during peaceful scenarios makes passengers angry.

You gain experience as you play and level up to unlock new scenarios, vehicles and modifications.
