Bus Simulator 18
Whether in the industrial or harbour zone, downtown, in the surrounding villages or the business park, in Bus Simulator 18, you experience up-close the exciting everyday life of a bus driver in a vast and freely drivable urban area. Get behind the wheel of your 8 original licensed city buses from the great brands of Mercedes-Benz, Setra, MAN, and IVECO and transport your passengers safely and punctually to their destinations, either solo in single player mode, or with friends in real-time multiplayer mode. As a bus driver in the 12 different districts, you’ll face the challenges of the traffic in a big city and everything that entails. Don’t be deterred by freak weather conditions, potholes, traffic jams, fare evaders, accidents, construction sites, night driving and specific passenger requests. On the contrary, take full control of your bus, earn money, gain a good reputation owing to your safe and punctual driving style and enjoy almost limitless driving pleasure in the authentic urban locations. Use the thousands of miles of virtual roads and streets to gain new districts, new buses and new customisation options.

This is a very fun game for those of you that love to see if you can do Sim driving realistically. It's also fun to sometimes get in a bus and drive like a bat outta hell.

"Driving Buses and Herding Cats—Welcome to Bus Simulator 18!"
Ignore my 7.7 hours on this account to where I'm finally dropping in a review! - it is part of my STEAM family games bag and on another account I've played this game to death, much to my wife's dismay... She's a 'STEAM-Games-WIDOW' thanks to games like this! - I love it. (It's probably more like 700 hours than 7.7 TBH)!
I've been in many YTers Streams as a guest driver in MP over the years!
This game may be getting old now, but it is certainly 'StillAlive' although I've moved onto their later game I still play this from time to time. I think the Dev's should use this excellent game as a loss-leader and bundle it in a two and four pack variant so that you can cheaply buy a game that all the family can enjoy or that new YouTuber's can play and donate to help grow their channel and bring new players into this game.
If you've ever dreamed of being the captain of a diesel-powered chariot while managing the most "interesting" crowd of passengers imaginable, Bus Simulator 18 is your ticket to ride. This game nails the feel of driving some seriously sleek buses from big names like Mercedes-Benz, MAN, and IVECO, all while throwing in a dash of chaos with passenger antics.
The driving mechanics are solid—smooth, immersive, and just tricky enough to make you feel like you're really earning your paycheck. Navigating through bustling urban streets and scenic countryside is a treat, especially with the dynamic weather and day-night cycle. But let’s be honest: the passengers steal the show.
First, there are the fare dodgers. You know, the ones who think they’re sneaky as they shuffle past you with a smug grin. But catching them feels oddly satisfying—almost like playing a mini-game of “Bus Cop.” Then there’s the drunk guy trying to board at 9 a.m., mumbling something about “missing the last bus to Mars.” You’ll also encounter the “DJ of Doom,” blasting music loud enough to rattle the windows while the rest of the passengers give you the universal “DO SOMETHING!” look.
And don’t forget the constant complaints. Someone will gripe about the bus being early, another about it being late, and someone else because—well, why not? It’s like running a daycare, except the toddlers are full-sized adults with no mute button.
Beyond the hilarity, the game offers a surprising depth of management features. Planning routes, expanding your fleet, and even deciding on ad placements for your buses adds a strategic twist. Multiplayer mode is the cherry on top, letting you and your friends create a transport empire while laughing at each other’s driving skills (or lack thereof).
Sure, the game had a few potholes—some bugs and a repetitive grind here and there—but they’re nothing that ruin the ride. The developers are always actively patching things, so it’s only getting better.
So, whether you’re here for the realism, the strategy, or just to laugh at the chaotic circus that is public transportation, Bus Simulator 18 is worth every penny. Buckle up—it’s going to be a bumpy, and ridiculously fun, ride!
Cheers (don't drink and drive though)!
Daddaeus! (I'm not your Daddy, drive the bus all day and all night for me, I don't care)!
P.S. Because I know you will ask...
The phrase "herding cats" is a common metaphor for managing something chaotic or unruly, and it seemed like the perfect fit to describe the hilarity of dealing with the quirky passengers in Bus Simulator 18.
Happy gaming and good luck with those fare dodgers!

Good game, but there's a few errors that could be fixed
1. Not sure why, but reading the screens in the bus is a pain, it's illegible. So for instance when your supposed to be handing change back to the customer, you can't read what change you should be giving, and your also trying to figure out if there's a button to go back to fix any mistakes while this is going on. It's a bit of a mess
2. If they had the option to turn off traffic warnings hitting you that'd be nice. It may have it in the new game, but this one nope. Be prepared to have it go off quite a bit, as you'll have no idea the speed limit, drive over it easily and there it goes. Not to mention apparently you get hit for driving over a pothole. oy... it's annoying as hell
