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.

Hey there, to anybody that's interested in playing this game in the current year (2025), I would recommend this game, while old, it's still very fun and entertaining, but there are no where near the amount of buses in Bus Sim 21, said that, I would still pick this game over BS21 since it's actually well optomized! *Shocker*.
Apart from that, some of the downsides are that the map extension isn't free, and neither are all of the buses, but they're cheap, so if you want more, go for them! (They're even cheaper on sales).
8.75/10 would recommend.

I have spent 88 hours listening to people complain.
"Can you turn up the AC?" "Someone forgot their purse!" "You're driving too fast!" I came to this game to relax, but instead, I accidentally adopted 40 ungrateful virtual children who refuse to sit down while I take a sharp turn at 60 km/h.
Highly therapeutic. 10/10.

Npcs crashing into me when i just drive straight.
from the side btw.
Oh and when i turn and theres a crosswalk, a npc decides literally to cross and stop, then goes right into my bus.
This is just a peak sht.

What I can say. This game it has special place for me. Even thought that i havent played this game for a while. After 100% steam achievments and for over 100 hours I can say that even that this game is old is still worth it.
I did play with Logitech G920 wheel without any problem. Only time when was something annoying, was when ticket interface in the bus was bugged but overall for 8 years old game is still good.
And you can buy it for pretty good deal like for 3 € when I am writting this review as all time lowest price. Only what can be annoying are AI traffic and sometimes people at bus stations or in the bus but thats a small detail.
Optimalization for my pc was pretty much smooth. I didnt notice any lags when playing. And size of the game is 4,4 GB.

its been nearly 8 years since 2018 and this game is still playable and enjoyable to play. the map is very comforting and nice--its some sort of european town--the gameplay is what you'd expect, and the overall aesthetic is nice. even the dialogue with the passengers, while stupid, does add life to the game. overall, if its on sale and you're looking for a calming game to pass time with (especially with a gaming wheel on hand), this game does the trick.
