Bus Parking

Squeeze a full-size city bus into impossibly tight spots without clipping a single cone.

I've never driven an actual bus, but Bus Parking makes me feel like I should hand back my license before I ever touch a real steering wheel. You get a full-size city bus and a parking lot full of spots that look about two inches wider than the vehicle. The WASD controls are simple enough, but the turning radius is brutal. Swing too early and your back end clips a car; swing too late and your front bumper kisses a lamppost. The camera change on C is the real trick. I kept swapping between an overhead view and a chase cam depending on whether I was lining up or backing in. One specific moment: trying to parallel park between two buses that were already parked, I had to do a seven-point turn while sweating through a three-minute timer. Changing to the direct rear view made all the difference — suddenly I could see exactly how much space was left. What keeps me coming back is the satisfaction of nailing a clean park without touching a single cone. Some levels add moving traffic or tight corners that force you to plan your approach ahead of time. It's not flashy, but it's exactly the kind of precision challenge that makes you lean forward in your chair. If you like games where patience beats reflexes, this one's worth your time.

• WASD to control bus • C to change camera

Switch to chase camera with C before attempting tight turns — the overhead view lies about your clearance. Brake early and creep forward; the bus keeps rolling after you release W. When reversing, line up your rear wheels with the painted line before straightening out. Use tiny taps on A and D instead of holding them down, especially at low speed. If you clip a cone, don't reset — back up gently and fix the angle instead of starting over. Save some patience for the parallel parking levels; they demand a full three-point (or seven-point) turn.
