City Bus Driver

Grab the wheel of a city bus and thread through traffic without losing your cool—or your passengers.

City buses in games usually handle like bricks, and honestly? That's the whole charm here. You're behind the wheel of a long, heavy public bus on city streets, and every turn asks you to think about the back end almost as much as the front. WASD moves you forward, backward, and steers left/right, while the C key snaps between a chase camera and a tighter driver's view. I spent my first few minutes fighting the turning radius—this thing does not pivot like a sedan. Braking early is not optional; it's survival. The route itself is simple: follow the road, pick up passengers at marked stops, and don't wreck the bus. What surprised me is how much the camera choice changes the feel. From the chase cam, you can watch the rear swing clear of parked cars and streetlights. Switch to the driver's perspective and suddenly every crosswalk feels ten feet wide and every oncoming bus looks like it's aiming straight for your mirror. I nearly sideswiped a taxi because I got cocky with the hood view on a narrow right turn. You'll learn to tap C constantly—check the clearance, then commit. There's no deeply complex fare system or timetable here; it's more of a sandbox driving challenge. Traffic rolls through intersections, pedestrians wander near curbs, and your bus has real weight. That weight is the star. You'll feel the delay between pressing W and actually building speed. You'll feel the suspension lean when you cut the wheel too hard. And when you finally thread a tight alley or pull into a stop perfectly parallel with the curb, there's a small, satisfying "I can drive this thing" moment that keeps you going back. Just don't expect a cozy Sunday drive—one missed brake check and you're wearing a guardrail as a hood ornament.

• WASD to control bus • C to change camera view

Use the camera toggle before tight turns—hood view helps judge your front bumper. Brake early; the bus carries way more momentum than a car. Watch your mirrors at every stop; pedestrians pop out of nowhere. Don't floor it through intersections—red lights and cross traffic will end your route fast. Swing wide on right turns or you'll clip the curb and lose points. If you miss a stop, don't reverse into traffic; loop around the block.
