The Bus (video game)

The Bus is a simulation game developed by TML-Studios, released in Early Access on March 4, 2021, for PC. The game simulates the experience of driving a public bus in Berlin, Germany, at a 1:1 scale.

The core gameplay of The Bus revolves around transporting passengers along various bus lines, adhering to real-world schedules and routes, and managing the bus itself. Players are responsible for tasks such as selling tickets, making announcements, and maintaining the bus's condition. The game features a variety of bus models, including articulated buses, and allows players to customize their vehicles.

The Bus distinguishes itself through its high level of realism and attention to detail, accurately recreating the city of Berlin and its public transportation system. The game uses a modified version of Unreal Engine 4. Future plans for development include adding long-distance coach features and multiplayer functionality, eventually creating a combined simulation covering both city and long-distance bus driving. The game is intended to be a part of the broader World of AI simulation platform developed by TML-Studios, which includes other transportation simulations such as Tourist Bus Simulator and Fernbus Simulator.
