And it doesn’t help that your passengers will comment on the fact that you’re late, complaining when they don’t reach a destination on time. The clock on your GPS is constantly ticking down, and when it hits the minus (indicating that you’re behind schedule) the pressure really begins to mount up. Maybe in the next update?Īnother key difference between Bus Simulator 18 and other sims is how it never gives you a minute to relax. Sadly there’s no option to add undercar LEDs, spinners, or lowrider hydraulic systems yet, though. Yes, you can customise your bus, applying garish paint jobs and decals to make it your own. The buses are all real, though, with licensed vehicles from MAN, Mercedes-Benz, IVECO, and Setra to buy, customise, and drive. That familiarity of driving through a real city can really enhance the realism and immersion of a sim. I would have preferred a real city to a fictional one, though. The map is fun to drive around, with a nice range of scenery and a good mix of built-up and quiet aras. I think most people at some point have wondered what it would be like driving a bus, and I found stepping aboard my Mercedes-Benz Citaro K for the first time oddly thrilling-a feeling amplified by the incredibly enthusiastic woman who walks you through the tutorial.
#BUS SIMULATOR 18 BUS IN DRIVE WONT MOVE PC#
The latest weirdly specific simulator to arrive on PC is Bus Simulator 18 (opens in new tab), which lets you drive a city bus around a fictional city, picking up passengers, printing out tickets, and making stops on time. I’m not equating sitting on my arse playing Garbage Truck Simulator for an hour to a hard day’s graft, but you know what I mean. Whenever a truck rumbles past me on the street I think of my hours spent in Euro Truck Simulator 2 (opens in new tab) and I feel like I understand the job, at least on some superficial level. Since playing World of Subways 3: London Underground I’ve never been bothered by a tube delay. And we wouldn’t want that, would we? Winners will be drawn Friday, July 6.What I love about simulators is how they give you a glimpse into the lives of people who drive buses, dump garbage, and haul cargo lives that are, for most people, a mystery. If I cannot contact you, I can’t give you the opportunity to drive virtual buses in your spare time. Please make sure you have a Destructoid account with your current email address on file. For my part, I’d ban anyone named Terry from riding my buses, which would reduce the amount of crime and improve general atmosphere in public transport by roughly 90%. To enter our giveaway, leave a comment below telling us your plans to achieve your ultimate goal of bus domination. This year’s game features eight licensed buses from four major bus manufacturers, and even a four-player multiplayer mode where you and your friends can ensure people make it to their court dates on time.
Manage your bus fleet, plan routes, accommodate bus riders, and shout at people playing their Walkmen too loudly on your way to bussing greatness.
The nice folks over at stillalive studios are promoting the success of Bus Simulator 18 by giving away ten Steam copies to the rabid bus fans of the Destructoid community. It started with managing cities, theme parks, and ant colonies it moved on to simulating digital avatars and the communities in which they lived, worked, and played and now, the ultimate in simulation is in our midst: There’s a simulator for everything these days.
