The Bus puts you at the wheel of original licensed MAN and Scania buses on real routes such as TXL, 100, 200, 245 and 300 - in recreated Berlin (incl. Victory Column, Brandenburg Gate, Alexanderplatz) with day-night cycle, weather, AI traffic and pedestrians.
Sell tickets, check tickets and interact with waiting and boarding passengers. Thanks to complex traffic light systems, live traffic flows and special traffic features such as a live radio ("FlashBass.FM"), it's as realistic as in real BVG everyday life.
Design your own lines, routes, timetables and tours. Use the Unreal Engine modding editor to create maps and content for the Steam Workshop. Customization including repaints, photo mode and editor tooling.
Currently in phase 2 with freeplay multiplayer, new lines (200, 245) and bus variants. Economic simulation with fleet management, multiplayer economy, AI streetcars and open hub Berlin city center will follow in the future.
Switch between modes (Realistic, Arcade, Custom). Controllable with keyboard, controller, steering wheel, eye-tracking and TrackIR - perfect for sim enthusiasts.
The game received the "German Developer Award - Most Wanted" in 2021. On Steam, the score is "Mostly Positive" with over 5,800 ratings
