City Bus Driver
Full-size city bus routes, point to point, with the length of the vehicle as the challenge.
A full-size bus turns a familiar city into an obstacle course. Junctions that a car takes without thinking need the whole road, and the rear overhang swings over the pavement on every tight turn.
Routes run point to point, so the driving is continuous rather than broken into short tasks, and settling into the rhythm of a long route is where the game becomes enjoyable.
The cab camera is worth using: judging a bus from outside never quite works.
Routes cover different districts, and the older streets are noticeably tighter than the newer ones.
Passenger numbers change the weight enough to be felt when pulling away.
Controls
WASD or arrows to drive, space for the handbrake, C for the cab view.
How to Play
- Swing wide on turns and watch the rear overhang.
- Use the cab view for tight sections.
- Brake gently — the bus carries a lot of weight.
- Complete the route to earn the next one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the back of the bus hit things?
The rear overhang swings outwards on a tight turn, so a line that looks clear from the driver's seat is not clear behind you.
