Bus and Taxi Driving Games

Taxi games including City Taxi Driver Simulator are routing problems: fares appear across the map, and the fastest way between two of them is rarely the obvious one. Ambulance games such as City Ambulance Car Driving add urgency, and their return trips are always harder than the outward ones.

The most demanding games here take a passenger vehicle somewhere it was never meant to go. Hill Station Bus Simulator runs mountain roads with unfenced drops; Uphill Passenger Bus Drive Simulator takes a coach off the tarmac entirely. Both reward patience over pace, and both are more interesting for it.

Across the whole section the useful habit is the same: brake earlier than in a car, and take corners wider than the line suggests. These vehicles carry weight, and the weight is behind you rather than under you.

All of these run in the browser without installation. The cab camera is worth switching to on the bigger vehicles — judging a bus from an external view rarely works, and every game here offers the change.

These games are slower than anything else on this site, and that is the appeal rather than a limitation. A route takes several minutes, nothing chases you, and the reward is arriving having done the job properly. If you have come from the traffic or stunt sections, expect the pace to feel wrong for the first minute and about right by the end of the first route. The mountain games in particular are worth the patience they ask for.

Questions about this section

Why is driving a bus harder than a car?

Length. The rear of the vehicle swings wider than the front, so lines that look clear from the driver's seat are not.

What is the difference between the taxi and bus games?

Taxi games are routing problems with a timer; bus games are fixed routes where stopping accurately is the skill.

Which is the hardest game in this section?

The mountain routes — an unfenced drop on one side and a full-size passenger vehicle is an unforgiving combination.
