The Bus

The Bus is a city bus simulation set on a 1:1 scale recreation of Berlin, developed by TML Studios and published by Aerosoft GmbH. Players drive officially licensed buses along authentic city routes, passing landmarks such as the Victory Column, the Brandenburg Gate and Alexanderplatz, selling tickets, dealing with traffic and carrying passengers to their stops. Weather and seasons change, and optional weather and time synchronisation can match conditions in Berlin.

Gameplay

The map includes more than 200 stops and Berlin bus lines TXL, 100, N100, 123, 142, 147, 200, 245 and 300, with licensed vehicles from Scania, MAN and VDL — 20 variants in total, including solo and articulated models and an officially licensed ATRON onboard computer. In Freeplay, players take any vehicle on any line and route. In Economy mode they run their own bus company, buying vehicles, hiring staff, handling maintenance and earning money from contracts and ticket sales. Players can move freely inside vehicles and around the city, use photo mode, and choose Realistic, Arcade or Custom controls. Editors allow lines, routes, timetables and tours to be created. The Xbox Store lists it as single-player, and the Xbox version does not include multiplayer or modding features.
