    Despite the fact that this game has been available for Steam players on PC since last year and only came on the the console platform, the game crashes all the time.

To start with at the beginning of the game it is Okay, but once you reach level 20 that is where you run into problems. I will edit this review if they ever fix the game.… Expand

    They made literally nothing useful again... They copied Bus Simulator 16 added small amount of crap content and released it as new game. They are just grinding money with this 2 crap games. I hope they create something useful and save their company names. Oh sorry, I forget max 4 player multiplayer mode. They probably will release new dlc for 16 player multiplayer mode ^^

    If you like vehicle simulation games I think you will like this one. This is definitely a improvement from Bus Simulator 16 and I think it's heading the the right direction.

    Very expensive, and why they need to release a title every year? just release a game and update it constantly, don't buy this, download it by a torrent.

    We do the same thing over and over and over again ... I guess that's the way the bus drivers are. The mechanics are nice, but the car is like paper. The atmosphere gives you the feeling of driving a bus in a really crowded city compared to other games like this.

    There are many things in this game that are annoying:
    -Passengers need up to two minutes to enter your Bus, even if it has five doors
    -They constantly complain about no passenger light, up to 42 times in 40 minutes on a sunny day -Even when nobody requests a stop and no one is at the bus station you get minus points if you don't make a stop -NPC cars waiting much to long at the traffic    There are many things in this game that are annoying:

    Don't buy this game if you wan't a serious bus simulation!    … Expand

    Great game. But the animations are not that good. Meh. There's some disturbing, annoying bugs and glitches. But it is so fun to play it with g series wheel. I played it with g29 and it was fun. Buy it if its on a discount.

    Das Spiel ist nicht schlecht, die Grafik auch besser als bei Bus Simulator 2016. Man könnte jedoch mehr Features einbauen, die das Spiel besser machen. Die Story dauert auch ziemlich lang und zieht sich dahin.

    Gra jest o wiele lepsza od poprzednika, ale dalej posiada błędy, a większość jest denerwujących lub utrudniających gre.

    A nivel gameplay no creo que sea un simulador para mi es bastante arcade la verdad pero bueno cada quien con sus gustos.
    Horas de juego tiene para aburrir y su historia va de ir conectando las zonas que nos van pidiendo para desbloquear asi nuevas zonas.
    Tambien hay que decir que se mejoro mucho el sistema este de pintar los buses pero que aun le falta algunas cosas que pulir a mi gusto.
    Lo que no me gusto es las misiones que las haces y son pocos claras en lo que quiere conectar exactamente y aveces no sabes bien que tiene que incluir el recorrido.

    Conclusion es buen juego y vale la pena probarlo si les gustan estas cosas.    … Expand

    The game is very well implemented from my point of view. The tasks are easy to accomplish and the graphic design is very good. However, the multiplayer mode is unfortunately not recommended, because you often just get a lot of damage and the back of a long bus is often transferred incorrectly. The mods are also mostly not suitable for multiplayer.

    I enjoyed this game very much. The reason there are a lot of bag reviews is because the game was a lot buggier, but everything is much better now. For a bus simulator, there is enough to do, with even a career mode (which is way too easy) and lots of customization options. The views can be stunning, as long as you don't look too closely, and the controls are very easy andI enjoyed this game very much.

The views can be stunning, as long as you don't look too closely, and the controls are very easy and beginner-friendly. The AI needs to be fixed, but that will never happen. Overall I can see why this game has such a low rating, but after putting 30 hours into it I can say its fun to play over and over, and you can always try new routes and conditions to make the game different.… Expand

    Thanks to authenticity of its physics engine, appealing visuals, and fairly glitchless drivers’ AI, Bus Simulator 18 pretty much achieves what it was supposed to: relaxation through casual driving. [08/2018, p.73]

    Bus Simulator 18 is one of the best bus simulations on the market, but lacks content.

    Easily one of the best "sims" I've played in a while. By taking what makes games like Euro Truck and Farm Simulator so popular and applying it to the core ideas of ownership and operating a city-wide bus system, Stillalive has made a really admirable game. It's got a lot of depth, soul, and heart poured into it, even if it's rough around the edges in the way of bugs and polish issues.
