The game contains a variety of buses which are based on real life buses. There is also a tab showing what is the distance to the next bus stop. After you choose the route, you can view the description of the route and bus no. Each drive will take place during the day, or at nighttime, depending to the route described. If there is rain happening, then the wipers will function automatically.

If the players score less points than 0, then it will be an unsuccessful drive. If the player scores points more than 0, then the drive would be a successful drive. Conversely, the player will gain points for obeying traffic laws and being punctual.ĭespite being a game set in the United States, many of the bus stop names and cities are named after areas of London, including Debden, Collier Row, Feltham, Potters Bar and the terminus Westminster. The player will lose points if they disobey traffic laws, upset passengers (by braking too hard or causing accidents) or they depart from the bus stop too early, or even if they leave passengers waiting at a bus stop. As the game progresses, routes become more tedious. In order to unlock the next tier, the player must drive at least four of the routes successfully.

In total, there are six tiers, thirty-six routes and thirteen buses (seventeen in Temsa Edition). When the game begins, one tier of routes, which includes six buses, is available. If the player fails to do so, points will be taken from their score. After halting at the first stop, the bus must be driven along the correct route (indicated at intersections by orange arrows) whilst obeying all traffic rules and stopping at all bus stops.

The player selects a route from tiers (described below), and then after a short loading time, the player sees the selected bus either at a bus depot or terminal. A port to iOS, entitled Bus Driver - Pocket Edition, was released to the App Store by Meridian4 on 27 February 2014. The game was released digitally, for Microsoft Windows on 22 March 2007, and for OS X on 8 June 2011. Bus Driver is a bus driving simulator game developed by SCS Software.
