Drive in a Bus using your PC, with Bus Driver!

Who would have thought driving a bus could be so exciting? You can go to many places, learn basic traffic rules, and not to mention pick up numerous passengers and transport them to each designated bus stops. At first thought, this game may seem too ordinary due to the image of same old driving games, but mind you, this one is different!

Bus Driver is a PC game developed by SCS software. What makes it different among other driving games is its realistic bus-driving setting. The buses as well as the cities are designed in very good detail. The appearance of the places is really good and relaxing to the eyes, and it can also be played conveniently because it is keypad-controlled. Of course, another realistic aspect here is the emphasis of basics in driving. This includes strict implementation of traffic rules, promotion of safety of passengers, and simulation of real-life driving mechanisms such as using 5 gears, reverse, hazard, horn, left and right blinker signals and side mirrors, and brake. Enjoy a wide variety of buses from school buses, government buses, to double-deckers.



The only negative aspect of the game is its inablity to be minimized; therefore you'll have to quit it before navigating to any other windows applications. Overall, its rating is 7 of 10.
