Kerststadt, Featuring Kerststadt Universirty of Technology, Planetarium, Ministry of Science and Church. The new map expansion released today features 2 new main districts and an airport. Realistic forces you to change gear (the buses are automatic, but you need to move from Drive/Neutral/Reverse), you need to unlock the doors on the buses before leaving the depot, otherwise, they won’t open from the cockpit buttons, it also disables a few of the helpful prompts, all of this help add a little more immersion and realism to the game. The game gives you the option to choose between Simplified or Realistic simulation modes before heading out, Simplified leaves you to concentrate on just driving the bus and gives you warnings and notifications more suited to casual gamers or those playing for fun. Being able to zoom the map would make it a lot easier to read, you also can’t zoom your cockpit view whilst moving, which would’ve made it a little easier to read the GPS. Sometimes, in built-up areas I found it very difficult to work out which road I should take, often taking the wrong turn and having to loop around only to arrive at the stop late. The lack of ability to adjust the zoom on the GPS is frustrating. Whether that was an issue with the game or my lack of ability to set them up properly I’m yet to discover. I could not get them completely to my liking, they were either too sharp or lacking power resulting in me rear-ending other road users.

My only complaints so far are with the way the brakes perform, using a wheel and pedals. I also discovered whilst looking above my head that you can retract the sun blind/visor, again, A nice little touch if you appreciate the little details. At first, I couldn’t figure out why there was no music, I later realised there is a radio above your head which when turned on plays the game’s soundtrack. Most of the switches on the dash are functional. How does it play as a simulator? Very well, in my opinion. Occasionally you need to deal with Fare dodgers, passengers leaving valuables or litter on the bus, which are all nice little touches. Simply select the ticket being requested then work out any change to return to the passenger. When stopping at bus stops you’re required to issue tickets to your passengers, This is easily done with the ticket machine to the side of the cockpit. Requiring you to have a certain percentage of routes covered by drivers, or making sure certain routes are covered by gas-powered buses rather than diesel.

The mission system in the career mode is nicely done, Giving you tasks to complete in order to build favour with the local authorities, giving you the opportunity to expand through the map, they start off with simple missions of building certain routes, but then begin to become more challenging.

You’re faced with parked cars, sometimes even parked at the bus stop! Narrow roads, speed bumps and potholes, all whilst rushing to keep to your schedule. As the map begins to open up, the journeys get trickier, the routes get longer and the challenges start. Initially, you are limited to a small area of the map and the routes are quite small, but soon enough you’re bringing in enough money to purchase more buses and hire more drivers. Although you need to make your way to level 8 of the career mode in order to unlock it. There is a sandbox mode you can play, without the limitations of a budget and map size.
