About Bus-Simulator 2012

✦ AI summary

Bus Simulator 2012 puts you behind the wheel of a meticulously detailed bus navigating a sprawling German city while managing schedules, passenger interactions, and realistic vehicle mechanics. The game stands out with its massive open world, over 450 bus stops to service, authentic AI for traffic and pedestrians, and the freedom to customize your routes and vehicles to share with the community.

Catch the bus and let it take you to a detailed, virtual world.

Are you ready to explore a picturesque German city behind the wheel of a realistically modeled, freely accessible bus? Then take a look at “Bus Simulator 2012” by the well-known developer studio TML!

Every technical detail of the original bus has been reproduced true-to-live. Switch on the air-conditioning when your front-shields are steaming up and keep an eye on the speedograph, to stay in schedule – even though you have a lot of missions, you will still need to rest in order to stay fit! Thanks to the digital readouts in the bus, you can monitor your engine’s temperature and the charging level of the cooling liquid as well as the oil and gasoline level.

Organize your route and service more than 450 bus stops. Enjoy the realistic AI of both, pedestrians and traffic, which will also influence your own behavior while driving. Interaction with your passengers is also an important facet of your job: It is up to you to decide which ticket to sell and how to greet your customers – they will react accordingly!

Thanks to TML’s fantastic ability to recreate buses and other vehicles in great detail, you will find this game to be a truly challenging bus-simulation. Discover the open 3D-world with a variety of interesting landmarks and enjoy exploring it in between your shifts. But take care while on the job: Stick to your schedule and the traffic rules!

Creative? Feel free to individualize your vehicles and to share them with the simulation game community.

Key Features:


  • Detailed bus-models with realistically represented technology and physics
  • Freely organisable routes
  • Additional side missions
  • Reward system
  • Huge, freely accessible 3D-world
  • Pedestrians and vehicles that follow a realistic AI

✦ AI summary

Bus-Simulator 2012 is a deeply flawed simulator with significant bugs, clunky mechanics, and poor gameplay that most players find unplayable, though a small contingent appreciates its unintentional charm and immersive qualities despite the jank. The game's outdated design and glitchy AI make it frustrating rather than engaging for the majority, with players universally recommending against purchase regardless of price.

Terrible, unplayable game! Full of bugs, the gameplay is super-bad! DO NOT BUY! No matter what the cost! Even for 95% off it's bad!

This is easily one of the most immersive, lifelike, and cinematic game I've ever experienced. 14 years later and I still have to physically pull myself out of the world of Bus-Simulator 2012 as I get too immersed trying to satisfy my passengers. I feel like in this world people actually respect me and my authority. I'm the leader and they're not. I love the mutual understanding. In this world I'm no longer just a registered sex offender but a leader of men.

Bus-Simulator 2012 feels like a game that really wanted to be taken seriously but reality had other plans. On paper, it’s a detailed simulator with solid ideas, but in practice, the clunky physics, odd AI behavior, and frequent glitches turn it into something unintentionally hilarious. It’s rough, sometimes frustrating, and definitely outdated, yet there’s a strange charm in its chaos. Not a polished experience by any means, but if you can appreciate a bit of jank, it ends up being more entertaining than it probably should be.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
