Bus Manager 26

Simulator mechanics, along with the actual economy system is janky, and needs to be improvised heavily. -- Money for some reason racks up spontaneously, even after a line is done for the night, I checked to see if it was the ads I put on the bus and it wasn't, I dunno where that moneys coming from. -- Passengers tend to fill up bus stops linearly regardless of time, rather a too quick. -- There is no satisfying a bunch of bozos, no matter how much you upgrade your buses to increase it's said satisfaction, they will always whine about it. Regardless it doesn't even matter because they'll still ride your bus, and pay your fare. -- There's too many hippies in this game, they keep berating you the moment you open your business to convert to electric or hybrid, no wonder the city doesn't have any bus routes it's because of you tree hugging bureaucrats, why don't you open your own bus company you wastes of oxygen. Along with that I find that some parts of the game are simply broken, like really broken. -- Taking buses off the line is nonexistent, adding buses is a mirage. Selecting a bus to a certain line is just an illusion. -- Editing a bus route isn't really a thing, wh…

Bus Manager 26 takes the familiar concept of transportation management and builds an accessible strategy game around designing and maintaining a profitable bus network. Developed and published by Ikariu's Studios, the game places players in charge of a growing bus company rather than behind the wheel of an individual vehicle. The emphasis is on planning stops, establishing routes, purchasing buses, responding to passenger demand, and keeping operating expenses under control. It is a relatively straightforward foundation, but the interaction between these systems gives the experience enough depth to reward careful planning. One of the game's most interesting ideas is the freedom to establish a bus operation in cities around the world. This gives Bus Manager 26 a broader sense of scale than a simulation tied to a single fictional environment. Choosing different cities can make repeated playthroughs feel more personal, particularly when experimenting with locations that the player already recognizes. The geographical freedom also complements the central management concept because building an effective transportation network depends heavily on deciding where stops should be positioned…

Very barebones game. Some settings on the lines don't do anything or won't tell you what it does. I took down from the assigned buses and it just dissapeared, not in garage, can't be assigned elsewhere, can't be reassigned.

The basemap has next to no contrast meaning the cit yi live in is nearly unrecognisable unless you squint. The routefinding is terrible and doesnt seem to know that buses can go through bus-only areas. https://gyazo.com/c2c4561d4f6ed533af78d8463d7140d8 Making bus stops is painful and the snapping is terrible and often places them inside buildings or on pedestrian footpaths. Placing depots seems pointless considering it just places like a bus stop and you can just plonk it anywhere. The basemap is missing an API key meanign you have a big overlay at all times telling you so. The 3D buildings block out so much of the map, meaning you have to play in top down all the time, making the 3d-ness useless.

A horrible game that does not work AT ALL the tutorial doesnt explain how the game works. The camera perspective is nearly unusable. This game is EXTREMELY buggy. No buses were sent to my routes, and after 1 minute in that i had no chance of doing anything the game said that im out of money. I will report this game to steam.

Not the best game, but not the worst... Bugs: One of my city streets (Tiltų st. from Klaipėda) doesn't exist on the map a.k.a. can't build stops on that street. Buses just skip stations EVEN if they aren't full Ideas for the game: - Add a reverse route so buses wouldn't go on the same street. - Make stations that can have more then one stop
