As I was told several times by who I referenced as Reg Varney a minute ago, some of those annoying lines or the €20 for a €3.00 fare are real problems for drivers. There are many things that are purposefully annoying, and I understand that. The lines passenger parrots are echoing in my head as we speak: If I have to hear “ I’m on the bus!” or “Nothing like casinos” once more, I may just snap and fling the bus in the water. Part of me was getting angry, and that may have been for multiple reasons including one or two outside the game. Don’t worry, it is wheelchair accessible! Wheelchair users at curbed stops, people who hand over way too much money, and those who forget they are alive halfway in the door, can all sit in the same circle of hell.
The best course of action is to not bother so the ramp isn’t blocked by the curb itself 90% of the time. It turns out when the game tells you to kneel the bus at every stop, it is wrong. Then when asked to lower the ramp I nearly dropped kicked someone, as I repeatedly received a message informing me there was something blocking the ramp at multiple stops. I must say, within the first hour I was shouting at wheelchair users because playing a PC-centric game on a controller mapped by a gibbon was hard enough. Also yes, it is all in euros with no currency converter. I did that once all in €0.05 coins I’ll take your money which is screwing me over, but two can play this game. Advertisements or not, that’s a lot of money when you are handed €20 for a €1.20 fare and have to hand back €18.80 in change. However, eight services with one bus each, 20-hours a day, in and out in terms of maintenance, and several other expenditures (including insurance) probably shouldn’t be making 90K a day. This is understandable, I am the one that keeps saying games don’t have to be realistic if they can bring a sense of fun. You’ll still be doing a Scrooge McDuck impression by the end of the day.Įach payday brings in enough money that would make you blindly believe it would be impossible for public services, like buses, should ever be out of pocket. That is not enough to make the entire experience a slog, but it happens often enough to fling your head back talking to whatever higher power you believe in and whisper, “please don’t hit X.” Not that penalties really matter, as you can rack up several violations of red lights being run or other offenses. I say it functions as you’d expect because (at times) performance is variable with intermittent stutters. You drive buses around generic-looking towns with your empire built on a mountain of Werther’s Originals and swearing profusely at any and all insignificant annoyances.

Default settings are ridiculously sensitive (so play about with those), passengers have a propensity to babble nonsensically right in your ear, and then there are the wheelchairs.Īs a game, Bus Simulator 21 functions as you’d expect while being the latest edition in a rather short-lived series so far. This isn’t really aided by the menu systems or slightly unintuitive controls. As I said, driving the bus is the easiest thing you can do, but the dealing with the public is a whole other story. Just as you do having to deal with the general public. By 12, I knew you shouldn’t poo in those chemical toilets no matter what. That and I had the experience of traveling the length and breadth of the country on buses for long enough.

Joking aside, it was an actual bus driver that said that, which may give the hint that I started out with a bit of an advantage already. It turns out my brain knew straight away that the wheels were behind me, so I should turn a bit later than I might expect. I went into the training/test area of Bus Simulator 21 to try out the buses you get early on and was praised for being able to drive between the cones properly. Sure, my driving instructor was Reg Varney, but I am a solid driver. ” He was right, there isn’t an easier job or thing around once you get a hang of it. What was it that James May said about driving a bus? “ Easiest thing I’ve ever done it’s easier actually, ’cause you are not being filmed.
