What is the best Bus simulator? In todays video reviews, me and the boys compare Bus Simulator 211, Fern Bus Simulator and The Bus which is still in early access.
The real question is, does a good bus simulator even exist?
ABOUT FERNBUS:
The Fernbus Coach Simulator is the first simulation of the very popular intercity buses. Thanks to the cooperation with FlixBus the Fernbus Coach simulator shows the daily life of a coach driver on the German Autobahn, highways and in more than 40 cities in great detail.
With a large and modern MAN Lion’s Coach Bus you experience the daily life of a long distance coach driver. Navigate through a complex Autobahn and road network to bus stations in the more than 40 implemented cities and stay in constant communication with the headquarters.
Be careful with the other car traffic during your trips on partially full German highways and control your bus safely by day and night during all seasons.
About 20.000 km of the German route network of FlixBus and over 40 cities were simulated. Time passes at a scale of 1:10, so that the individual tours last not too long.
Like in reality at the bus stations passengers already holding a valid ticket can get on right away while the other passengers have to buy a ticket from you.
Both MAN busses are equipped with original cockpits including all functions. The interior and exterior of the bus is modeled to the last detail. True to original passenger announcements provide a realistic atmosphere. Construction sites, traffic jams and accidents will challenge you as a bus driver to keep up with the schedule. The busses were tested and optimized by bus drivers and driving instructors.
ABOUT BUS SIMULATOR 21:
Get ready for the brand-new, impressive US map Angel Shores and a revamped version of the European Seaside Valley map from the previous game installment - including its map extension. The even greater open-world approach of Bus Simulator 21 means that you will get to experience the exciting daily life of a bus driver in two massive, freely explorable cities, including industrial and outlying districts, a vibrant Chinatown district, a promenade, the surrounding hilly countryside, and the business park. Different difficulty levels and play modes are also available for a wide range of player types.
In Bus Simulator 21, you will not only become a capable driver with countless miles on the road - you also have the option to use extended management elements. Creating detailed timetables, buying and selling buses, and planning efficient routes that take into account the daily number of passengers at peak hours - these and more varied tasks are available for you to enjoy.
Do you prefer getting up from behind the desk and taking steering your buses into your own hands? No problem! The auto-features of Bus Simulator 21 can take over your management duties and let pure bus drivers simply enjoy their time on the road.
Plus, the revised traffic and pedestrian AI, improved graphics, and a dynamic day-night cycle tightly linked to the peak hours system as well as different weather conditions ensure an even more immersive bus driving experience.
Play in either single-player or synced multiplayer mode, transport your passengers safely and promptly to their destinations and be rewarded for your timely and safe driving at the end of pay day.
Freely usable convenience features, such as quickly jumping to desired stops on the map (fast travel), fast forwarding time, and directly taking over the routes of your NPC buses, all complete the virtual bus driver package and guarantee even more fun behind the wheel!
Enjoy Bus Simulator 21 on PC or consoles for the most comprehensive bus driving experience in the history of the series!
ABOUT THE BUS:
The Bus is the next generation of city bus driving simulation set in the capital of Germany, Berlin, on a realistic scale of 1:1. Transport passengers on different lines across the city with various busses. Manage your fleet and team up with other drivers online.

Where OMSI 2? Imo omsi is the best bus simulator game
A lot of you have said this in the comments so wanted to pin it as it seems OMSI 2 is best!
I’ll be truthful here, I’ve not played it myself simply because I was looking at games within the last 10 years. Fernbus I believe is the oldest from the ones I reviewed, but OMSI was 2013, which probably makes us all feel so old! It’s also quite damming that a 10 year old game is still considered the best version even though we’ve had many other games released since then.
With that, I may go buy it and do a review of it as it seems many of you would like to see it.
So thank you for the comment lad and for stating this! It’s a point well made!
As a former OMSI mod developer and a player since it was first released in 2011, I will say that without a doubt OMSI is the best bus simulator ever created. It may not have as nice graphics as other newly released games or present performance issues, but still wins hands down!
@@User-jr7vf thank you for the update lad and wonderful comment. I promised I’d do a review if this soon and I intend to stick with it. Just waiting for a lull in the gaming schedule!
@@cockneygamer sorry to say but omsi was still realistic simulator i dont see nowadays so realistic simulator of driving
@@cockneygamer OMSI has realism no other bus simulator quite has yet. It also has a good library of mods. The only problem with OMSI is it's performance, due to how old it is the game was made in 32-bit, this causes worse performance and limits the usage of the game's ram to 2gb (can be passed up to 4gb with a patch).
the way you break every traffic law in existence at the start mixed with calm talking
I’m sure there was more to break!
I’ve always enjoyed bus simulators, and now I am a bus driver IRL it’s such a good job, I absolutely love it
Aww, well done, There's nothing like working a job you love. 🥰👍
My teachers were trying to scare me saying that i will he a bus driver.
That's how i got interested in this job :3
@@thefox4944 ha ha, that’s how stupid teachers are, I now earn as much as them and I don’t have any university debt 😂
@@slimyish Yeah.
Where are you working btw?
(contry and city)
Just curious
@@thefox4944 I’m in Sydney Australia, how about yourself?
The Bus seems like the best game, since it actually gives you a real city to drive in.
It's crazy how real it feels, given I live in that city.
same
I also live there
max respect. his review is spot on... its the same feeling i get from them. i have 21 and 18.. and end up playing 18.
one problem i have with eurotruck and all the bus sims.. is the damage.. and punishment feels nonexistent!
n
Good points. Should have also added Tourist Bus Simulator, also from TML Studios (Fernbus, The Bus). I say this because TBS has the management aspect too. I have The Bus, OMSI and Lotus Simulator. To be honest right now, you´re better off getting a bus mod Into ETS 2. I still have to figure out how they add terminals and passenger routes In EST 2, but It´s there cuz I have seen It. Way better FFB In EST 2, so the sensation of driving Is more alive then any mentioned here. After all, they do call them simulators don´t they!
Anothwr OMSI2 fan here reporting in. Just wanted to say I appreciated this comparison, and chuckled on numerous occasions. Well done on some excellenr commentary coupled with juuust enough british humour. Cheers ears.
To be honest - I have all 3 games and I play Fernbus the most. It’s really fun driving around and dealing with all these different things etc. The Bus is good but it’s easy to just get bored quickly. Same with Bus Sim 21.
Can you help with a link website to fernbus simulator because i get problems with dlcs
Was going to buy bus sim 21 but I’m glad I saw your review . Glad u was honest love the language made me 😂
You’re welcome lad!
Mate, you should be an Aussie. Your down to earth analysis and beautiful, descriptive language is a wonder to behold. I loved the review and managed to wake my wife up several times when pissing myself laughing. Best review of anything I've seen in a while. Thanks mate! 🤣
Ah thank you mate. I’m actually surrounded by some lovely Aussie friends and we all give banter to each other. Hoping to get another video out in the next 48 hours!
Forgot to add… thank you so much for the comment. Not just for the lovely TH-cam algorithm but helps to know where my content is lacking!
Wtf has being an aussie got to do with it lol you can't beat British banter and comedy bro.
Agreed also Aussies drink fosters
Err... no. Fosters tastes like the pee pee of horses. People South of the New South Wales border drink Fosters. Anyone else found drinking it is brain damaged. True Blue Aussies drink Tooheys. I think Aussies in Queensland drink shark repellent.
I really loved your style of review! You earned yourself a sub.
Ive played Bus Simulator 18, Fernbus Simulator and The Bus, and I personally find The Bus to be the best one for me.
Ive spent 100s of hours, I bought the game the day it came out and wasnt disappointed.
They have improved the graphics a bit, added voice lines on ticket sales, added some new routes and implemented a line editor. There are two new buses, modding for maps, props in the cockpit and voicelines and skins. After all this time, I am still hyped out of my mind everytime new content gets launched.
I really love the alive-ness that you also mentioned in your video. They made the AI more agressive now, some will use the bus lane, change lanes without looking or change from turning lanes to straights while at a red light.
I would definitely say its 100% worth it if youre here for the bus-driver aspect.
Wonderful write up there mate and appreciate your sub too. Welcome to the gang!
@@cockneygamer Well, I really did write a novel there 😂
Yes The Bus us the best. Also Fernbus now. ETS2 with mods is good but driving feelings is not so good
Reggy and the boys surely know how to give the games justice, it was fun watching this episode.
Thank you Kinyera lad, appreciate the comment as ever and glad you enjoyed it!
@@cockneygamer My pleasure. Waiting on more game reviews from Reggy and the Boys.
This is my fav I played it over at my friends and I'ma get it soon and the fact you can get out and walk is a very cool detail
Great review! It seemed to me though that you you were going to rank Fernbus ahead of BusSim 21. Your comments are more positive with fernbus than they were with BusSim 21
I think now it's time to compare these 3 games again, especially considering the price/quality ratio. Because for the last 7 months, the quality has hardly changed, but the prices does..:-)
Bus simulator 21 does have a radio no singing just must you have to find it in the cabin there is 2 options for driving simplified were the computer helps you or realistic I have noticed the bus fighting and it can be harder to brake and can over steer when turning
Bus sim 21 is so good, BUT i started playing this week, and i already lost 2 profiles, both having hours and hours of driving... Sometimes the loading screen (when the black bus PNG appears on your screen) is just getting stuck, and you can Never load that profile again.... Sucks
Funnily enough the only actually realist bus sim - OMSI 2 - isn't on the list ! It's the ONLY one which sounds 100% realistic and which handles as realistically as possible (especially for an indie game made by 2 people)
In nutshell. If you know euro truck simulator 2 by SCS, just wait for Coach simulator by SCS. It will be game changer. They have already added bus stop in every single city in ETS2 so this is ready. I will not mention real/fictional maps that have already bus stop too (very known map Grand Utopia in scale 1:1). We just need to wait when SCS will actually to have time to make this happen. But they have full attention to ETS2 and ATS for now.
I downloaded bus sim 21 yesterday free on ps4 and it's still glitchy and crashed twice
Straight up OMSI 2, followed by The Bus. BS21 come in at third - which should wow many people, considering the state of it.
I gotta say the best looking rain I've seen is from an Assetto Corsa mod (racing game)
Bus Simulator 21 does have a radio, it's not via the menu though but controlled in the bus on the actual radio.
Can you make please a video review can of like this one for Tourist Bus Simulator ?
I'm missing OMSI 2 from this list. Nothing can beat it. I tried The Bus, Fernbus Simulator, Bus simulator 21,18 and none of them are as good as OMSI 2.
fr
does anyone know any non browser-based bus simulators that are free for pc ?
As an open world pretty nice game Bus Sim 21 would win for me, but after a couple of hours i always lose my profile, loading screen will stuck on the screen when i change vehicle, then the savegame will never loads back again... Thats what ruined it.
There is a radio in Bus Simulator 21 busses cabs and there is many settings that you can put on and off but the AI is extremely shitty and I feel like the lanes are too wide.
Ive not tried the bus but i love fernbus simulator. I also love ETS and ATS
ive got bus simulator 18 and the bus, bus sim 18 is alright, the bus is okay but im hoping itll improve
I could never get Fernbus to look good, even on high settings. I've found that with other games by the same company as well.
Are there any left hand drive uk bus sims with round abouts on and the steering on the right hand side of the bus?
omsi with mods
Now I already own THE BUS but I think I'm gonna grab fernbus as well, only to be able to do both city driving and long distance bus travels, I've started to play alot of EuroTruckSimulator 2 with one of my friend and I like the long distance travels. I wanna try long distance travels but with a bus instead, and the Fernbus should feel kinda the same as TheBus when it comes to the feeling of the vehicle. Great reviews thanks 🙏❤😊
Great combo that mate. Yes Fernbus is as much ATS in a weird way.
bro is a menance to road safety
Played any of these? What are your thoughts?
I don't mind bus simulators 21. the thing is they don't come with the stress of actual the professional job however in saying that since 2020 covid at least in Australia there's no cash ok no tickets contactless transport cards. And in Brisbane Queensland we have a brand new bioarctic call the Metro as far as the rest of world goes hours is actually the smallest but it would not be nice to see a bus simulator with a bio Artic in it yes standard 18 metre Arctic. Even though in my opinion it's actually harder to drive a rear steer tag they don't bend in the middle like an Arctic.
Omsi stays nr 1. no one can beat it. Giving the fact that omsi has more variety. U have ZF / Voith gearboxes w realistic sounds, realistic door sounds, engine sounds, etc. whilst all the other games mentioned here dont have.
which has FFB for Moza? anyone knows?
school bus exstenion is worth buying but it adds 12.00 to your purchase but its almost like having 2 games in 1
Omsi 2 is the best bus simulator in all areas. Many mods, realistic physics, can be configured in many ways and can be adjusted reasonably well to the possibilities of the equipment you use. There are also disadvantages: a 32-bit engine ensures that the performance will never be great. Furthermore, sound handling is a real weak point, although you don't hear many users talking about it. Omsi is therefore at number 1. A good contender for the more recent additions is The Bus. Here too there is a growing realism in the experience. If TML continues to develop the bus as it is now, it could well become Omsi 3. But before that happens, a lot of water still has to pass under the bridge.
I am just going to wait for Bus Simulator 24
Until my death
OMSI 2. Not the prettiest looking but the most complete (and modded)
Can I know name best for bus simulator
The bus wil l be the new Gen Omsi 2 ...omsi is so full of lag and bugs its a shame it was left to the state its in! omsi was the go to, the bus will dominate from now on!
Mobile support accessible ?
ok here are my opinions. one i havent play fernbus so i cant make a opinion on that. bus sim 21 is not the best one it feels like your driving on ice and not a road and the steering wheel support is not the greatest because it doesnt sync up with my wheel and the game animations not good and the city feels dead like your driving in the walking dead. The Bus it doesnt feel like your driving on ice and the graphics are stunning and the steering wheel support is better than bus simulator 21 and i like the endless routes and i think The Bus has the best potential and overall the best one
you're absolutely fucking hilarious😂😂😂
What about tourist bus simulator?
Graphics are NOT everything as regards to a game, sure they help... but take a look at why the flight simulator called Falcon (now available for free called Falcon BMS) is still going even after all these years (the original was released in the 80's)... and that's because it has a dynamic war campaign that changes each time you play it... the graphics are average compared to the latest flight sim games like MSFS, DCS World, X-Plane etc... but what they cannot match is its gameplay.
Charging £30 for an early access game is a ******g joke!
I personally liked Bus Sim 21 (first bus sim I played)
What's that movie at 1:28?
The Inbetweeners! British comedy show and can be found d o Amazon prime in the US!
people walk slow to make you feel like your driving faster than you really are
new title, angry brit complains bout bus bus games (this is a joke, thanks for the reveiw)
😂 Haha, very fair!
these games have passengers as one of the pillars, you can't make these half assed models and call it a day, they all need to work better on the human models, they're crucial, bus carry people! if the people are unrealistic, it's not a good experience!
you only see half of windshield ......
The bus is it controller supported (Xbox controller)
Yes, but I am not sure it works great. Maybe the wheel has spoiled me but I had to send it back and had no wheel for a few months, tried the bus and the steering felt very awkward.
why are all bus simulator german?
Bus simulator 21 feels like you're driving on a fortnite map
Graphics are awful and maps so unrealistic
bus simulator 18 is literally my favourite bus simulator out of 18 & 21, 21 was such a let down for me
Completely agree mate! Was a disappointment for sure
Where can I download it?
All of these games should be on Steam my good man.
fitgirl-repacks
Fernbus settlements look alike. Engine is good so it's sad they didn't do more with it. So repetitive..
Verdict: The best bus simulator is still ETS 2 with bus mods.
thankyouu
the bus city feels alive cuz its build on a real city lol
scs should now have bus with ets and ats
At first I thought bus simulator 21 with pretty good. I enjoyed the business building side of it got to about 8 buses and that's when it went to shitt all the AI drivers started crashing into each other or into passengers or cars in the crashing into the buildings and driving off the road turned into glitch Mayhem
Tou forgot omsi 2
omsi 2
❤️❤️
I hate how in every game there are no hands of the steering wheel.
Talking about best bus simulator while not saying a word about OMSI 2... it's like talking about current best player in football and then you don't say a word about Messi or Ronaldo.
I play bus sim by downloading bus mods in ets2, simply the best compared to other three craps
I’ve heard a lot about these mods. I hear they are great and really should try them out.
@@cockneygamer
Yup
@@rakeshkrishnan1099yea play bus sim on ets2 is better
17:34 nom de gime
OMSI 2 by a country mile!
The Bus is the best but its not for my low pc
it's overrated imo I don't like the way the vehicle operates
Love from India..nice video.Even though I have played all genre PC games back from Gta..but My love for bus simulator is eternal.
Is there a way I can get a job as a bus driver in Aus/Germany based on simulator experiences?😅
OMSI 2 still the best bus game.
Bus sim Indonesia
So your complaining because you have to indicate like you would in real life it’s a real life simulation SIMULATION
No I’m not complaining about indicating. I’m complaining that the scaling or more to the point the way the roads are designed to cross over means it’s literally all you do. Real life driving just isn’t like that… not even in a city like London.
@@cockneygamer indicating simulator
The bus is best
Fernbus is the best bus simulator
😂
I prefer a way The Bus now, then Fernbus with updates. BS21 is a piece of s…
nah man when you said bus sim 21 is better than the bus AND Fernbus I lost all my thrust in this review
Not sure what part you’re referring to?
I said buy Fernbus and Bus Sim 18 (not 21) because as a combo they are the same price as The Bus and Bus Sim 21 but deliver way more content between them.
16:33
@@cockneygamerWell Well Well, seems like I clicked off a bit too early. I was mostly pointing out that you have bus sim higher score than the others, but yeah I kinda get you know. Thanks for the quick answer
No I’m glad you said it as you had me scared! Simply because I agreed with what you were saying and I don’t remember thinking something so tragic. For me Bus Sim 21 is a massive let down.
SIMT Simulator doesnt have good graphic but theres buses,trolleybuses and trams. Bus Sim 21 seems to be nice game but theres no mods by fans anymore. its cringe
Rofl.. People play simulators like this instead of getting payed for doing it irl?
m8 wheres omsi, games like 10 years old, runs fucking terrible and and just generally such a pain to use if youre new yet its still the most realistic when it works if you are not just a graphics and fps andy😭
imo fernbus is an absolute cashgrab and is not even worth considering
i tried it and refunded after an hour, the game is horribly optimized with the choice of running ps1 graphics or playing a slideshow (on a pc that can easily manage most games on at least medium settings), the handling feels like garbage and the menu's are super unintuitive
i wouldnt want my worst enemy to experience playing that game
All of them are mediocre, unfortunately.
Very informative review.
Thank you Ghostman lad. Appreciate it. And thank you for hopping over from Midlife Gamer!
