What is Bus World?

You drive buses in a single-player simulation set in the 1986 Chornobyl Exclusion Zone and present-day southern China and Iceland. Scenarios take you from routine passenger trips to breakdowns and disaster evacuations; a free mode lets you create routes and drive around the maps.

For you if...

+you like setting your own routes between missions
+you want disaster response in a driving simulator
+you enjoy driving on narrow, hazardous roads

Not for you if...

−you want calm routes without disasters or breakdowns
−you prefer racing to transporting passengers
