Traffic is never nearly as bad as actual city traffic, and the cars move somewhat slowly, but that doesn’t mean they won’t get annoying as you try to get over to the bus stop. While wrestling with the bus’ controls, you’re also wrestling with traffic and routes as you try to stay on schedule.
Such quirks get annoying because the gameplay is centered around efficiency with timetables. But when it happened, I’d have to wedge myself away. Why I can’t just pull forward to get off a curb, I have no idea. Not only does this hurt your score, it also makes it difficult to move. More times than I care to admit, I drove the bus over a curb when rounding a corner to pick up and drop off passengers. The latter question proved to be the most problematic. What button is the blinker? Did I leave the doors open? Why can’t I move? There’s a lot to manage and remember, and condensing it all to the Joy-Con will be overwhelming at first. The game begins with a quick tutorial that teaches you everything from how/when to open doors to turning on lights to accelerating/braking. Bus Driver Simulator adheres strictly to its sim component, working as hard as possible to dock you for doing anything other than efficiently picking up passengers and dropping them off. That’s not to say it doesn’t try or that the developers aren’t dedicated to the cause. But if you’ve been eagerly refreshing the Nintendo eShop hoping to finally get the definitive game for city bus immersion, I’m afraid to say Bus Driver Simulator is not it. The world is a big place, after all, so it’s safe to assume there’s a market for everything. I’m sure there’s a market out there for a bus driving sim.
