Outside of slapping up drywall or working at a cannery, it’s hard to think of a duller idea for a blue-collar sim than making players drive a bus. And yet that’s the strange appeal of Bus Driver. Piloting one of half a dozen different buses—from a school bus to a prison transport to a red double-decker—you have to complete your assigned routes, and you have to do it correctly. Forget to signal or stay in your lane, and you lose points; glide gracefully into the stops and stick to your schedule, and you score. The environment is full of convincing details, like snow-slicked roads or autumnal leaves, and the slow routine is soothing.

Unfortunately, the developers cut corners on what was already a thin concept. You drive the bus by clicking the arrow keys, which makes steering jerky and unsatisfying, though you can use a third-party steering wheel. You’ll quickly run out of routes, and Bus Driver has no long-haul or customization options. And it only comes with one view—third-person, from behind the bus—so the hardcore bus enthusiasts who were dreaming of a dashboard view will be sorely disappointed.
