Build your own bus depot from scratch and create your personal bus routes in City Bus Manager. Play in your own hometown or any famous city in the world with real map data. Buy buses, maintain them, take care of your staff and lead your bus company to become the #1 in town!
Players must build an efficient and profitable bus network by creating routes, scheduling buses, and managing various aspects of their bus depot. The macro-level route planning involves analyzing real-world OpenStreetMap data to design bus routes that connect key points of interest and optimize passenger demand. Factors such as route coverage, service frequency, and journey times must all be carefully considered. The micro-level depot management requires players to oversee daily operations, including assigning drivers to shifts, maintaining and repairing vehicles, managing staff, and ensuring buses are fueled and cleaned. The game's tech tree system allows players to research and unlock upgrades and improvements to streamline depot operations.
The game's open-ended approach to location selection enables players to recreate and optimize the bus networks of their hometowns or explore famous cities worldwide, using real-world map data. Robust bus customization tools allow players to design unique bus liveries and models, which can then be shared with the community via the Steam Workshop. The diverse array of bus types and environmental objects further enhances the personalization options. Random events and scenarios ensure a high degree of replayability, as players can approach each city or town with a different strategy and design.
The game aims to provide a realistic and authentic simulation of bus operations, drawing inspiration from real-world data and practices. Passenger simulation and bus route travel times are based on actual data, ensuring a more accurate representation of the factors that influence the transportation network. The management aspects, such as employee satisfaction, fuel costs, and maintenance scheduling, contribute to a realistic and challenging experience, as players must balance various operational factors to maintain a successful and profitable bus company. The cohesive and charming visual and audio design enhance the overall immersion and enjoyment of the gameplay.
The dedicated and engaged player community has provided valuable feedback and suggestions, which the development team has responded to by implementing regular updates and improvements. The Steam Workshop integration enables players to share custom content, further enhancing the game's growth and supporting the developers' commitment to the title.
