Bus Simulator 3D

Bus Simulator 3D puts you behind the wheel of a city bus. You follow the route, pick up passengers at stops and try to reach the last stop without crashing in traffic. Free in your browser.

About Bus Simulator 3D

The garage holds 13 vehicles, from minibuses to coach buses and articulated models that bend in the middle. Maps range from short neighborhood loops to long city routes. Other cars and pedestrians move on their own out on the road, so you really have to watch at intersections and crosswalks.

The simulation side is detailed. The bus takes damage when it crashes, the dashboard tracks speed and fuel, and you need to refuel when it runs low. Turning a long bus in a tight corner is very different from a car: turn in too early and the rear end clips the curb. That is why the game rewards calm, planned driving over speed.

Why do kids love this game?

Driving a huge bus, honking the horn and switching the camera to look from the driver's seat are things kids cannot do in real life. As new buses unlock, the garage becomes a collection of its own.

Is this game safe for kids?

Crashes only show up as damage on the bus, with no blood or harsh scenes on screen. The game also has a multiplayer mode with chat, so younger kids should turn it on only with a grown-up nearby.

1. Pick a bus from the garage and start the route.
2. Press W to speed up and S to slow down or reverse.
3. Steer with A and D.
4. Pull the handbrake with Space to stop fully at bus stops.
5. Turn the camera with the mouse and change the view with C.
6. Honk at cars in your way with G and pause the game with Esc.
7. On a phone, pick tilt, buttons or steering wheel controls, and swipe the screen to look around.

• Take wide turns: with articulated buses, start the turn once you are in the middle of the intersection so the rear does not hit the curb.
• Approach stops slowly: slowing down over the last few meters makes it easier to line the door up with the stop.
• Watch your fuel: check the gauge before a long route, because running dry ruins your run.
• Switch cameras: in narrow streets, the outside view helps you see how long the bus is.
• Obey traffic: waiting for other cars at an intersection is faster than paying for repairs.

• 13 buses: different vehicles from minibuses to articulated models.
• Live traffic: cars and pedestrians move on their own.
• Damage and fuel: crashes and fuel use are tracked.
• Three control types: tilt, buttons or steering wheel on mobile.
• Multiplayer mode: drive on the same map with other players.
• Varied routes: from short neighborhood loops to long city lines.
