Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Same day: best DE #51, worst PL #97 · 2 markets collected
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3.71/day in the week to Sep 5 → 3.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About

With changing weather and different seasons, every trip is exciting and challenging. Whether you prefer a relaxed run on schedule or the hustle and bustle of a big city, The Bus brings you as close as possible to the feeling of driving a bus in Berlin.

Reviews
Schade dass in 2026 immer noch keine vernünftige Umsetzung eines Bus Simulators möglich ist. Auf höchster Einstellung kann man die Räder während der Fahrt nicht erkennen, Beschleunigen und Bremsen ist unrealistisch und insgesamt ist die Grafik für ein so teures Spiel enttäuschend.
The game is great, simulates buses very well. The bad side is that it simulates a slideshow (10-15FPS) randomly, doesn't matter on settings, (lower settings are somehow worse?)

I recommend The Bus, but only just. It has a lot of potential and some solid features, but it still feels like a work in progress. The game comes across as if it’s still in early access, with noticeable areas that need improvement. The good: The Bus is a fun game to play. It’s easy to get into, and just driving around the city and completing routes makes for an enjoyable experience. The map is very detailed and feels well made. The city looks realistic, and there’s a lot to see while driving, which makes it more interesting. Another good part of the game is the range of buses. There are different types to choose from, which adds variety and keeps things from getting repetitive. The size of the map is also a big plus. It’s large enough to make routes feel longer and more realistic, which adds to the overall experience. The bad: One issue in The Bus is the AI pedestrians. They can phase through objects, especially around the bus doors, which breaks immersion and looks unfinished. The game is also poorly optimised at times. Performance can drop, which takes away from the overall experience. AI drivers aren’t very realistic either. They often hit the kerb when turning, which makes traffic feel unnatural. The physics aren’t as good as OMSI 2. They’re not terrible, but they don’t feel as refined. The horns also don’t sound very good and could be improved. Overall: Overall, I like the game, but mostly because of where it’s set, and I’m not too fussed about physics. If you do care about physics or the other issues mentioned above, it’s not worth £35 right now. You’re better off waiting for a sale or until the game is more polished.
It's okay but obviously will never compare to the likes of Omsi. I wouldn't necessarily say its worth the asking price either if you can get it on a sale or buy from loaded then do so. Overall the game has a very tacky feel to it alike to construction simulator etc. Physics are shockingly poor but at least the steering has improved since the likes of fernbus when using a wheel.
Jogo é muito bom, superou minhas expectativas! Achei que não rodaria no meu Pc, devido as especificações e comentários, mais está rodando tudo no Ultra e sem problemas a 60 FPS! Bugs? Claro que tem, mas é aqueles que deixa o jogo horrível? Não, dá para relevar, se você não for um FRESCO! Valeu cada centavo, espero que melhore mais do que já é! Que venha novos mapas, linhas e ônibus!
I really wanted to enjoy The Bus, but the optimization completely ruins the experience. Even on a high end PC, the game suffers from constant stuttering, FPS drops, and inconsistent performance. I've tried changing the graphics settings, but it barely helps. The game has a lot of potential, but the current optimization makes it difficult to recommend. I hope the developers focus on improving performance because, right now, it's the biggest thing holding the game back.
Für diesen Preis ist die Verfassung des Spiels eine absolute Unverschämtheit. Permanente Unreal Abstürze, Freezes. Glitches überall. KI fährt durch einen selbst durch, bauen Unfälle, kennen die Verkehrsregeln nicht. Das Spiel an sich macht Spaß und es sind gelungene Übergänge in den späten Abend hinein. Das Spiel ist leider dermaßen verbuggt, dass man vorsichtshalber Speichern muss. Nur wegen dieser technischen, katastrophalen Umsetzung würde ich es derzeit noch nicht empfehlen
Als gebürtiger Berliner finde ich das Spiel persönlich sehr gut gelungen. Gerade das Fahren in vertrauten Umgebungen macht dadurch noch mal mehr Spaß. Habe das Spiel bereits sehr früh in seiner Entwicklungsphase gekauft und war schon recht früh vom Spiel überzeugt. Es ist zudem sehr einsteigerfreundlich, was ich im Vergleich zu OMSI 2 (leider) nicht behaupten kann. Die Grafik finde ich auch sehr schön und die Wettereffekte sorgen für eine gute Atmosphäre. Mit der Performance bin ich persönlich auch zufrieden, bedenkt man, mit welcher Hardware ich spiele. Ich spiele aufm 55 Zoll TV mit 4k Auflösung.

This is the most unoptimized game i have ever come across. 5 years you accomplish nothing, play with rtx 3080 and intel 14900k and i get 25fps and a massive spikes.
👌Titulo dessa analise é: 13 minutos d puro sofrimento e angustia 👌 - Cara comprei pq falaram q lançou agora d forma oficial. - O jogo e muito feio e muito mas muito mal otimizado. - Foram 13 minutos dirigindo onibus da pior maneira possivel, 13 minutos d angustia. - Testei no BAIXO, MEDIO, ALTO é o desempenho foi pessimo d mais, grafico no baixo e o jogo morrendo no desempenho dentro da garagem sai para a cidade e piora. - Testei no EPICO so para ver e claro alem do FPS baixo nem quis carregar as texturas. - O desempenho no MEDIO e pessimo tbm muitas quedas de FPS a cada 1 segundo. - A jogabilidade e ate legal, mas a condução do onibus e igual joguinho meia boca feito para celular. - Tem muito o q melhorar esse jogo e nem deveria ter saido do beta. - E não eu nao recomendo nem 108 reais muito menos na promoção por 45 reais.
