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 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

[h1]Nach 6 Stunden insgesamt eher mau[/h1] [h1]Grafik[/h1] Grafisch kann sich The Bus wirklich sehen lassen. Berlin ist detailliert umgesetzt und gerade die Stadt selbst macht einiges her. Das Problem ist nur die Performance. Für die gebotene Grafik läuft das Spiel meiner Meinung nach einfach nicht besonders gut. Andere Spiele schaffen eine vergleichbare Optik und laufen dabei deutlich flüssiger. [h1]Busse & Map[/h1] Die Auswahl an Bussen ist ganz nett und es gibt einige unterschiedliche Modelle, mit denen man durch Berlin fahren kann. Positiv finde ich auch, dass man tatsächlich auf einer echten Berlin-Map unterwegs ist. Die DLCs habe ich allerdings nie gespielt bzw. auch nie gekauft, daher kann ich dazu nichts sagen. [h1]Fahrgefühl[/h1] Beim Fahrgefühl bin ich etwas zwiegespalten. Ich bin selbst kein Busfahrer und kann daher nicht beurteilen, wie akkurat sich die Busse tatsächlich fahren. Für einen echten Fahrsimulator wirkt es auf mich allerdings nicht unbedingt realistisch. Ein Bus-Simulator 21 oder (hoffentlich der neue) fahren sich angenehmer. Als Arcade-Simulation funktioniert es für mich aber okay. [h1]Wirtschaftskarriere[/h1] Hier liegt für mich eines der größeren Probleme. Die Wirtschaftskarriere ist extrem langweilig und bietet kaum Tiefe. Man bekommt zunächst erklärt, wie alles funktioniert, wo man welche Dinge findet und was man machen kann. Danach heißt es im Grunde nur noch „Mach mal.“ Ein wirkliches Wirtschaftssystem, bei dem man Entscheidungen treffen, sein Unternehmen ausbauen oder sich langfristig etwas aufbauen muss, fehlt mir. [h1]Abwechslung & Events[/h1] Auch hier hätte ich mir deutlich mehr gewünscht. Nach meinen bisher knapp 6 Stunden habe ich noch nichts erlebt, was beispielsweise auf besondere Tage oder Situationen reagiert. Kein „Heute ist Feiertag, deshalb ist besonders viel los“, kein „Sonntagmorgen, deshalb sind kaum Leute unterwegs“ oder ähnliche Dinge, die den Alltag als Busfahrer abwechslungsreicher machen würden. Die einzigen wirklichen „Events“, die mir bisher aufgefallen sind, passieren eigentlich nur nebenbei: Mal steht ein Feuerwehrauto oder ein Polizeiwagen mit Blaulicht auf der Gegenfahrbahn. Man selbst ist aber von diesen Events überhaupt nicht betroffen. Kein Umweg, keine gesperrte Straße, keine Änderung der Route. Man fährt einfach weiter und denkt sich "Oh nett. Blaulicht". [h1]Fazit[/h1] Nach insgesamt etwa 6 Stunden ist mein Eindruck eher mau. (Deinstalliert) The Bus sieht wirklich gut aus, bietet eine schöne Berlin-Map und eine nette Auswahl an Bussen. Auch das grundsätzliche Fahren funktioniert für mich okay. Aber gerade bei einer Simulation fehlt mir einfach Tiefe und Abwechslung. Die Wirtschaftskarriere ist langweilig, die Welt reagiert kaum auf besondere Ereignisse und die Performance ist für die gebotene Grafik ziemlich enttäuschend. Für mich aktuell eher etwas für den Sale (70 - 90%) als zum Vollpreis.

Just to tell you how good this game is, barely 20% of players have gotten the "Turn the bus on" achievement, meaning 80% of them never actually made it that far. Also, crashes.
Mal optimizado, ya van como dos años y siguen sin optimizar ni un poco el juego
I watched many videos of this game and felt it had somewhat realistic features, so I bought it and tried it on my system. First, there was constant stuttering and a ridiculous game engine that made even the world's most powerful PC struggle—even though my rig can handle any game at 4K on ultra settings; with this game, however, it felt like I was driving a car from the 1960s. Second, as someone with nearly a decade of experience in driving simulators, I felt the force feedback was designed for a standard controller, with the developers having no real understanding of how a steering wheel should feel. Third, the game's audio is cartoonish to the extreme—whether it’s the sounds of bus engines, people, or street traffic ai . I am absolutely shocked and regret buying it I should have listened to the many people recommending OMSI 2 or even The Bus bound instead.
Огромная куча пафосных обещаний, КАЖДЫЙ патчноут есть строчка про улучшение оптимизации, по итогу за несколько лет вообще ничего с этим не поменялось, физика вообще никакая, звуки унылые, так ещё и самое главное: ВМЕСТО УЛУЧШЕНИЯ МЕРТВЕЙШЕЙ ИГРЫ И ЕЁ ОПТИМИЗАЦИИ ОНИ ОКАЗЫВАЕТСЯ НАЧАЛИ КЛЕПАТЬ ДЛС!!! Я предзаказ игры сделал для того, чтобы меня начали доить на бабло?! 660 рублей за новый автобус, что обязано быть в игре бесплатно! 1100 за новую локацию, С УМА СОШЛИ?! Собрали бабла с продажи игры, понаделали пафосных обещаний, а по итогу контент стали пихать за бабло, это убого
50 НА 50
[b]-1#[/b] 45 FPS на средних настройка с DLSS быстродействие (а если идет дождь то в два раза ниже FPS) хотя на максимуме графика не лучше а FPS вообще 10-20 [b]-2#[/b] Кривое управление с жойстика, когда тормозишь двери открываються когда газуешь закрывають + фокусировка камеры на это [b]-3#[/b] Абсолютно картонный трафик, можно с собой пачку машин взять и толкать спереди сколько угодно (не наказывают вообще ни за что) [b]-4#[/b] Куча мелких технических недоработок, кривое игровое меню, настройки и тд, удобства 0 и непонятно где сейчас уазатель, на каком пункте меню [b]-5#[/b] Дефотные кривые анимации и модельки пасаживро и пешеходо (а это тут наоборот должно быть лучше чем во всех остальных симуляторах так как продаешь билет и близко их видишь) [strike][b]-6#[/b] Насколько я понял игра должна быть про перевозку пасажиров но это тут так для галочки за то "симулятору" вождения уделили всё свое внимание... хотя называется же The Bus, поэтому наверное вычёркиваем[/strike] [h1]P.S. Аркада Bus Boud на фоне этой игры, просто супер реалистичный симулятор автобуса/перевозок/трафика (ещё и нет таких проблем как тут по всем пунктам выше)[/h1]
eu queria saber o porque um simulador desse não roda bem no meu pc, eu testei do grafico ultra até o mais baixo, e advinha? todos tinha um mal desempenho e dava mt lag. Jogo totalmente mal otimizado e bugado.
Die Performance ist einfach grottig. Ständig auf aufploppende Gegenstände, Fahrzeuge etc. KI fährt einfach in ein rein.
As someone who loves buses, this game is one of the best bus sims out there. The attention to detail on the vehicles and city environment is nice, and driving through Berlin almost feels real. I really love how the buses take up pretty much the entire lane and I love how the buses feel. There are still features I’d like to see added, but the game is already a great experience and has a lot of potential.
