The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the console-level quality and realistic bus interiors, while others criticize the lack of optimization, leading to lag and performance issues even on high-end devices. Users express a desire for more customization options and improved settings organization, as well as the need for better realism in vehicle details. Overall, while the graphical enhancements are appreciated, significant improvements are needed to enhance the overall experience.
- “Graphics is almost console level, thanks for that graphical enhancement.”
- “The graphics and simulation of the game are just so good.”
- “Nice game, the graphics are very good, the bus interior is realistic.”
- “It's very laggy on a pretty high-end device (Moto G Stylus 5G 2022); the frames drop randomly, even when you turn down the graphics all the way, it's still pretty laggy.”
- “The game is pretty unoptimized at higher graphics levels for lower-tier devices, often resulting in sudden lag spikes interrupting player experiences. The game is unable to even provide simple realism details in their buses, such as gearboxes and controls, which are incredibly unsuitable and inadequate in today's era of mobile bus simulators, with entirely free simulators capable of providing better driving experiences. The only real selling point of this game is its licensed buses.”
- “It is very impossible to make changes to some effects such as graphics and resolution.”

The game's optimization has received significant criticism, particularly on lower-tier devices, where players experience overheating, stuttering, and lag spikes, especially at higher graphics settings. Users have also reported issues with the settings menu responsiveness and inadequate control mechanics, indicating a need for improvements to enhance overall gameplay smoothness. While there is hope for future updates from the developers, the current state of optimization detracts from the gaming experience.
- “I trust the developers to fix the optimization issues, as they have done a great job in their previous games. I'm confident that the game will run smoothly soon.”
- “The game is currently unoptimized for lower-tier devices, leading to lag spikes that disrupt the player experience. It lacks essential realism details in its controls, which is disappointing compared to other free simulators.”
- “The game needs significant improvements in controls and optimization to work smoothly. I'm looking forward to a version that is as simple to use as other games in the collection.”
- “Unfortunately, I can usually only do one, maybe two runs at a time before my phone gets really hot, and the game starts stuttering, which makes driving very difficult and leads to penalties that otherwise wouldn't be incurred.”
- “The game is pretty unoptimized at higher graphics levels for lower-tier devices, often resulting in sudden lag spikes interrupting player experiences. The game is unable to even provide simple realism details in their buses, such as gearboxes and controls, which are incredibly unsuitable and inadequate in today's era of mobile bus simulators. Only the real selling point of this game is its licensed buses.”
- “This game has an excellent theme; however, the graphics are not optimized, the steering wheel is poor, and there are some bugs.”

While some users appreciate the game's overall quality, the technical problems detract from the experience.
- “Game is very buggy and lags a lot on this phone, no clear instructions on how to move the bus; it just told me to have a clear view around and get to know my surroundings.”
- “Firstly it was the steering issues, then it was when pulling into the bus stop it used to say I hit a person; now it freezes and then turns off.”
- “Game is the best game at times, but it has bugs and glitches this year.”
