The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim, with many users praising their stunning realism and attention to detail. Players appreciate the high-quality visuals, which enhance the overall gaming experience, although some have reported issues with lag and performance on lower-end devices. While the graphics are generally considered top-notch for a mobile game, there are suggestions for further improvements, particularly in optimization and variety of environments.
- “The game itself is amazing, the graphics are really stunning.”
- “The graphics are absolutely insane, passengers are realistic, cities are way too beautiful.”
- “First of all, the graphics are amazing for a phone and it is a little bit hard to get money but it's extremely realistic.”
- “For some reason on my device, the graphics of the environment and objects overlap each other, resulting in huge lag when it comes to the Interstate 95 level.”
- “Absolute horrible game. I tried it, I put max graphics but it didn't do anything. The controls are very laggy. I would never play again. In the pictures, it looks good but it's horrible and too many ads.”
- “The graphics are not good enough.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players express frustration over being forced to watch ads after nearly every action, with some noting that the game requires an internet connection to function, further exacerbating the ad bombardment. While some appreciate the game's graphics and mechanics, the intrusive advertising has led to a significant number of uninstalls and low ratings, with many players calling for a reduction in ad frequency or the option to play offline.
- “Affordable in-game purchase option.”
- “I love the game but try to do it no ads game or no internet game.”
- “Love the small details in the game like the potholes, roads under construction, people with umbrellas when it's raining, etc. However, it needs to work on its advertisements as you can't purchase all buses without watching ads or spending real money.”
- “The game is good overall, but the ads are kind of killing it.”
- “Way too many ads; you have to watch 3 ads before each level and then even more at the end of each level.”
- “The game requires an internet connection and there's a lot of advertisements.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its realism, smooth mechanics, and stunning graphics, providing an enjoyable experience for players. However, many users express frustration with slow progression due to high bus prices, aggressive penalties, and frequent advertisements that disrupt gameplay. While the controls and physics are well-received, there are calls for more customization options and improvements to enhance the overall experience.
- “Gameplay is more on the realistic side, with routes, passenger pick up, aggressive braking penalties, and even potholes on the roadway.”
- “Outstanding gameplay and graphics!”
- “Excellent graphics, smooth gameplay, varying road surfaces feels really good, the sound effects are top notch, the cities resemble the real world, nice attention to detail, standard, hybrid, electric, and articulated buses are a nice addition too.”
- “Customizability, especially regarding bus mechanics, is notably absent.”
- “Earning money for new buses feels slow, and the high bus prices cause delays in gameplay progression.”
- “There is also repetitive gameplay which makes anyone bored after playing for some time.”
stability

The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting frequent glitches, freezes, and lag, particularly after updates or during specific actions like turning on lights or completing routes. While some players have experienced smooth gameplay, the overall consensus indicates a need for significant improvements to address these stability issues and enhance the gaming experience.
- “Only thing I don't like is that after you play it for a while, it glitches for some reason.”
- “Terrible, just terrible. It always glitches from one part of the game to another. The start is fine, but when it is on the loading bit, it finishes loading but the screen doesn't. If you ever get to the bus part, you just see red and pink horizontal and diagonal lines. That's why I give it 1 star.”
- “Every second the game freezes and is laggy constantly. I can't even finish a mission on multiplayer.”
story

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth and variety, with players expressing a desire for a more engaging narrative akin to that of open-world games like GTA, but without violence. Many users find the missions repetitive and limited, suggesting the addition of more diverse routes and the ability to create custom missions to enhance gameplay. Overall, while the game is praised for its simulation elements, the narrative and mission structure leave players wanting more.
- “It is one of the best bus simulators I've ever played, with lots of buses, different locations, and gameplay. The graphics are up to the mark, and there is a great variety of missions and sceneries. ”
- “And also incorporate a story, ala GTA, but without violence.”
- “One of the best bus simulation games, which can actually compete with Bussid. The reason I gave it 4 stars is that the cost of a new bus is really high; we have to complete lots of missions to earn money and buy a new bus.”
- “But what ruined it for me was there's no cross-country trips; every trip is predetermined, so after a week of playing, those missions become boring and repetitive. If not for that, this would've been the best game. I'm going back to other bus sims where you control what you do and where you can go.”
- “After doing all missions, there is nothing left to do in the game.”
- “It would also help if players could create their own routes and add stops instead of just playing missions.”

Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many users highlighting significant lag issues and performance problems, particularly on lower-end devices. While some players appreciate the graphics and smooth gameplay on higher settings, there are consistent calls for improvements in controls, responsiveness, and resource management to enhance the experience across all devices. Many users feel that the game requires further optimization to meet expectations for a new release.
- “For a game this new to be really optimized, I can't say less!!”
- “Smooth gameplay, awesome graphics (working on all range of phones), well optimized, amazing game physics.”
- “No lag in high graphics, very optimized, good physics.”
- “Optimizations: it should be done as there are some lag issues.”
- “But overall, this version feels like a downgrade from previous versions because of poor optimization (lags in my Android 12, 4GB RAM even in lowest graphics), forced online mode for a 700+ MB bus sim game, and poor, less fluid controls (the steering is too small and less sensitive which makes the bus constantly hit the curb on sides).”
- “I think the game needs more optimization because it consumes a lot of RAM (3GB of RAM in just one route...).”
music

Players express a strong desire for enhanced music options in the game, particularly the inclusion of a radio system that allows for customizable music playlists and live radio stations. While the existing music has its fans, many find it distracting and suggest improvements such as the ability to play local music or adjust sound levels. Overall, the community feels that adding a more dynamic music experience would significantly enhance gameplay enjoyment.
- “It's really fun playing this with music on.”
- “I loved that old game's music.”
- “Only thing I'd like considered is an optional radio system to play music if we want, like a real radio with different types of music for different moods.”
- “A really nice game would have been better if I could actually save data to the cloud and remove that horrible music. I had to uninstall the game because I couldn't concentrate when that thing came on.”
- “Only thing I'd like considered is an optional radio system to play music if we want, like real radio with different types of music for different moods.”
- “It's a nice game, but it doesn't have more continents or countries. You should add a radio, and also the driver should get out of the bus and go to sleep. The radio should have any song you want.”
humor

The humor in the game is appreciated by users, particularly those who enjoy vehicles, with many finding the driving experience amusing and entertaining despite some technical issues. Players highlight the comedic aspects of navigating through crashes and the absurdity of repetitive maps, which adds to the overall enjoyment. However, some users express frustration with the game's monetization and ad interruptions, suggesting that while the humor is a strong point, it is overshadowed by these concerns.
- “There are some issues but it's still amazing; they need to fix the bugs like cars crashing because I've been waiting for it to go on, but it didn't because there was a car crash. It was so funny because I found a way to go forward, but I don't think that was the right one honestly haha. But anyway, this game is great and I hope you guys download it!”
- “Very funny! I love it so much when I am bored lol.”
- “High quality graphics and very funny to be driving a school bus on a city route.”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game challenging, particularly in earning money, which may deter inexperienced users. While some enjoy the grind, others feel that tasks like delivering buses detract from the overall experience, and frequent crashes further complicate gameplay. Overall, the game has potential but requires improvements in both grinding mechanics and stability.
- “Grinding for the second bus, which is supposed to have higher power and torque while being lighter, feels tedious and unrewarding.”
- “The game is good, but it crashes a lot. Grinding for money is pretty hard, and inexperienced players will struggle to grind effectively. Tasks like delivering buses make the game feel less like a bus simulator.”
- “While the graphics are good, the grinding mechanics could use significant improvement to enhance the overall experience.”
