graphics4 positive mentions
optimization4 negative mentions
  • Excellent driving physics and vehicle handling for both buses and trams, offering an immersive and authentic simulation experience.
  • High-quality vehicle models, detailed sound design, and atmospheric dynamic weather and seasonal changes enhance realism.
  • Unique combination of bus and tram simulation with management elements and options to walk or switch control to AI drivers, appealing to transport enthusiasts.
  • Performance issues and technical bugs persist, including crashing, stuttering, poor optimization even on high-end hardware, and problematic AI behavior.
  • Core gameplay problems remain unresolved such as unreliable tram switching and routing systems, confusing navigation without minimap, and restrictive station platform mechanics.
  • The game world feels empty and lacks dynamic life, with sparse passengers, limited traffic density, awkward pedestrian AI, and repetitive city environments reducing immersion.

  • optimization

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Optimization reviews are mixed but lean negative, with many users experiencing inconsistent frame rates, stuttering, and overheating issues even on high-end hardware. While some report decent performance around 55-60 FPS on ultra settings, others find it significantly worse compared to similar simulators, noting little to no improvement in optimization or bug fixes from previous versions. Overall, performance remains a major concern that hinders playability for many.

    • “Performance is decent: I get around 55–60 fps on mostly ultra settings.”
    • “I don't see an improvement in optimization compared to the original CTS Tram + Bus, but I see an improvement in content with the addition of weather and seasons.”
    • “I recently played the demo of Bus Bound and that one doesn't heat up my PC as much as this one; I use this for comparison of optimization.”
    • “I tested it on GeForce Now and experienced constant stuttering and freezing, and also on my laptop with RTX 4090.”
    • “Compared to other bus simulators like The Bus or Bus Bound, performance here is significantly worse.”
    • “Some of the issues from the predecessor are still there, and the performance is really lacking despite promised improvements.”

  • gameplay

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers realistic vehicle simulation and engaging mechanics but is hindered by issues like unbalanced braking strength and problematic tram switching and passenger positioning. Despite these flaws, some users find it better than similar titles and appreciate its overall graphics and gameplay experience.

    • “I like many of the mechanics of driving; the simulation of the vehicles from my untrained opinion is really neat.”
    • “Highly recommended to reduce the braking strength (gameplay settings) to 60%.”
    • “Gameplay is better than Bus Bound or Bus Simulator 21.”
    • “The biggest issue is still the core gameplay, especially the tram switching and routing system.”
    • “Passengers often stand in incorrect positions on platforms, which breaks immersion and basic gameplay flow.”
    • “Gameplay is not fun.”

  • graphics

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features good graphics with a pleasing aesthetic and higher realism compared to competitors, though performance can be mediocre and some visual elements like pedestrian placement and vehicle physics feel off. While it runs better than similar titles, medium to low settings may disappoint players seeking top visual fidelity.

    • “Graphics-wise, the game looks very good, and compared to competitor titles, it runs better.”
    • “And it looks quite high-quality in terms of realism and graphics.”
    • “The graphics and gameplay are very good.”
    • “However, if you do not like medium or low graphics settings, you will generally struggle no matter the PC. The pedestrians spawn at the very back of the bus/tram stop, which makes you run late, and the buses feel so light and bouncy.”
    • “The performance is still quite mediocre for not being that graphically intensive.”
    • “Graphics.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game’s stability is hindered by frequent freezes and buggy AI behavior, including problematic pedestrian actions and malfunctioning traffic lights that disrupt gameplay.

    • “I even tried playing it with my 5-year-old child, and he noticed the freezes and asked why the game was 'stuck'.”
    • “AI pedestrians can be buggy and need improvement.”
    • “Traffic lights are buggy... sometimes you have to run a red light because it just won’t turn green.”

  • atmosphere

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is notably enhanced by dynamic weather systems, adding depth and immersion compared to previous versions; however, some technical issues occasionally detract from the overall experience.

    • “Dynamic weather: the new weather systems are a massive step forward, adding a layer of atmosphere that was missing in previous iterations.”

  • monetization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the monetization somewhat misleading, particularly for newcomers encountering advertising on the store page, though some positive aspects are also noted.

  • story

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is hindered by repetitive and intrusive tutorial prompts, such as persistent instructions to interact with objects like the bus seat, which disrupt immersion throughout the gameplay.
