Detailed and realistic vehicle modeling and physics for both buses and trams, offering an authentic driving experience.
Unique combination of tram and bus simulation in one game, with features like dynamic weather, seasonal changes, and the ability to walk around the city and switch between vehicles.
Good sound design, strong potential for future updates, attentive customer service responding to bug reports, and an immersive atmosphere appreciated by transport simulation fans.

Severe performance issues including stuttering, freezes, and optimization problems, even on high-end hardware; crashes with certain DLC make some content unplayable.
High pricing for base game and especially DLC/season pass content, which is perceived as overpriced and anti-consumer, with complicated and expensive upgrade paths.
Core gameplay and simulation systems remain buggy and unfinished after multiple releases; issues include poor AI behavior, unreliable tram switching and routing, lack of meaningful city simulation or management depth, limited map size, and lack of mod support.

Optimization for the game is generally reported as poor, with frequent performance issues such as lag, stuttering, and inconsistent frame rates even on high-end hardware. While some users achieve decent FPS on ultra settings, many note that performance remains worse compared to similar simulators, highlighting a lack of significant improvement over previous versions. Overall, optimization is a major concern that impacts playability and awaits urgent improvement.
- “Performance is decent: I get around 55–60 fps on mostly ultra settings.”
- “Compared to other bus simulators like The Bus or Bus Bound, performance here is significantly worse.”
- “Performance drops: frame rate stability is inconsistent.”
- “The game suffers from severe performance issues on my system.”
- “I tested it on GeForce Now and experienced constant stuttering and freezing, also on my laptop with RTX 4090.”
- “The performance is still quite mediocre for not being that graphically intensive.”
gameplay
12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
33% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions
The gameplay receives mixed feedback, with enjoyable vehicle simulation and some fun mechanics praised, but significant issues like game freezes, limited map variety, and problematic tram routing/drop-off systems detract from the experience. It leans more toward arcade-style management rather than realistic simulation, which may not satisfy players seeking depth. Overall, while some find the gameplay engaging, persistent bugs and design limitations impact its playability.
- “I like many of the mechanics of driving; the simulation of the vehicles, from my untrained opinion, is really neat.”
- “Gameplay is better than Bus Bound or Bus Simulator 21.”
- “The graphics and gameplay are very good.”
- “This makes the new Tatra tram DLC basically unplayable for me, because closing the tram doors is a normal and necessary part of gameplay, and the freeze happens exactly at that moment.”
- “Map is tiny, in 3 hours of gameplay you basically have seen everything as there is not much variety in road design and building design.”
- “The biggest issue is still the core gameplay, especially the tram switching and routing system.”
graphics
11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
45% positive mentions, 28% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions
Users have mixed opinions on the graphics: some find them realistic and high-quality compared to competitors, while others feel they lack immersion and suffer performance issues on medium or low settings. The graphics are generally considered good but may be impacted by DLC pricing and technical factors such as updates or drivers.
- “The graphics and gameplay are very good.”
- “Graphics-wise game looks very good, and compared to competitor titles runs better.”
- “And it looks quite high-quality in terms of realism and graphics.”
- “At least OMSI achieved something with bad graphics - the map still looks plausible and immersive, no matter how bad the graphics are.”
- “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.”
stability
6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions
The game experiences significant stability issues, including complete freezes when closing doors in the new Tatra tram DLC and buggy AI behaviors such as malfunctioning traffic lights causing gameplay disruptions. These problems negatively impact the overall playing experience.
- “The game completely freezes when closing the doors in the new Tatra tram DLC.”
- “As soon as I close the tram doors, the entire game freezes completely.”
- “The game runs normally before this action, but it freezes completely when closing the tram doors in the Tatra tram DLC.”
atmosphere
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions
The atmosphere is notably enhanced by dynamic weather systems, adding depth and immersion compared to previous versions. However, some users experienced technical issues that occasionally detracted from the overall ambiance.
- “Dynamic weather: the new weather systems are a massive step forward, adding a layer of atmosphere that was missing in previous iterations.”
grinding
