    • “Annoying music is by default, no option to turn off.”

The graphics are the same as Bus Simulator 2015, which is only 90 MB, while this game is 290 MB. For what purpose, I don't know. The gameplay is too boring; there are no adventures in this game as you always get the same type of map, which has a highway and then ends up in the city. Bus Simulator was better as it had an adventurous map like Berlin.”
    • “The graphics of the game and the gameplay are very poor, and I am sure that the developers should improve it.”
  • monetization71 mentions

    • “Very bad experience... it used to be a good game, but now it has so many bugs and glitches. It stops navigating in the middle of the mission, and the funniest thing: while driving, I suddenly got off-road and directly headed to the sky, and my truck started skydiving at 1098 km/hr. Try to fix it and help me bring my truck down to the roads again.”
    • “The game is nice but it is very buggy. Whenever I spawn into my truck, it rolls around. I tried the SOS option to reset my position, but the truck spawns normally and then starts to roll around again.”

    • “Very epic graphics and so many missions, I really love it.”

    • “Worst game ever! I played in my lifetime; poor graphics, missions take so long, and it disconnects automatically. Don't download this game; it's the worst!”
