Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Same day: best DE #51, worst PL #97 · 2 markets collected
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3.71/day in the week to Sep 5 → 3.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Transport passengers in the city bus simulation The Bus across multiple lines and in different buses through Berlin. The routes of Germany’s capital have been recreated realistically at a true 1:1 scale and offer plenty of famous landmarks to discover, including the Victory Column, the Brandenburg Gate, and Alexanderplatz. In the Scania Citywide LF and other officially licensed buses, you sell tickets to boarding passengers, handle heavy traffic, and bring everyone safely to their destination while the city around you stays in motion. With changing weather and different seasons, every trip is exciting and challenging. Whether you prefer a relaxed run on schedule or the hustle and bustle of a big city, The Bus brings you as close as possible to the feeling of driving a bus in Berlin.

Reviews
It's difficult to recommend this game to the people who love bus simulators. Barely 15 minutes in, and I had to spend most of my time configuring the nonsensical controls for it to work with an Xbox Controller. The optimisation is abysmal. Even with the lowest graphics, which are frankly ugly, the game runs at around ~40fps. With any of the higher graphics, it ends up being better looking, but it's not playable. The game also frequently stutters, either for short FPS here and there, but what bothers the most are the multi-second freezes that seem to appear randomly. The AI is also dumb as a rock, the cars don't react properly to the buses and frequently collide into it. They don't a lot of things that were already present in Bus Simulator 2016, let alone 2018. The collisions also seem wonky, like if the buses sometimes collide with things they didn't touch and sometimes they bounce as if they were on a gravel road. I will note some positives though. The city looks like an identical copy to Berlin. If it weren't for the horrible performance, I would love to drive around the city just to admire the beauty. The Simulation aspects are although not explained well, very complete and show a lot of elements that bus simulators lack (except OMSI 2). The buses are beautifully replicated and there are a lot of unexpected details. I am keeping the game, hoping it evolves towards positives and will modify my review if I have anything notable to say, but for now, I can't even recommend it for 10 bucks, let 40-50 bucks. Also, the camera movement might make people sick.

Crashed in the first ten minutes. Lost all my tutorial progress. Not doing that again. Clicking through menus to take out loans and sign contracts and then have it crash the first time I drive a bus. Decided to try free play. 40fps. Looks like ass. Sounds like ass. You understand very quickly why the reset button is easily accessed. I refuse to believe this game is in a finished state. And already there's another DLC that's 75% of the price of the full game. What is wrong with you, asking for people's money for this? Also I just noticed I played for 15 minutes and got an achievement for walking 50,000m. Ok.
das Grundspiel(Kern) Als ich mir diese Spiel gekauft habe, wahr ich etwas optimistisch das da vllt was draus werden könnte, Leider wird man hier als Kunde sehr schnell enttäuscht als bei Bussimulator 21 oder City transport Simulator, das spiel ist trotz der Angeblichen vollversionen und Updates für mich immer noch eine reine Beta die seines gleichen sucht da es hin und wieder mal zu direkten abstürzen nach dem start kommt. die Fahrzeuge. Die Auswahl an Fahrzeug ist Zwar gut, leider hier auch hier das Manko insbesondere bei den Solaris Urbino bussen(Galaxis) sind die sounds derart eintönig, das das fahren nach kurzer zeit (für mich) keinen spaß mehr macht. Der sound vom Scania Muss ich insbesondere bei den türen schon loben, das wahr es aber auch schon wieder. Fahrpläne. die Fahrpläne, insbesondere in den frühzeiten finde ich viel zu lasch wenn man gut durchkommt und man steht gefühlt immer über 1 min rum wenn man keine lust auf verfrühung hat, ich frage mich wirklich ob man sich an vorbilder gehalten hat oder einfach so random jene erstellt hat. ich könnte jetzt noch viel mehr auflisten aber das würde den Ramen Sprengen, wenn man Lust auf Berliner Flair hat, würde ich lieber zu dem Bussimulator OMSI 2 greifen und die karten X10 und Berlin 186 fahren, weil eine große gesamte Map in The Bus und einen nicht stabilen kern haben kaum Überlebenschanche bei solchen Simulatoren wie diese hier.
