The game really has potential, but I have some ideas that could be included in its full release.
Such as a few maps perhaps Warsaw or Oslo? Some more MAN, Mercedes, and Solaris buses. Real snow physics aka slipperiness wheelspin and all that. Another thing is when a bus comes to its destination it could wait 10 minutes before setting off again just like Poland has it and I'm sure Germany does too. Otherwise, the game is amazing and I highly recommend it.

The Game Is Good But It's Still In Early Access So [The Bus] For Now It's Not Worth £30 & OMSI 2 Is 1000 Times Better. But Until The Game Will Be Fully Released I Will For Now Recommend OMSI 2 Or Newer Better Features.

I remember when i bought this game and Fernbus with big hopes. Fernbus is still unoptimized, buggy and far from finished after almost 10 years. Soon it's gonna be 4 years since The Bus has released, pretty sure it's going to share the same faith with Fernbus.

So disappointed... Bought this game when it first dropped in 2021 and it's still classed as early access!
It is a nice looking game but is still woefully optimised for PC. I can get between 40-70 FPS but the game still doesn't use my RTX 4070ti Super, instead it uses my integrated Graphics from my Ryzen 9 CPU
I have changed all the settings in my Nvidia control panel but still the GPU utilization sits at 0%
I'm done, TML-Studios and Aerosoft are taking us all for mugs now so this game is going in the bin along with Tourist Bus and Fernbus...
Terrible
