Bus Simulator 16 is a city transit management game where you drive licensed MAN buses across five districts. You'll handle route schedules, passenger service, and traffic rules while keeping to a timetable. Core loop: pick up passengers, sell tickets, navigate construction detours and rush-hour congestion, deliver riders on time. Mess up—crash, run a red light, ignore wheelchair ramps—and you'll face penalties. Between routes, you manage your growing bus company: unlock new districts, hire AI drivers to run additional lines, and customize vehicles with paint jobs and decals. Advertising contracts generate passive income as your reputation climbs. Multiplayer lets friends join your network and share earnings toward fleet expansion. The game supports mods, so you can import custom buses or buildings using Blender and GIMP. It's detailed enough for transit nerds but accessible if you just want to follow a GPS arrow and open doors.
