Bus Games Online: City Routes, School Buses, Parking and Puzzles

Updated

Bus games online come in a few kinds: city routes where you pick up passengers at one stop and drop them at the next, school runs on a timetable, long intercity and mountain drives, parking a long bus in a marked bay, stunts on mega ramps, and puzzles where you never touch the wheel. The driving kinds share one rule: a bus is long and heavy, so slow corners, early braking and a quick camera change before a tight move get you further than speed. Below are the kinds and games from the bus games collection.

City routes: stops, passengers and traffic

  • City Bus Driver is the job in its plain form: pick passengers up at the bus station and drop them at the end point without hitting traffic or people. Its own advice is to keep switching camera angles, with C. It has multiple levels, bus skins and a bus store.
  • Villager Bus Simulator is about grabbing and dropping passengers. W accelerates, S brakes, R shifts into reverse and C changes the camera.
  • Bus Driving Master 3D takes passengers from busy city stops along highways and mountain routes, and asks you to follow traffic rules and avoid obstacles as the routes get harder.
  • Bus Driving Simulator 2024 drives through virtual versions of London, Paris, New York, Tokyo and Rome with no time limit on the stops. Follow the traffic rules and handle the doors carefully.
  • Metro Bus Simulator gives you a long double-cabin 8x8 metro bus on special roads through the city and the mountains. Slow down in heavy traffic to avoid crashes; Space is the handbrake.
  • Uphill Bus Drive has several bus models and three game modes. A map in the upper left shows the road to the closest bus station, Space is the handbrake and C changes the camera.
  • City Minibus Driver has a career mode where you take passengers to the stops on time and earn money for faster minibuses, plus a minibus racing tournament. Two players can share the keyboard: player 1 on WASD, player 2 on the arrow keys. B looks back and R fixes the bus's position.

Route habits:

  1. Slow down early. Metro Bus Simulator asks you to ease off in heavy traffic, and a long bus needs room to stop at the right spot.
  2. Change the camera at stops and in tight turns, as City Bus Driver suggests.
  3. Find reverse before you need it: R in Villager Bus Simulator.
  4. Read the map. Uphill Bus Drive marks the road to the next station.

School bus games

  • School Bus Driving Game makes you a 4x4 school bus driver: pick up the students who are waiting, drop them at school on time, follow the traffic rules, then take them home after school.
  • School Bus Simulator 3D adds dynamic weather and a day and night cycle to school routes, passenger pickups and bus parking. It has an off-road mode, several camera views and fuel management, so keep an eye on the tank.
  • Real School Bus Driving takes the school bus offroad and asks you to be on time. The arrow keys drive.

Intercity, mountain and offroad buses

  • Intercity Bus Driver 3D runs on a long freeway: drive to the pickup spot, then drop the passengers at the bus station of another city. There is a free ride as well.
  • Public Bus Passenger Transport Game drives a mountain tourist bus on hilly roads; reach the location on time and safely.
  • Off Road bus Transport Driver: Tourist Coach Sim puts 4x4 buses on mountain slopes with traffic, offers several camera views, and asks for precise parking on the off-road path. A driving guide at the start teaches the basics.
  • Dirt Bus Simulation Game crosses hills, dirt roads and rocky paths. The roads are not smooth, so drive carefully to avoid falling or crashing.
  • Army Bus Driving 2024 carries soldiers and equipment from deserts to mountains on tight schedules.

More mud and hills, with trucks instead of buses, are in truck games online.

Bus parking

  • City Bus Parking Challenge Simulator 3D is about tight spots in a busy city. WASD or the arrow keys steer and Space brakes.
  • City Bus Parking drives city and coach buses over mountain routes and bridges to parking areas, where you park safely in the marked space.
  • Bus Parking Cityscape Depot sets increasingly difficult parking scenarios through tight spaces. C changes the camera.
  • Bus Parking Simulator is an urban bus parking game on WASD or the arrow keys.

How to reverse into a bay, why the front of a long vehicle swings out, and when to switch the camera are covered in parking games tips, which also lists Bus Parking in the Port and 3D Bus Parking.

Bus stunts

  • Sky Bus Mega Ramp Drive sends huge buses over sky-high ramps, loops and gaps. Space fires the nitro for the big jumps, and S brakes or reverses.
  • Ramp Bus Stunt Simulator drives massive buses across extreme ramp tracks, with new vehicles to win as you go.
  • Bus Stunts Game and Bus Crash Stunts 2 are demolition arenas: crash the bus, lose parts of it and break it completely, then earn money for more vehicles. F is nitro, B looks back and C changes the camera.
  • Impossible Bus Stunt 3D runs buses at full speed on mega ramps, with more huge vehicles to win as you go.

Cars, bikes and monster trucks on the same kind of ramps are in stunt games.

Bus puzzles: no steering wheel

  • Bus Mania: Parking Puzzle moves each bus in the direction of its arrow when you tap it. Clear the lot in the right order and match passengers with the bus of their color.
  • Bus Jam Escape sorts passengers into buses of the same color, with new colors and obstacles as you go.
  • Overloaded Bus 3d Game is press and hold: let passengers on and off, and stop before the bus is so full it bursts.
  • Get On Board is a rush-hour crowd game played with taps.
  • Parking Space Jam guides stuck vehicles to the parking lot exit over more than 50 levels.
