If you want to create your own routes and timetables through a city, you can do so. Players earn money from successfully picking up passengers on a pre-determined route with arrival and departure times money can then be spent on purchasing new buses. It’s definitely a simulator rather than an arcadey open world: care must be taken to open and close doors at the correct times, routes must be adhered to and even early departure times from bus stops will be penalised. Featuring the full game of Bus Driver Simulator 19 and its DLC, this is the first outing for the series on Nintendo’s little console. Which brings us to Bus Driver Simulator on the Switch. Not only that, but games such as Euro Truck Simulator 2 have shown how therapeutic and strangely satisfying the genre can be.
Though previously the preserve of extremely nerdy PC players – and, frankly, often looked down upon by other gamers – the rise of capable consoles has seen a wider acceptance of the genre. In my preview of Farm Mechanic Simulator a week ago, I noted that there’s been a rise in the number of oddly mundane simulators in recent years.
