Tips for efficient bus operation in Bus Simulator: Ultimate

This game puts the player in the role of a businessman who has just started his own bus company.

From setting up offices to the feeling of driving a real bus, Bus Simulator: Ultimate offers the opposite feeling of racing games and most other driving games. Here, the player will drive a bus full of passengers with a lot of complex mechanisms built into it.

If you like driving as well as business management simulation games that provide a lot of details and features, you should definitely not miss this game. Let's refer to the following Bus Simulator: Ultimate tips for beginners to have the smoothest bus operating experience possible.

Get familiar with the bus operation

Bus Simulator: Ultimate provides players with a lot of controls and features to simulate driving and operating a bus full of passengers. So it's fundamental to learn and understand how the whole thing works right from the get-go.

Saving as many extra costs will be the key to initial growth. Therefore, initially work as a driver yourself instead of hiring employees.

Besides driving, gamers also have to pay attention to the needs of each passenger. To be able to do that effectively requires mastery of bus operations, from controlling doors and other amenities to driving long distances.

First, tap the viewable camera icon to test each mode before starting to move the bus.

Just below the camera icon is the radio icon. Tapping on it will open up 3 more icons. This function doesn't really affect the game and will just be a relaxing way for long rides.

The passenger icon located below the radio is the important thing to look out for. Clicking on this icon will display the passenger's comfort level and hunger level. These states will initially be at 100% and as the move begins, it will gradually decrease. The goal is to keep both statuses as high as possible because the overall rating for the ride will be affected by it.

Below the mirror will be the engine button, press on it to turn the bus on or off. Remember that after parking and picking up passengers, it will always turn off. The same applies to cases where the car stops quickly at a gas station and can only be filled with gas when the engine is turned off.

At the bottom right of the screen are the brake, accelerator and handbrake. Mostly people just use the brake and gas pedal, but if you need to slow down or stop immediately, keep in mind that the game has a handbrake feature to take advantage of.

At the bottom right of the dashboard are the controls for the luggage and passenger doors. As for luggage, gamers will only need to open it before passengers get on the bus and after arriving at the specified place.

Adjust settings

Bus Simulator: Ultimate is designed to come with the best possible control settings. However, those may not be suitable for every player.

As a result, some games offer ways for players to reconfigure the controls so that they can be customized to suit their preferences and playstyle.

At the bottom right of the home screen, tap the gear icon to check the settings. There are a lot of items to modify in the settings menu, but the important ones to keep in mind are control type and layout. Feel free to experiment and change the configurations to find the combination that works best for you.
