About this game
Build your own depot from scratch and create your personal bus routes in City Bus Manager. Play in your own hometown or any famous city in the world. Recreate the official bus network or change it completely to your preference.
Did you ever think your local bus schedule sucks? This is your chance to show that you can step it up. Connect all the Points of Interest and see your passenger numbers grow. Buy new buses and hire staff to make sure you can keep up with your schedule.
Take care of your buses in the repair and washing stations to make sure they meet your customers' demands. Build a Service Center to sell tickets directly at your depot and engage with your clients. Get the best passenger reviews and lead your bus company to a prosperous future!
Whether its your home town or any world-famous city - it's in the game. 100% based on actual OpenStreetMap data including all the specific Points of Interests. The passenger simulation and bus route travel time is also based on real data. Recreate the existing lines or come up with completely new set-ups, it's all up to you!
Build everything that a good running bus depot needs. Parking slots, garages, warehouses, maintenance and washing stations are needed to take care of your vehicle fleet. But you also need offices, restrooms and a kitchen to take care of your staff. Also don't forget about the Service Center to sell tickets and connect with your customers. Choose from different environmental objects and furniture to match the depot to your style.
Clean and secure buses are mandatory for the future success of your company. Make sure your buses match the customers' expectations. Buy spare parts to repair your buses and make sure to schedule your maintenance work wisely between shifts to keep your vehicle fleet fit for service and to reduce downtimes to a minimum.
City Bus Manager arrives with more than 30 different bus models to offer the most realistic experience and allow you to adjust your bus fleet to your liking. Also completely new bus models can be created by players and be uploaded to the Steam Workshop (more than 400+ models till today). All buses can also be repainted either in-game or via an external graphic tool.
With the most recent updates players are now also able to share their own scenarios and/or bus networks via the workshop allowing players to create iconic custom-made scenarios for everyone to explore. Set yourself up for the challenge and succeed in City Bus Manager's most advanced scenarios.

Hire drivers, mechanics, office workers, ticket inspectors and many more to keep your company running. Take care of their needs so they can work efficiently and keep your costs in mind to scale up your business. Make the right choices and always keep the big picture in mind to set yourself up for success.
