We have a fresh video for you today, this time looking at the main features of Bus🚍Bound and how they work. While the game, at its core, is a driving-focused experience, there are plenty of ways to make your public transit dreams flourish.

Work together with up to three other people to improve the city around you. Everyone contributes to the host’s missions and goals to keep the spirit of collaboration alive.

Whether it is rain or shine, you have riders to service. The weather and day/night cycle work in tandem with the seven districts, passenger needs, and traffic flow.

The traffic in Bus Bound is modelled on real life. It is responsive to weather and time of day, as well as to random events such as someone driving erratically in front of you. Each of these elements will influence your passengers’ moods, which, in turn, can affect your route score.

There are seven districts that can each be unlocked and upgraded.

• Ashtree, the educational district

• The Strings, the music district

• Wright’s Crossing, the tourist district

• New Heights, the business district

• Belvedere, the cultural district

• The Tracks, the transit district

• Windfall Oaks, the suburban district

Each location will improve for the local citizens as you service the districts. Upgrade stops, unlock new routes, earn passive perks, and see each district evolve into a more vibrant, pedestrian-friendly space.

With each shift, you will generate goodwill with your riders to unlock new buses, visual styles, and upgrades. Beyond that, you can create your own routes with the line editor. Whether you prefer a relaxing driving experience or want to master and optimize every detail of your run, the freedom to make each trip your own is yours.

There will be 17 buses available at launch, including 10 licensed like the New Flyer Xcelsior 40ft CNG and the Blue Bird Sigma.

The city is waiting. WISHLIST NOW! ✅
