What is Extreme Bus Driver
Ever wonder what it takes to navigate a lumbering bus through a maze of city streets? Extreme Bus Driver puts that skill to the test, blending route management with split-second decision-making.
How to Play
Use arrow keys or WASD to steer, the spacebar for the handbrake, and shift for fast acceleration. Pick up passengers at marked stops and follow the route to each drop-off before the timer runs out.
Tips for Playing
- Brake well before corners—a bus's weight makes it drift more than a car.
- Keep a close watch on your mirrors for cyclists and pedestrians.
- Prioritize smooth acceleration to avoid jostling passengers and annoying them.
- When traffic builds up, take a side street to maintain your schedule.
- Use the handbrake for tight U-turns in narrow alleys.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I control the bus?
You steer with the arrow keys or WASD, accelerate with the up arrow or W, and brake with the down arrow or S. The spacebar serves as a handbrake for quick stops.
What happens if I miss a pickup?
Missing a pickup will reduce your passenger satisfaction and can lower your score. The timer doesn't stop, so it's best to circle back quickly if possible.
Can I drive off the assigned route?
Yes, the roads are open, but sticking to the marked path helps you find pickups and drop-offs faster. Detours can save time if traffic is bad.
Is there a time limit for each level?
Yes, each route has a countdown timer. Finishing before it expires earns you bonus points, while running out ends the level.
Are there different buses to choose from?
As you complete levels, you can unlock new bus models, each with different handling and speed characteristics.
