Your Bus. Your Route. Your Schedule.

In Bus Simulator 21, players get the opportunity to set up their own local transport company in the fictional US metropolis “Angel Shores”, as well as the European based city “Seaside Valley”, and prove their bus driving skills.

With an enormous number of officially licensed and lovingly recreated bus models, players can look forward to experiencing the most extensive part of the popular simulation game series in Bus Simulator 21.

In addition to a small, 2-doored, 12-meter-long, manoeuvrable Mercedes-Benz eCitaro e-bus with two axles, the game will also include a large three-door, 18-meter-long eCitaro G articulated bus equipped with three axles and plenty of space for numerous passengers - two real highlights for bus lovers! Next to this, players can hit the roads with a Citaro G, the agile Citaro K, an up-to-date version of the Citaro O 530, as well as a CapaCity and the extra-long CapaCity L articulated bus.

Just like its predecessor, Bus Simulator 21 will give players the opportunity to manage their bus company either alone as a single player or in a cooperative multiplayer mode together with their friends. Thanks to the two huge maps and its improved and even freer open world approach as well as numerous new, revised and expanded features, bus enthusiasts and simulation fans can look forward to the most extensive bus driving experience in the successful history of the popular game series!
