As far as the simulation and management side of things go, Tourist Bus SImulator does appear to have a lot to offer. I have emailed the developers to see if they can point me in the right direction. I am 90% certain that it is probably just me being dumb and not figuring out what to do next. So I still have “the first trip” job showing on my screen and the map is not showing any routes or any markers. But I could not access any new orders or even access the calendar to move time forward again. I went back to my office to see if I had to do something there. The game did display some information as if I had completed the order (passengers left behind, number of crashes, etc.) But the “mission” did not disappear or change to something else. I assumed that I had to do a trial run of the route first or something but after reaching the last stop nothing happened. I then checked the map and saw that the game had given me another stop to go to. But when I got there, there were no passengers to pick up. So off I go on my bus, checked the map for the first stop and away I went, excited to get my first passengers. Nope.Īfter picking up my first order, I could use the calendar in the in-game menu or go to the wall clock in the office to skip time forward to your appointment. Once you have picked up your bus, you need to drive it back to your company where you can then get your first order, “the first trip.” The first stumbleĪll well and good I thought, I’ve got my first order, I’ll go and pick up some passengers, take them to where they need to go and get some money to start building my business. This means hopping back into your car and driving to the dockside to pick it up. Once you have decided on your first bus, it’s time to go and collect it. You can buy your first bus by going to the computer in your office and selecting one from the second-hand bus sales screen.

So once you have driven to your company you then get another “quest” to buy your first bus. I am mainly focusing on the management and economy mode for this preview and subsequent review.

The second mode is where you can arrange schedules plot custom bus routes and generally just drive around in Freeplay.
