The concept is appealing, offering a grounded, methodical kind of progression where success comes from attention to detail rather than adrenaline or competition.

Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The driving experience is very nice, even with keyboard and mouse, the buses are very easy to drive and you only need a few keys to manage all the sub system (doors, heat system, kneel, parking brakes...). it's not top quality like OMSI, the bus seem too easy to drive in curves and the brakes seem too powerful, but I never drive a real bus, so I don't know...
