Microsoft Bus Simulator 2004

As Boring As It Gets!

Imagine the thrill of driving down a congested freeway, your bus packed with noisy people, struggling to keep on schedule. Now, with MS Bus Simulator, it’s possible!

Features

Choose from several different bus lines, including Greyhound, Fargo, ND School Bus, and more.

· Travel on any highway in the US.

· Numerous AI cars, including PT Cruisers, tractor-trailers, oversize loads, Fords, Hondas, Chevrolets, and more!

· Fully functional, three-dimensional AI deer.

· Taxi cab drivers use Boston driver tricks (driving on sidewalks, cutting you off at intersections, running red lights, etc.).

· AI policemen make sure you obey the speed limits.

Rated B for Boring.

Hey! Train Sim isn't boring, you just have to really love trains.

Train Sim 2 does look promising.

If you think driving a bus is boring, you obiously haven't been in the Toronto area. Every time I get into my car, it's like riding a thousand of the scariest roller coasters. For more excitement, take a Montreal taxi.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

I have the MS train simulator. At first, it was more complicated to get those things moving than to take off in a 747!! Grin

I don't know about the bus sim, but a serious truck driving sim would be welcome. I don't mean that Hard Trucks crap either. I mean a REAL truck sim...
