Fernbus Simulator 2017 is another simulator game developed by TML-Studios – the creators of such games as Bus Cablecar Simulator: San Francisco, Bus Simulator, and City Bus Simulator 2010. The game has been published on PC in August 2016.

Mechanics

In the game, a player assumes the role of a bus driver shuttling between several metropolises that include Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Stuttgart, and Dortmund. Apart from driving the vehicle, a player has to tend to a number of other things, such as selling tickets to passengers, who did not purchase their tickets beforehand. The main attraction in Fernbus Simulator 2017 is covering large distances on a variety of routes – the developers have recreated 20 thousand kilometers of roads. While driving a bus, one has to stay focused, as handling the large vehicle is not easy, the roads are quite busy, and not exercising enough caution might lead to an accident. Additionally, driving conditions are affected by the changing weather conditions, the day and night cycle, and changing seasons of the year. An additional treat for the players is the functionalities such as the possibility to make announcements to the passengers currently on the bus.
