Tourist Bus Simulator is a simulation game developed by TML-Studios and PEDEPE, a team specializing in this genre. The publishing was taken care of by Aerosoft.

Mechanics

In Tourist Bus Simulator we observe the action from FPP. The title takes us to the Canary island of Fuerteventura (reproduced in 1:5 scale), putting us as the owner of a transport company. Our main task is to transform it into a bus empire, and our list of duties is really extensive.

While playing, we must first of all take care of a diverse offer for our customers; we can transport passengers along planned routes, transport them from the airport to the hotel and back, or finally organize special trips. Nothing stands in the way of sitting in the driver's seat (the devs have prepared the MAN Lion's Coach and MAN Lion's Coach C buses, as well as off-road vehicles and service vehicles) and travel around the island on our own. The latter consists of twenty cities and beaches, three marinas, as well as many kilometers of roads and serpentines; there is no shortage of collectibles, even in the form of hidden lockers.
