Metro Bus Sim Strategy Guide

Top Tips

• Ease off the gas well before sharp mountain bends — that long 8x8 chassis does not appreciate sudden corrections.
• Watch your speed the second traffic thickens downtown, because a tap too hard on the brakes still won't stop a rear-end collision if you're going too fast.
• Line up with the curb slowly when picking up passengers; a crooked stop wastes time and looks sloppy.
• Use the handbrake on steep descents rather than riding your regular brakes the whole way down.
• Check mirrors mentally before lane changes, since this bus takes up a lot more room than a car does.
• Plan your route glance by glance instead of rushing — hilly roads punch back hard if you're careless.

You're behind the wheel of a double-cabin city coach, hauling commuters across a map that swings between dense urban streets and winding mountain routes. The job sounds simple on paper: pick up riders, get them to where they need to go, repeat. In practice, that long wheelbase makes every turn a small negotiation, and the hills throw in blind crests and tight curves that punish anyone treating this like an arcade racer. Traffic in the city adds its own pressure, forcing you to slow down and thread through cars rather than barrel past them like the road is empty. It's less about speed and more about handling a vehicle that genuinely feels big under you.

Controller & Keyboard Guide

• W or the Up arrow gets the bus rolling forward.
• S or the Down arrow slows things down or throws it into reverse.
• A and D, or the Left and Right arrows, steer through city lanes and mountain switchbacks alike.
• Space triggers the handbrake, handy for sudden stops or holding position on an incline.
• Combining gentle steering with early braking keeps the long body of the bus from swinging wide on tighter corners.
