We begin by choosing where to play and this is very exciting, because City Bus Manager allows you to play in pretty much every location in the world! They’ve got some fancy open source map data so you can play where you live, where you grew up, wherever you like! We of course choose the mighty Northampton, Great Britain, as the place where we set up our new depot.
We then have to build up the depot, including things for the staff like a kitchen and bathroom, and things for the buses, such as bus cleaners and parking spots. Once the staff are hired we’re able to get down to the fun stuff… bus routes!
Bus routes are made by just clicking on the map and because we’re in Northampton, where I live, I know where places are and what might make good bus routes! Well, sort of, one’s a bit rubbish so we replace that one, and there is a bit of confusion about how we get people onto the afternoon shifts, but other than that everything’s fine!
NOTE: This is the Early Access version of the game.
