### 4/5 — Great.

*2026-07-22, version 1.3.8*

The linearity of buses that this game has is holding it back, but shoving buses out of the way is so much fun. The graphics are decent for a game from 2013.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-06-28, version 1.3.8*

It’s good but why do I keep getting put in the back before we start racing

### 3/5 — もっと面白くしたい

*2026-03-06*

別のステージで速いバスを使いたい。

### 2/5 — School bus crash test

*2026-02-20*

I crashed any buses every morning

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER

*2025-10-02*

This game is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever played. I’m so shocked it hasn’t got more players because this just sums up all that I would want in racing not to mention you’re driving buses!!!!! ❤️❤️

### 2/5 — Just 8 tracks over and over. No multiplayer

*2025-09-25*

Whichever way you cut. This, there are 8 tracks and just as many races. You may change the bus, update the bus, whatever, it’s still THE SAME 8 races you will play, no matter what the event is called. That’s it. That’s all there is to this game. Without a multiplayer. It’s just dead after couple days.

### 4/5 — Needs an update ASAP

*2025-08-30*

Bus derby is a fun game. (A really fun game!) Unlocking new buses, getting to race lots of races but I’m concerned about this game…
It needs an update ASAP!!! Don’t tell me it’s been 10+ years and the creator of bus derby couldn’t think of another bus/race, like there is more races than buses in the game! Like please update the game if the creator is reading this… it’s still though.

### 5/5 — bring to steam

*2025-08-17*

i used to play this game all the time as a kid, it’s still really fun after finding it again. I would genuinely play this game if you ported it to steam

### 3/5 — The ai

*2025-08-04*

The ai’s always get advantage like one ai tapped me and my bus tipped over but I full smashed one and nothing happened and whenever I respawn I spawn farther back but the ai’s spawn farther forward like it’s not fair

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-07-03, version 1.3.8*

Very good

### 3/5 — The requirements are not met

*2025-06-29*

After I waste money on a vehicle. One of the level requirements not met, after a player smacked my car I got in position 16.

### 4/5 — Progress saving

*2025-03-10*

This is an absolutely amazing game that I have been playing since 2014. Seeing the new buses and maps is awesome! Just a suggestion though, it would be nice if users can save game progress. This is a problem since I bought a new device and can’t transfer over my old progression to the new device. Until then I will give this great game 4 stars.

### 5/5 — Bus derby

*2026-04-02, version 1.3.8*

I remember I used to play this game everyday as a kid 😂 since I was 7 years old now 12 years later I still get memories of it I'd always play custom maps of figure 8x8 and cargo damn what a time to be a kid if I could go back and play as a kid I would. Can y'all please add stronger opponents stronger then “Brutal, Leon and Raul. And add new busses and maps please man please.

### 5/5 — Muy bueno!

*2025-12-25, version 1.3.8*

A día de hoy, sigue siendo un juego más que disfrutable…
La progresión es muy buena y pasas el rato✌🏻

### 5/5 — Bus Derby 2?

*2025-10-30*

Why not? It’s time upgrade and more better race, add more tracks, and more buses too. It could add night too, it will much fun. I think it’s best to put bus derby old ways like gravity, handling, Ai driver, tracks, and bus put in new bus derby 2, but should add more bus, tracks, night, multiplayer, more Ai drivers, realistic tracks, lights on during night, and more custom laps than just 20laps. Honestly I love to play this bus derby since I was at elementary school. I bet it will be popular. Keeping it up and continue.

### 5/5 — Ni

EL JUEGO ESTÁ CHIDO PORFAVOR PONGAN MODO ONLINE 🫵🏻
