Verdict

The call

Bus Simulator and PTS both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of PTS's written reviews are positive against 55% of Bus Simulator's. PTS also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Bus Simulator's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (209K vs 1.6K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bus Simulator sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and PTS sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
