Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Happy Few at none against Bus Simulator Lite's 8. Happy Few also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Bus Simulator Lite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.2 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
