Take the wheel of the ultimate coach and drive real passengers across three continents. Pick up your riders at the terminal, load their luggage, close the doors and roll out on long-distance routes through Europe, the Middle East and North America. Every kilometre is yours to drive, day or night, sun, rain or snow. YOUR PASSENGERS ARE WATCHING This is not a cargo run. Forty people are sitting behind you, and they notice everything. Brake too hard, swerve, speed, bump over a curb, and they will let you know. Drive smooth and they tip you at the end of the ride. Drive badly and they ask for refunds. Keep the comfort bar full for the ultimate perfect ride. A FLEET OF 14 BUSES Start in a compact city coach and work your way up to the double-decker flagships. Coaches, city buses, school buses and luxury liners, each with its own cockpit, doors, gearbox and handling. Every bus has a real interior you can drive from, with a working dashboard, mirrors and doors. BUILD THE BUS COMPANY Buy offices in new cities, hire drivers and send your spare buses out on routes while you drive your own. Earn licences, level up your company and grow from a single bus to an ultimate company operator. Your drivers keep earning while you are on the road. MAKE IT YOURS Paint your bus, apply vinyls, change rims, horns and LED lights. Upgrade the engine, tyres, transmission and suspension. A better suspension is not just faster laps, it is happier passengers. Build your ultimate bus. DRIVE YOUR WAY Steering wheel, tilt or buttons. Choose the time of day and the weather before every route. Switch between cockpit, chase and orbit cameras. Realistic traffic, working signals, fuel stops, rest areas and a living world map with dozens of cities to discover. THE ROAD TRIP Long highways, mountain passes, coastal roads and tunnels. Weather that changes as you drive. A day-night cycle that turns a routine route into the ultimate road trip. DAILY REWARDS AND GOALS Log in every day for rewards, complete goals for extra cash and gold, and unlock the ultimate premium pack with unlimited fuel, no ads and exclusive buses. Bus Simulator World is the ultimate bus driving experience. Download now and start your first route.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bus Simulator Game 2023 at 4.5 against Bus Simulator's 4.1. Bus Simulator Game 2023 also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Bus Simulator's advantage is chart position (#191 vs unranked) and review sentiment (22% vs 12%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Bus Simulator sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Bus Simulator Game 2023 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bus Simulator Game 2023 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bus Simulator has 4.4K ratings behind it against 791, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Bus Simulator's written reviews are positive against 12% of Bus Simulator Game 2023's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bus Simulator ships an update every 5 weeks, Bus Simulator Game 2023 fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
