Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Public Transport Simulator at 86% against Driver Simulator's 36%. Public Transport Simulator also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 139). Driver Simulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
