Jump behind the steering wheel in this driving simulator. There are three different types of missions, depending on what type of vehicle you choose. Choose one of many buses to transport passengers around the city. Jump in as a taxi driver and give a lift to clients waving their hands around the city. Choosing a race car, opens up Checkpoint racing tracks in the city. For each customer serviced or race finished, you get experience points, which unlock additional vehicles and locations.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Bus Simulator at none against Public Transport Simulator's shown. Bus Simulator also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 3.4K) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). Public Transport Simulator's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 66%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
