About This Game
Thank You Bus Driver is a chaotic bus driving game, where you take on the role of a town’s bus driver just trying to get through the day with minimal rule breaking and maximum gratitude... in the form of Thank Yous!
Get behind the wheel and remember the three main priorities on your bus:
No Rule Breaking
Your bus, your rules! Who cares that they change every single day? And that you keep adding rules? And that some of these rules are just itching to be broken?
No matter! Slap any of those annoying rulebreakers to remind them of who runs the road. And if they’re repeat offenders? Revoke their bus privileges.
Stay on Track
Getting to your next stop is all that matters. That might mean pulling up your map mid-turn or it might mean a shortcut through the corn field. Avoiding pedestrians, incoming traffic, or the fence directly in front of you is optional.
Your passengers certainly don’t care as long as you make it to your next stop before they get upset!
Be on Schedule
You have a tight timeline! Get to the next stop before your time runs out. And remember: the only thing that fuels you is a happy rider. The more Thank Yous, the more time you have to get to the next stop.
Collect even more Thank Yous to unlock additional bus tchotchkes, town variants, and more!
Run a strict bus and you may very well become the best bus driver this town has ever seen.
Just don’t forget, Bus Driver: Keep 'em in line... but get there on time!
