The controls aren't that fun, the graphics are dated and the sound isn't really all that tight, but the game has some fun hidden in there when taken in small doses. Gamezone think this is the kind of game that will appeal to most, but will ultimately disappoint due to the overall experience.

All in all Strategy Informer didn't have too many complaints about Bus Driver. It's a simple casual game, but it does what it sets out to do well. Hard core gamers are likely to be bored with it, however, for a casual pop in and play it was fun and will definitely see more play time around here.
Andy Mahood reports:
''The title says it all. Apologies if you were expecting a riveting set of bus-themed missions ripped from a Keanu Reeves movie, but Bus Driver really is about driving a bus. Follow predetermined routes and timetables; stop at red lights and bus kiosks; signal lane changes; and open and close your doors at the right time. Do it properly and you earn points. Do it appallingly and you still earn points, just not as many.''
