The Bus Server Hosting, Explained

What is The Bus?

New to The Bus?

What is The Bus?

The Bus is a city bus simulator from TML-Studios, set in Berlin. Its routes are recreated at a true 1:1 scale, past landmarks like the Victory Column, the Brandenburg Gate and Alexanderplatz. You drive officially licensed city buses on real Berlin lines, sell tickets to boarding passengers and get everyone through heavy traffic safely, with a day and night cycle, weather and seasons. On PC you can drive the city together in multiplayer.

Real Berlin Lines.

Drive lines TXL, 100, N100, 123, 142, 147, 200, 245 and 300 across a map with more than 200 stops.

Licensed Buses.

20 bus variants, from solo and articulated city buses to a double decker.

Why rent a server?

What is The Bus Server Hosting?

Multiplayer in The Bus runs on a dedicated server that every player connects to. Run it on your own PC and it closes when you shut down, and it takes power from your own game. A rented server stays online on its own, so your group can join and drive whenever they like. You choose the map, timetable, fleet and weather, and protect the server with a password. With us it installs the moment you order, and you size it yourself.

Always-On Berlin.

The server stays up with no host, so your friends can play on their own schedules.

Your Rules.

Pick the map, operating plan, fleet and weather, and resize the server any time.
