How much excitement can a bus driver expect during his daily ride? Little? Let's say the town is full of monsters then. Oh, and a bunch of dreadful incidents force you to change your course every day. Is that not enough? Well then, you might want to listen in on your passengers' conversations.
- Incidents can happen on the road ahead, and are indicated on the map. When approaching one, you will have to choose between two alternative routes to avoid it. Each route will skip ❌ a number of stops, and serve ✔ others instead.
- The only control is the left click ;)

The Web version should have no issues, as long as you're not playing on a phone! Choose a native build (Windows, macOS, Linux) if you encounter performance drops.
