Bus Simulator 18 - Official Map Extension

The official map extension of the popular Bus Simulator expands the main game by 2 brand new municipalities with 9 new, varied missions and 20 bus stops. Many new road miles in Seaside Valley and its surroundings are just waiting to be discovered by you on board of your favorite bus.

The new district of Kerststadt is located slightly above Seaside Valley and offers you, amongst others, the challenge to establish a new public transportation network between Seaside Valley’s city center and Kerststadt’s recently built airport. Kerststadt is also known as the ‘Tech Hub’ of Seaside Valley.

Thanks to optimal route planning on your side, you can help to connect the University of Kerststadt with the Ministry of Economic Affairs as well as the rising start-up scene. As students like to party, the mandatory night bus line should also not be missing from your schedules!

Furthermore, you are invited to discover the picturesque mountain village of Sonnstein and improve the revenues gained from tourism by establishing a good local public transport. While driving, you will have ample time to admire the incredible panoramic views, the original half-timbered houses and the untouched nature that surrounds Sonnstein. But beware of the challenging serpentines that lead to up to the village!
Serpentines may be the most natural way to overcome a steep incline but with a large bus, oncoming traffic and narrow bends all your skills as a bus driver will be needed to bring your passengers safely to their destination.

Just as you are used to from the main game, the multiplayer mode allows you to invite up to 3 friends to help you with the further development of your bus company in this exciting new add-on. Have fun discovering a huge, freely drivable game world and the exciting everyday life of a bus driver as a team in the 1. official map extension of Bus Simulator.

Whether in the industrial or harbour zone, downtown, in the surrounding villages or the business park, in Bus Simulator 18, you experience up-close the exciting everyday life of a bus driver in a vast and freely drivable urban area. Get behind the wheel of your 8 original licensed city buses from the great brands of Mercedes-Benz, Setra, MAN, and IVECO and transport your passengers safely and punctually to their destinations, either solo in single player mode, or with friends in real-time multiplayer mode.

As a bus driver in the 12 different districts, you’ll face the challenges of the traffic in a big city and everything that entails. Don’t be deterred by freak weather conditions, potholes, traffic jams, fare evaders, accidents, construction sites, night driving and specific passenger requests. On the contrary, take full control of your bus, earn money, gain a good reputation owing to your safe and punctual driving style and enjoy almost limitless driving pleasure in the authentic urban locations. Use the thousands of miles of virtual roads and streets to gain new districts, new buses and new customisation options.

With the extensive modding support of Bus Simulator 18 there are no limits: create routes, build your own buses, create bus liveries, design new maps and share them with the community, or download and install the modding content available from the Steam Workshop to enhance your game experience.
