- 55 of the 68 buses cost nothing to drive, so you have a wide choice without spending Robux.
- Most vehicles come with several different paint schemes from real UK operators.
- There are 69 bus routes and 6 tram lines available.
- Play on a computer if you can the developers advise it for the best experience.
Free vehicles versus gamepass vehicles
Table
Most of what the game offers is unlocked by default. Only a small number of buses require a gamepass, and trams follow a similar split — some are free, some are paid.
| Free buses | 55 out of 68 bus types, available from the start. |
| Paid buses | the remaining 13 types, unlocked with a gamepass. |
| Free trams | some tram lines are drivable without paying. |
| Paid trams | a portion of the tram selection does require a gamepass. |
| Liveries | additional paint schemes come with each vehicle at no extra cost. |
The route network
Tips
Routes connect major stops across the map, from Somerset Airport to Arnold Interchange, Crescent Grove, Metrocentre Park, and many more. Tram lines run on both lower-floor and upper-floor tracks. Staff shuttles and special routes also appear in the selector but are separate from the numbered lines.
- There are 62 numbered bus routes and 7 staff shuttle, custom, or special routes, making 69 in total.
- Tram lines split into 5 lower-floor routes and 1 upper-floor line connecting Arnold Square to Somerset Airport.
- Prop vehicles — a static derelict bendy bus, old railbuses, parked airliners, and an airport bus — appear on the map as scenery and can make navigation trickier in tight spots.
