Paderborn, Germany - 11th April 2025: Following a successful PC release and a series of popular DLCs, bus simulation experts PeDePe and publisher Aerosoft are proud to announce that City Bus Manager is making its highly anticipated leap to consoles!
City Bus Manager will be available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 on 15th May!
Since its PC release, City Bus Manager has seen hundreds of thousands of players worldwide create their very own bus routes, thanks to its innovative use of OpenStreetMap data, allowing you to construct bus depots and design routes in any real-world location on Earth. From the bustling streets of metropolises such as New York and Tokyo, to the charming Tuscan hills, isolated Amazonian villages, desert towns along the River Nile, or even your very own hometown, the game’s strong management style realism, depth, and replayability have earned it a devoted community, now ready to welcome console players aboard!
In City Bus Manager, players can manage every detail of their bus company, from fleet maintenance to employee happiness, work schedules, bus routes, timetables, and so much more. With over 20 bus models and realistic passenger behavior powered by live data, the game offers endless possibilities. Will you revolutionize public transport in your city, or will you face the challenges of unhappy passengers and tight schedules? The choice is yours.
