Bus & Cable Car Simulator: San Francisco

Media Format

CD-ROM

Compatibility

Windows, Stand-Alone

Ever wanted to visit San Francisco and drive across the legendary Golden Gate Bridge, but never had the time or finances to do so? Ever wanted to drive a bus or ride on a cable car, but fate kept you away from these experiences? Now you can visit sunny San Francisco and control these vehicles and over a dozen more from the comfort of your own home, using the powerful new Bus & Cable Car Simulator: San Francisco software for Windows computers!

Similar to open-world adventures like Grand Theft Auto or even the fantastical worlds visited in games like The Legend of Zelda, Bus & Cable Car Simulator: San Francisco allows you to independently traverse San Francisco, California and make your own way in the world.

You can wander the city to your heart's content, engage in a new career commanding all of the public transport vehicles at your disposal, hang out in your very own apartment, provide maintenance to your vehicles, collect the correct fares from passengers, and see all that San Francisco has to offer! But a career in public transportation isn't as boring or easy as you might have dreamed.

You'll need to learn how to keep to a strict timetable and make all of your routes on schedule, while constantly monitoring your vehicles' upkeep to ensure that they remain in peak condition. A driver is only a good as his or her vehicle, so if you fail to provide proper maintenance, you'll also fail in your new career! And don't forget traffic laws--you'll need to follow the traffic signals intently, stay within your lane, drive up steep inclines and rugged terrain, and avoid damaging pedestrians at all costs!

You just may find that being a public transportation specialist is both more challenging and exciting that you ever imagined that it could be!

Review

The most remarkable aspect of Bus and Cable Car Simulator is that it is an open world game of sorts; you are free to roam the city of San Francisco, use the public transport, drive to schedules across the city, and even have a nap in your apartment. Whilst this is an amazing step in simulators, it also has its limitations; much like the early 3D Grand Theft Auto games there is little interaction to be had in the city; however the mere possibilities are a fantastic step forward for the lowly regarded simulator genre. - GamerCast
