The API for the Bus Company Simulator is here!
Via our new API, all company owners can request a lot of data about their companies externally and use it for their own websites, bots or statistics. General information about the company can be requested as well as data from maps, buses and staff. All information about the usage of the API can be found in-game in the company settings (at the bottom).

Today at 3 p.m. (CET) the Winter Event starts in the Bus Company Simulator!

By driving certain routes, you can earn event points, which can then be used to unlock special additional rewards. If you earn enough event points, you will receive an exclusive badge!
In addition, all drivers also earn event points for the company for which they drive the event tours. Each company has an individual goal that must be achieved to earn an additional reward and an exclusive badge for the company.
