Bus Company Simulator

• Premium players can carry out up to 3 maintenance jobs and repairs at the same time
• The used bus market now contains additional offers that are randomly generated and change every few days. On top of that, the used bus market is now available to all players and no longer limited to Premium players. Both changes are meant to make the used bus market more active, which benefits everyone.
• Map prices reworked: now that players can synchronise maps and line packs themselves, the formula for

Maps, routes and tours in the Bus Company Simulator could previously only be added by the team. From now on you can take care of that yourselves: every map you have installed can be synchronised directly from within the game. If the map does not exist in the game yet, it will be created automatically in the process. You will find the new "Synchronise maps" button under "Manage maps" in your company. The requirements are Level 10 and an account that is at least 14 days old.

When synchronising,…

The Bus Company Simulator now includes PeDePulse, a new support and feedback tool. PeDePulse has already proven itself in City Bus Manager and Global Rescue and was very popular among players, which is why it is now available for both Bus Company Simulator and Control Center Simulator as well. Bug reports and feature requests are now submitted directly from within the application and no longer need to be created in the forum. You can open PeDePulse at any time by pressing F1. The following…

The singleplayer mode in Bus Company Simulator is getting a major upgrade! Players in singleplayer mode no longer have to rely on a separate, isolated, and functionally limited game mode; they can now also establish their own independent bus company. Progress made so far in the singleplayer career mode will be converted and transferred. As a result, the following new features are now available in singleplayer mode:

• AI employees who can be assigned to shift schedules (Premium)
• Ticket inspectors

Dear community,

Advent is just around the corner, and of course, there will be a little Advent calendar in the BCS again this year, which you can find directly in the main menu.

From December 1 to 24, you can pick up a little surprise every day. The doors are only open on the corresponding date, so check back regularly.

We hope you enjoy it and wish you a pleasant and cozy pre-Christmas season! 🎄✨

With this update, we have fixed several issues that prevented OMSI from launching properly from BCS (either OMSI simply did not open and had to be launched manually, or a Windows error message appeared stating "The specified device, path, or file cannot be accessed. You may not have sufficient permissions to access the element."

We are pleased to announce the release of the next content update today! The most popular community suggestion was to add additional wear options (brake pads, wiper blades, fuel filters). These have now been implemented and added to the Bus Company Simulator!

- Brake pads, wiper blades, and fuel filters must be replaced at regular intervals
- As usual, replacements can either be ordered via the in-game computer or carried out manually (cheaper)
- To carry out replacements yourself, you will need…

- The 🎃 Halloween event 🎃 starts on Friday at 2 p.m. in the Bus Company Simulator! Collect event points and earn special additional rewards and an exclusive badge for you personally and your company!

- If you have forgotten your password and no longer have access to your email account, you can now request to change your email address in the login form. To do this, you must be logged in with the correct Steam account and provide a few details. After various checks, in many cases the change can be…

We are pleased to finally present our newly developed design with today's update! We are aware that the previous design was outdated, but we want the Bus Company Simulator to remain available for a long time to come, which is why we decided to refresh it. Following various server upgrades in recent months (most recently with another hardware upgrade), we are now modernizing the user interface. As always, the update also includes a few bug fixes. In addition, the next bonus mission starts today…

The Whitsun event takes place today from 3 pm until June 9, 2025 🌞 Collect event points and earn special additional rewards and an exclusive badge for you personally and your company!

In order to ensure the long-term stability and reliable operation of the company premises in the Bus Company Simulator / Control Center Simulator, the underlying server infrastructure has been upgraded to a modern and more powerful system. This should minimise potential disruptions in the future.

With this update, the next feature requested by BCS Premium players has been implemented: optional driving tests for public companies!

Public companies can now decide whether new applicants must first take a driving test and, if so, what percentage they must pass it with. Applicants then first drive a tour of their choice on a map of the company (however, particularly short and long tours are not offered for driving tests). In order for the company to keep track of how many applicants pass /…

- In the EP and VP rankings in multiplayer, the player's level is now also displayed for each placement

- Fixed a bug that could cause players in the first 50 ranks to have too few permits after conversion

In order to improve the game experience and make leveling up later in the game less time-consuming and tedious, we are introducing many new levels!

The old level 30 corresponds to the new level 100. The old level 50 corresponds to the new level 200.

Your levels will be automatically converted to the new system!

The level requirements for applying to companies and completing training courses have also been automatically converted.

Premium players now have the opportunity to upgrade up to level 500.

This update fixes various errors in both the Bus Company Simulator and the Control Center Simulator that occurred during the change of day when accepting and dispatching tours.

Dear Community,

Christmas is just around the corner, and to sweeten the waiting time until the big celebration, we have prepared an advent calendar for you, which you will find in the BCS main menu instead of here in the forum as usual.

From December 1st to December 24th, small rewards await you every day. Each door is only available on its own day - so don't miss out!

We hope to bring you a little joy with this update and wish you a wonderful advent season! 🌟
