Fernbus Simulator (2016)
Thanks to the cooperation with FlixBus , the Fernbus Coach Simulator lets you experience the world of driving a large coach on Germany's Autobahn and motorways in great detail. Driving a large and modern MAN Lion’s Coach bus, you will experience the everyday life of a coach bus driver. Navigate a complex network of motorways and roads to bus stations in more than 40 German cities and stay in constant contact with the control centre. Drive your bus carefully on the highways by day and night, in all seasons and in all weathers. Approximately 20.000 km of the German FlixBus route network have been recreated. Time passes at a scale of 1:10 so that the individual tours do not take too long. As in real life, passengers who already have a valid ticket can board the bus immediately at the bus stops while the other passengers have to buy a new ticket from the driver. Both licenced MAN coaches are equipped with original cockpits including all functions. The interior and exterior of the busses are modelled in great detail and the original passenger announcements create a realistic atmosphere. Construction sites, traffic jams and accidents will challenge you to keep up with the tight schedule.

Press Quotes
“What makes Fernbus a great simulation is the freedom to take any bus route you want. It’s possible to make one long push from the bottom of the country to the top, or have a bus route with 30 stops for one epic bus route. You can make Fernbus as easy or as hard as you like. If you’re looking for more of a challenge, you can try traveling in bad weather conditions.”
