NJ Transit in a nutshell.

Bus lanes are just for them to drive in, so they can avoid traffic, be on schedule and incentivize people using public transport as they don't get stuck in traffic. Sometimes bus lanes can be used by normal traffic outside peak hours, or for overtaking etc.

Yep! Here in the UK you often see bus lanes totally empty even though its the time of day when normal traffic is allowed to use it, because people are scared to get fined if they use the bus lane hehe. But yes usually bus lanes are for buses and emergency vehicles only! And you don't need to use hazard lights (flashers) when stopped unless you've broken down.

Fun fact for Berlin: maybe you noticed but there are a lot of blue or sometimes pink pipes running true Berlin. They're used to pump the groundwater from the soil at construction sites. Berlin used to have a lot of swamp land and therefore the ground is very high in water content, which in turn makes it softer and more difficult to build on. That's also why you don't really see any skyscrapers in Berlin. Wherever there's a construction zone close to the centre you'll be seeing those pipes. Almost look some art installation though.

I'm from berlin and it's really weird to see a one to one replica of berlin.

There are real companies because as a representation of a real-life place, having a Burger King where there is actually a Burger King isn't a violation of Trademark rules. There are a lot of misconceptions about Trademark and this idea that you cannot use logos or names of real companies in a commercial product, which isn't true. This is a perfect example of a completely legal and logic use of trademarks in a commercial product. It's similar to how a TV show or Movie can film on location with a McDonalds or Walmart in the background.

And when the bus is leaving, they use the left flashing lights and than the traffic must give the bus priority for getting into traffic.

The rain effects on the windshield is incredible. Also, in Europe the bus lane is for the busses to drive in, not just pull over in if that makes sense. Firstly, so they dont hog up traffic when stopped, secondly so they can drive past the traffic in the main lanes. In Norway you also gotta yield for busses coming out of bus stops and bus lanes if the speed limit is 60kmh or under, not sure if thats how it is in Germany tho... Might be the same. Busses here also do go out of drive when stopped, on some busses the doors wont even open if its still in gear.

Makes it even more realistic.

not from berlin but Ireland and we have the same system the bus lane is for busses to drive in avoiding traffic which means public transit is faster than cars giving more incentive to use it which is environmentally friendly.

I have a close Freind that lives in Berlin, I showed him this video and he was amazed at how everything looked the same but was in a game. He said some of the roads he commuted on are the same ones you traveled on in game. Thanks for making this video, pretty awesome stuff!

For being an early access game it sure does look amazing! Thank you for showcasing it Jeff. I was checking it out on Alex's Channel the other day and its great to see you playing a bus game again. Keep up the amazing work brother!

Hey Jeff, remember in North America (at least in Canada, and some places in the US) and Europe vehicles are required to yield to buses, they can also go straight in right-turn lanes if there is a bus lane or bus stop ahead. Also great video! Thanks for getting me through lockdown man. Also I love the longer videos, not sure about others but they're great fun! Feels like a mini live-stream. Continued, buses are leaned at terminals, to board older passengers or passengers with disabilities or at the request of a passenger.

Im a truck driver in Germany and driven plenty off times in Berlin this game just blows my mind how real it looks. Great Video btw.

Great sim!! I've been driving city bus for 13 years here in Canada. The bus lane is for driving in. Some cities during certain hours, some cities all day. The doors have there own brake when you open them. Normally you just need to keep your foot on the brake and then open and close the doors and then carry on. Only need to apply the maxi brake and but bus in neutral when getting out of the seat or utilizing the wheelchair ramp.

"you brought the storm with ya" xD thunderstorm sounds are very realistic!

I patrol in most of the parts he's driving through, crazy to see the attention to detail!!! It's almost exactly what it looks like in real life

Hi Jeff I can confirm this is a real copy of Berlin, I'm a German and I'm not from Berlin but I know this place and I have a lot of buddys in Berlin all tell the same, great job! Not only burger king was a real brand, Aldi and Lidl are groceries brands in Germany. Europcar is a vehicle rental company. The red trash what you told on the sidewalk is a line for bicycles. When someone in Germany is a bus line on the road the public buses in Taxis (cabs) are using this line. I never see a bus driver take the transmission out of drive. You follow the German road system perfectly . And you try to talk German for the name of the bus stop was awesome.👍🏻 Great video ! Everyone can see how you enjoy the game Stay safe and have a nice weekend.

Another great video. Look forward to seeing more of The Bus.

Really stoked about this! Gonna try it out this weekend!

Funny to watch an american try to cope with the 'tight' european roads. You would be impressed, at what level of speed and accuracy they drive through narrow passageways.

At least in the uk you don’t actually use the hazard lights (or flashers whatever :) )when you are parked in a bus stop. Loved the vid Jeff. Also love the face and wheel cam

41:45 Europcar is car rental company which operates through all of Europe, they usually have offices near train stations and airports

But seeing Berlin from a 1:1 scale in a Simulator... let me find the "Shut Up and Take My Money" gif right quick. Very nice run Jeff, and yes it has been quite awhile since Bus Sim has been on the channel. When I seen this game beforehand I thought that it was gonna be another Bus Sim 18 type game, this video proves that The Bus ain't playing around, it means business. I'm sold nonetheless though.

It looks so good can't wait for it to come out. Loving the content Jeff keep up the great work.

I'm in law school and went on an exchange semester to Berlin last year. Or well, it didn't really pan out the way I expected it would (the semester runs from April through July and I arrived in March... Yeah.) but I ended up spending about a month and a half there. The scenery in the video definitely makes me miss that place! Especially the areas around Hauptbahnhof, Unter den Linden, Lustgarten (where the huge Berliner Dom church is near end of the route) and Alexanderplatz (the terminus with the TV tower). The graphics are really well done and capture the atmosphere fairly well imo. Fun fact: you actually picked a line that doesn't exist anymore. Tegel Airport closed late last year when the new BER airport was opened. Thanks for making this! Wish I could go back.

Pretty stoked about this one not gonna lie! Great driving Jeff! And yes I am pretty sure that bus lane is just for you buddy! At least here in Pittsburgh that's how it is done.

Wow this actually looks great

Thanks for this first look, Jeff. I actually drive an intercity charter bus for a living (including FlixBus, we have that contract for Reno - San Francisco). I'm glad I can come to you to check out new sims before I buy.

Might have to get this just for nostalgia. lmao, that's awesome, the ticket bit and giving the change. That's exactly what I used to do ! Laughed at the whoa nice bike ! Jeff, be great if you could drive the passengers to the airport in the bus and then jump out and pilot the passengers to their next destination..thebus/msfs20...cool !

Yeah the bus lane is bias to buses but irl you get people who just drive along it bc they’re dickhead it usually says bus stop in many European countries (of course not always in English) that’s where it’s a specialised stop and will be marked on the road I believe you can get fined or a ticket if your caught parking in it or stopping for a certain period of time

Hey. I'm a bendy bus driver from Norway. We drive similar buses in Oslo where I'm from. We definitely do not remove from drive and put on the hand brake, though someone use the hand brake during longer stops (e.g. waiting for a green light on a long red), but still leaving the bus in drive. Also in Norway at least we don't use the hazard lights while on a bus stop. We only indicate to the right. Last thing: when turning with a bendy bus, you can turn as son as the "bendy" part has passed the the curd. Before that you should actually keep a more or less straight line, then make a harder turn, especially in those tight corners you made.

Amazing bus driving, It would cool to try in the winter

you spoke about omsi giving a bad feedback, but you should give it a chance. The graphics may not look good to you but the rest makes the best bus simulator ever existed in my opinion

Awesome vid Jeff. Seems like going to be a good bus sim be really good to get multiplayer

Hello Jeff! Been watching for a while, keep up the great work man!

Hi Jeff! Some tips on driving European buses! 1. Bus lanes are there to drive at any time, they are used to pass regular traffic, which is congested rather often. So, drive in them if they’re there, they’re not only for buses which stop along the lane. 2. About the “flashers”, as you name them (so American lol :)), usually, drivers only turn on the right side blinker, and only use the emergency blinkers when they’re needed for their purpose (stopped on irregular places. Great video! I’ll be back for the next one for sure :)

I can only really speak for the UK, but I think it might apply to all if not at least a majority of the rest of Europe too, You don't need to put hazard lights on when stopped at a bus stop. Just indicate that you're stopping next to the kerb then either cancel it or leave it on, doesn't matter, and then you just indicate when you're pulling off again. Competent drivers will know to drive around.

When I drove a Motorcoach. Most of the buses that I drove wouldn't let you kneel the bus. If the parking brake was not on and the bus was in neutral. For school buses in Minnesota, it's the law that the bus must at least be in neutral or the parking brake on.

No need for hazards at bus stops as some people said! We in europe use the right turn signal when the bus stops / is stopped at a bus stop. And left when you want to take off again like you did ^^
