Yep played the Tokyo Bus Guide on my Japanese mate's PS2, was a good laugh. It is really hard to get good score as you have to do everything perfectly - use turning signal, brake/accelerate gently, annouce station name, stop at correct position, open/close door without injuring passengers or leave anyone at the station...etc, not to mention you are timed as well!
dude, don't overdo it. It's really not that bad. Jeez, just look back and laugh. And none of us thought this could be good, it's just an easy way to escape for an hour. Personally, i did find this quite relaxing as well. I can't always handle a game of BF2 or CS:S ZM, or i can't be bothered bezzing round at 160Mph in a clio V6 in NFSMW. This helps relax but it's not worth the money. I'd rather watch some funky 2 line ASCII art on my new 20x2 LCD case panel.
As a fan of transport style sims, had really high hopes for this. 18 Wheels of Steel, especially the Haulin' edition was a work of genius. Okay, graphically nothing special but the gameplay starting from scratch and building up your own trucking company across the (condensed) length and breadth of North America offered an excellent free-play gaming experience.
However Bus Driver gives you a relatively small area, a fixed number of missions none of which certainly from the hour or so of demo time offer more than about a ten minute run. Worse of all only one fixed external view, no "cab" or passenger view.

There was real potential to do for bus/coach networks what 18WOS did for trucking, could even have built in some Railroad Tycoon logistics with inter vehicle transfer for passengers travelling from A to C via B etc.
