  • FROM BERLIN TO THE BRONX — THE BUS DRIVES INTO MANHATTAN DECEMBER 8

    FROM BERLIN TO THE BRONX — THE BUS DRIVES INTO MANHATTAN DECEMBER 8

    Welcome to 34th Street — Population: Busy

    Aerosoft, TML Studios, and Rivet Games have teamed up to take The Bus across the Atlantic. The Bus – New York City arrives on PC via Steam on 8 December 2026, bringing the bustling streets of Manhattan to your dashboard. Console versions will follow shortly after, so no one gets left waiting at the stop.

    Two Routes, One Iconic Street

    The expansion recreates the heart of Manhattan around 34th Street — the thoroughfare that cuts straight through Midtown, past the Empire State Building, Hudson Yards, and the endless bustle that defines New York. You’ll drive two real-world bus routes:

    Route
    M34 — Runs east-to-west across 34th Street, connecting the waterfront at FDR Drive all the way to the Hudson River
    M34A — Starts near Port Authority Bus Terminal, joins 34th Street, then heads up toward FDR Drive

    Together they cover 6.5 kilometres, 25 city blocks, and serve over 26 bus stops. More than 300 handcrafted buildings line the route — from towering skyscrapers to cosy corner bodegas — capturing that unmistakable Manhattan skyline. Full timetables for weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays mean traffic, crowds, and schedules change depending on when you drive.

    Ride The Big Apple — In A 18-Metre Articulated Bus

    Navigating busy 34th Street calls for something longer than your average city bus. A separate companion DLC adds the US LFSA — an 18-metre articulated bus, built specifically for the demands of Manhattan’s busiest corridors. Three doors, extra capacity, and the turning circle of a small ship — mastering this giant will be one of your biggest challenges.

    What To Expect Behind The Wheel

    This isn’t just a reskin — it’s a whole new city to master:

    • Distinctive street grid — Manhattan’s avenues and numbered streets mean very different driving to Berlin’s curves and roundabouts
    • Realistic traffic — yellow cabs, delivery trucks, cyclists, and impatient drivers weaving across lanes
    • Crowded sidewalks — rush hour in Midtown means passengers queue up fast and pedestrians step out without looking
    • Full timetable systems — keep to schedule or fall behind; every stop matters
    • AI traffic & events — unexpected roadworks, diversions, and peak-hour chaos keep you on your toes
