Topic: Bus simulator games

Hello!
Nearly 6 year old son wants to be a bus driver when he's older. He loves them!
He has a nintendo switch and I'd like to get him a bus simulator game but I'm unsure what to get him! Please help!!

He has the plastic steering wheel to fit a joy con into but I've seen table top steering wheels, could this also be an option to make it more like he's actually driving a bus?
Thank you in advance for your help!

@BusGeek I personally don't know anyone that uses a steering wheel for games. My brother got a steering wheel for xbox to play forza(xbox's flagship racing game), but it was always such a hassle to set up the wheel, some mount to a table, (and find a place to store a bulky steering wheel is another issue), and we could always play a racing/driving game better with a regular controller than with the steering wheel. So, a steering wheel for us turned out to be short lived novelty.

Regarding bus games. I don't know enough to recommend one, but I am aware eshop is awash with many same-y, generic looking drivng simulator games. Gameplay footage for "Bus Simulator 22" on youtube looks a bit advance for a six year old. So be aware the bus driving game market may skew toward teen/adult skill level.

If you have a Sega Genesis I’d recommend Crazy Bus.

Thank you both so much for your replies!

He hasn't got a Sega genesis so it would have to be a game for the Nintendo switch. I've seen taxi chaos which I think he will like as well.

Thank you for advice regarding for older child/adults, I hadn't even thought of that!

@BusGeek Yeah, Taxi Chaos crossed my mind.

As far as kid-friendly free-roaming fun goes on the Switch, I'd recommend looking into Lego City Undercover, which also happens to frequently go on sale for $5.99. The game has an adventure/mission structure in the towns, but you can also take any car you want and drive around. I'm not sure it's a game you'll be interested in, but it is a good game that happens to have driving around a town. So, you may want to check out a video review on youtube. nintendolife, ign, etc all have video reviews.

Thank you!

Can taxi chaos be played with a table top steering wheel? I think he'd really like "driving" with a table wheel.

That lego game hes not massively into lego, but can you just drive around without missions on it as I think he'd enjoy that?! To be honest I like the look of it for me, I used to love gta!!!

@BusGeek I bought Lego City Undercover on sale so I had it, in case my nieces visited. I'm not into the Lego games, but this entry is pretty fun, and I ended up playing about 75% of the story mode for Lego City Undercover.

Q: Can you drive around without missions?
A: It's structured like GTA. Short answer, yes. I think you can take a car after the opening cutscenes and after you complete the first mission or two, which take place at the police station.
