The people that keep it moving? They fall into a blind spot; essential, unacknowledged and quietly holding the city together at the seams. In Bus Bound , available now on Xbox Series X|S, we wanted to place the player at the center of that blind spot. Public Service as Skill If you put the concept of public transit under a microscope and zoom in carefully, you may realize that the ability to drive something the size and shape of a bus through a busy metropolitan area during rush-hour traffic takes serious skills.

Consider every time you’ve been cut off in traffic and had to slam on the brakes. Now imagine doing it in a vehicle is 40ft long, somewhere around 35,000 pounds and with 50 passengers, many of them standing. One of the core goals of Bus Bound is to allow you the opportunity to really experience the size and weight of these machines; to hone-in on what it takes to control a bus full of your fellow humans as you navigate the often-unpredictable nature of heavy traffic or of infrastructural obstacles like breakdowns or roadside construction on your way from point A to Point B with your passengers carefully watching.
