The man for whom the word "boring" apparently has no meaning finds a new question to ask: if truck simulators are the joke which came good, then what's a bus simulator - some kind of avant-garde artistic statement?

The actual answer is a combination of charmingly homemade indie project, historical documentary, and a strange world of finding calm in the stress of having a million things to do in a vehicle approximately 50% too big to do any of them with.

One day I may even understand the ventilation controls. But today is not that day.

This bus stops at:

0:00 It's a bus simulator.
0:51 Love letters and symphonies
2:18 I just want boredom, OK?
3:23 I am not a salesman
4:23 Click things and hope
4:49 Celebrating the small
5:55 Oh this is going to get the comments, isn't it.
6:41 Sampling
7:15 Errant Mercedes
8:49 Daily bus problems
9:55 A history lesson
11:48 The inevitable editor bit
12:32 Bad at the editor, bad at the concept of buses
13:48 Dead-eyed child
14:25 Sympathetic assessment
15:25 Rough edges
17:00 Over-stimulated, under-DLCed
18:20 Invested in Grundorf
19:19 No you're clunky and dated

Comments are pre-reviewed to avoid spam. I aim to publish all comments, including dissent, but overly pedantic or negative ones may be moderated. Hearing about different experiences and what things were like in other countries adds a lot to the video! Especially this video, given it's ultimately about Berlin in the past.

Bonus fact: The front seat passenger view at around 6:54 is driving through Hackney in London, a little up the corner from Ridley Road, the early headquarters of Amstrad. I did film that bit also but my partner and I ended up having a discussion about whether we should try going to the pub on the corner, so the footage ended up being mostly of the pub. We still haven't tried going yet.
