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 avantgarde 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.

Comments are prereviewed 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.
