Driving the MAN Lion's City A21 on Route 37 in City Transport Simulator

Driving the MAN Lion's City A21 Bus

• 🚌 The video features a relaxed drive on Route 37 in the City Transport Simulator game, using the MAN Lion's City A21 bus.
• 🚦 The journey starts at Am Widensee and proceeds towards Shuji Nakamura Platz, with the bus set up with lights on and doors open.
• ⏱️ Route timings are described as lenient, allowing for a more relaxed pace despite having traffic density set to maximum.

Gameplay Mechanics & Challenges

• 🛑 Braking characteristics vary significantly between different bus models, even within the same series, requiring adjustment for optimal control.
• 🕹️ The driver uses a thumb stick for steering, which can result in slightly jerky movements, but the game offers settings like a "dead zone preset" for trigger sensitivity.
• ⚠️ AI traffic can be challenging, with cars sometimes stopping in intersections or not moving at green lights, and other AI buses occasionally striking the player's vehicle.

Game Features and Settings

• ⚙️ The game allows players to adjust AI traffic density (low, medium, high, ultra) and toggle AI trams, buses, and cars.
• ✅ A crucial update prevents score penalization if an AI vehicle strikes the player's bus, which is appreciated by the driver.
• 🗺️ The driver mentions working on a career mode and having their city network in its "relative final form."

Visuals and Observations

• 🌳 The route includes scenic areas with trees lining the streets, described as particularly nice in autumn, and a "Japanese precinct" with cherry blossom trees.
• 💡 The driver appreciates the European traffic light stacks for their warning before changing to green and the design of sunken tram rails with grass.
• 🚌 Other bus models like the NL205 and A26 are observed, with articulated buses noted as difficult to control but cool as AI vehicles.
