Bus Parking Simulator is a timed parking game that challenges a player with attempting to park a city bus before time runs out while dealing with 35 unique settings at different times of day. Each level represents a different parking scenario with one or more obstacles. If the player touches certain objects even lightly with the bus on the path to a parking space, including barriers and other vehicles, they must restart the level. They also fail the level if they fail to park the bus before time runs out.
The player must have excellent hand-eye coordination. They need to also park with near-perfect alignment of the bus with a black parking space highlighted with a yellow painted border and matching diagonal lines. When the player completes the task correctly, a three-second timer appears near the top of the screen highlighted with green. They win a score that converts to currency that they can use to upgrade to other types of buses.
Bus Parking Simulator simulates urban areas and other environments where buses usually travel, such as main and side streets and parking lots. It also sets up challenges, such as streets where the player must direct the bus around specially placed motor vehicles. Additionally, also allows the bus to drift, which means the player must apply the brakes or hand brake with enough pressure and time to keep the bus from drifting into an object or out of the space.
