How to set a controller?

Bus Simulator 18 can also be played on a gamepad or a steering wheel. Thanks to this you will be able to feel like a true bus driver. However, you have to remember that a gamepad can only be used for controlling your vehicle. The only way to check and sell tickets, and to move the camera, is to use the mouse. You can think about connecting another controller - otherwise, you will have to reach for the mouse constantly in order to move the cursor on the screen.

Check the controls if you have decided to use a gamepad. In Bus Simulator 18, some of the keys overlap which means that, e.g. you can open your vehicle's doors each time you use a signal or windshield wipers.

Input Mode

Input Mode is a setting that allows you to choose how you want to steer your bus. You have 3 input mode options: mouse, W and S keys + mouse, and keyboard. This can be changed at any point in the settings.

Remember that choosing the option to steer your vehicle with a mouse won't allow you to sell tickets or check tickets of your passengers.
