You know this game isn't so bad for it's size.

This excerpt from the official FAQ sums up my problems with it though...

Are there any other camera views/angles? How do I switch to in-cabin view? Can I see the cabin in the full game?

There is no in-cabin view or alternate camera angles. The game is designed to be played from the outside view, the time-limited demo and the full game are identical. Bus Driver's ambition is not to be a true detailed bus simulation. It is an attempt to create an accessible game involving buses. However, we are listening to customer feedback on this as well as other issues to see how best to improve the game in the future.

On one hand, it seems like a rather hard core bus simulator. You gotta use your turn signal and stop at red lights, for crying out loud. On the other hand it isn't a simulator because I'm viewing the bus from behind the bus, can't really tell if I'm on the sidewalk or the road, and sometimes can't see in front of me at all.

So this is a hardcore simulation of being a friendly disembodied spirit who is possessing a bus?

All that said, I'm still chuckling from playing a bus simulator. "Dude I got those kids to school WICKED fast. And only three monitors of glory can fully capture driving a city bus route four times in a row. YEAAAA!"

The screen does display at 3840x1024, but it crops it by doing so. You notice this when you come up to an intersection and have to wait until the green light, but because of the cropped screen you can't see the traffic lights.

Funny game though.
