There should be more people too, sometimes the bus gets so crowded you can barely get on or off it.

Not every street (the majority) don't have bus lanes. Another touch of realism would be to have delivery trucks or idleing cars at the bus stops.

Lastly, a few different bus types would be cool. The ones in the video are the older models, there are some newer buses in NY that look a bit like milk cartons now. Plus there are other busses that look like Grayhound style buses, even busses that are so long they have a divider in the middle that turns whenever the bus makes a turn.

And don't forget the AI who jump in front of the bus to try and stop it, and the vomit and leftover take-aways, chavs throwing bricks and fireworks, the inspector who complains because you're running late, the OAPs that take six years to board and another seven to find their bus pass and the occasional brawl in the back.

That's a true simulator!
