School Run
Drive the school bus round the neighbourhood, stopping at every school stop while the children get on, and get them to school before the bell. Hard braking and bumps upset the children, and your ride reading is your score. Eight routes.

How to play
- Drive with the arrow keys or the on-screen controls. Stop wholly inside each marked school stop, in order, and wait while the door timer counts down so the children can board.
- Watch the Ride reading at the top. It falls every second you brake hard at speed and every time you bump a wall, because the children on board feel it.
- Reach the last stop before the bell. Finishing earns one star, a comfortable ride earns a second, and a very smooth ride earns the third.

Tips and strategy
- Ease off the power a long way before a stop and let the bus roll in, so you only need a light touch of the brake at the end.
- A tap on the brake costs nothing; it is holding it hard while the bus is still moving fast that spoils the ride.
- Swing wide for the corners. A long bus that clips a block loses both comfort and time.
FAQ
- What makes the ride uncomfortable?
- Braking hard at speed, taking corners fast, and bumping into things. Each takes points off the Ride reading, which starts at 100 and goes down as the journey goes on.
- Do I have to be gentle to win?
- No, finishing before the bell is enough to complete a route. Gentle driving earns the extra stars.
