Nice idea :)

Great idea, good theme interpretation. Took me a little bit to understand the goal, but I eventually got it. The game however did cause firefox to lock up after a while.

I couldn't get past the second level, and the buses sometimes didn't do what I asked. If they passed a stop that was later in their schedule, they would stop at it, almost acting as if they were ignoring my ordering.

There are a few problems with this game which even an awesome idea and a great soundtrack cannot save :(
- Nothing gets explained regarding how buses traverse the city. Even at the first level I'm left puzzled how they all go through center and not via sides.
- The bus doesn't follow its route - I have set BACD and it goes ABCD
- The time is sooooo sloooow... I already want to triple or quadruple it
Otherwise it's a pretty solid game :)

The idea is interesting, the music is cool but I do not really understand how the buses choose their path. ANd waiting 24h hours is a bit long.

Well you know the gameplay is not very rich, but even then - YES! I love it, Open Transport Asshole Deluxe. The idea is simply awesome, the execution is a bit off.

Super interesting concept, but waiting for the day to end after concocting an evil route just takes too long - an important part of puzzle game design is quick feedback (think of how TIS, Spacechem and Trains all have a fast-forward feature).

Very well presented, but a little too short right now and in need of some performance / response tweaks. Good work!

Nice idea :D

Had trouble figuring out how it worked at first, I like the interpretation of the theme though and the buses moving around in patterns was kinda hypnotic, like a lava lamp.

Don't get it...

Funny theme :)

nice idea but I have no idea what to do

As others have noted, the scheduling becomes confusing when the bus skips stops.
Also, making only one change to the route seems too simple.
I love the idea though.
