5 out of 5 stars You can be the one that looks like Daddy!

By Clare

This is a great game to enforce counting and introduce the concept of adding and subtracting.

My son is just about to turn 4 and loves the game, it's as much about getting the right people on the bus i.e. men as it is about the end result.

Somehow he always wins...

5 out of 5 stars Our 3 year old loves this

By Tony Moore

Our 3 year old has been playing a few of the number recognition games that Orchard make (10 Green Bottles) and knows her numbers from 1-10, so we bought this and by the end of the first game she was recognising the +/- symbols and what they meant. If there wasn't enough room to add all the people she'd say "oh dear, full up, they'll have to wait for next bus", etc..

Good work Orchard Toys

5 out of 5 stars Great for early maths

By Caroline Christian

It's maths but the kids don't necessarily realise it! Our 3 and 6 yr olds can play together no problem.

It's such a simple concept for a game and all the different passenger faces are carefully chosen in each game. We've had a fair few laughs at the table playing this one. Another brilliant game from Orchard ... we'll be back for more!

5 out of 5 stars Great game!

By Leah Hamilton

Our 4 year old daughter loves this game, and she's quickly grasped the concept of the +/- squares. Even her 2 year old sister likes to try and play along with a bit of help from us. The only problem is that our 4 year old gets cross if another family member chooses one of her "favourite" passengers first!

5 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Learning Game

By Tracy Painting

This is enjoyed by both my children aged 2 and 4. They enjoy counting out the passengers and the numbers on the dice. For my younger child we have also used it to discuss colours of the bus and describe what the passengers look like.
