Busy Buses

A quick and fun card game about rainbow buses. Can you match the right bus, route, and driver, and collect the passengers?

Aimed at (and designed by) children, Busy Buses has enough strategy to keep parents happy. It’s easy to learn and play — pick up cards and match three of the same colour! But do you want a bus card, a route card, or a driver card? Should you collect passengers now, or hang on until more are waiting? Just when you think you have a winning strategy, someone else comes along and collects all the passengers instead!

Busy Buses was co-designed and illustrated by Year 5 of Oxford Road Community School, a primary school in Reading. Reading Buses very kindly checked the bus routes for accuracy and provided the exact colour codes for the buses. Profits from this game go to the school and to the Reading Buses charity of the year.
