In Tokyo Bus Guide, players drive on three real-world routes of the Toei Bus service. In addition to stopping at the right bus stops on time, triggering announcements, and ensuring passenger comfort by not accelerating or braking too harshly, drivers also have to follow the rules of traffic by stopping at traffic lights, obeying speed limits, and correctly indicating when turning or changing lanes. Part of a green "life bar" in the lower left corner of the screen turns red every time a rule is violated or a task not completed correctly. More serious violations, such as crashing into another vehicle, entail more serious consequences than minor mishaps, such as forgetting to announce the next stop. The life bar can be replenished by passing or stopping at stations on time. When the life bar turns entirely red, the player is forced to retire prematurely.
