5.0 out of 5 stars Great game for early numbers and maths, 8 Jul 2007
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Our son got this game for is 4th birthday and he has loved playing it ever since, with increasing level of counting/maths. No one maths game is going to interest a child from early counting to more advanced additon and subtraction. But the beauty of this game is that you can adapt the rules to the level of the children involved. We started using it for basic counting, and now one year later, it really helps with addition and subtraction. And I expect it will retain interest and educational value for some time to come.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it...., 6 Feb 2009
By BM "bookmummy" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
My 4 year old son was bought this for his birthday. It is a brightly coloured game and looks attractive. It also states that it "helps with adding and subtracting". However that's a bit of an overstatement.

The basic premise is that you start off with a bus with 10 empty seats, the idea being to fill as many as possible by the end. There are 2 dice, 1 tells you how many spaces to move and the other tells you how many people to add/remove. Each space has either a "+" or a "-" on it. In reality most of the time the bus is either completely empty or completely full for most of the journey - we spend most of our time saying "well I'm supposed to take 2 away but it's empty so I can't" or "I'm supposed to add 6 but it's full so I can't". The buses finish at different times so the end result isn't particularly exciting either.

My son can't be the only 4 year old who finds the idea of counting between 1 and 6 people ridiculously simple. However he does rather like the game because he has his "favourite passengers" about whom he makes up stories. My 5 year old daughter will tolerate playing it once or twice. Older than that I can't imagine it having any value at all.

I have always been a fan of Orchard Toys but there are more fun and more educational options than this one. For more fun I would recommend "Party party party" (advertised for 5-9 but I would say 3-7) and for more educational value I would recommend "Piggy in the middle" (advertised for 5-10 which is probably fair).

1.0 out of 5 stars I wouldn't bother, 7 Oct 2006
By Ms. R. M. Hancock "veggieburger" (Sheffield, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This isn't an "adding and subtracting game" as it says on the box. All it teaches is the symbols + and -. If you add to the rules by making each player actually do the sum of adding or subtracting the number of passengers getting on to or off the bus, then you can make it into a learning experience. But if you play it by the rules, all the kids have to do is count their passengers at the end.
It may be OK for the bottom age range (4), but is too simple and boring for an 8-year-old. It's also over in a few minutes - hardly worth getting the box out.
And finally, this claims to be educational but in the instructions they talk about "a dice"! You would expect anyone producing so-called educational material to know that dice is the plural of die.
