Croydon London Bus Simulator Points Calculator

Calculate estimated point earnings per route. Input passengers, stops, shift bonus, rush hour, and vehicle type for accurate grinding projections.

Plan your grinding sessions with this Croydon points calculator. Enter your route parameters to estimate total earnings before committing to a 30-minute Route 289 or a quick SCS shuttle loop. Based on documented mechanics from our earn points guide.

How to Use This Calculator

Select bus or tram mode. For buses, enter average passengers per stop — use 8-12 during rush hour or 3-5 off-peak. Set your operator XP level for per-passenger rates. Enable modifiers matching your session: rush hour increases passenger estimates, shift adds 15% bonus, Pro routes enforce minimum 3 passengers per stop.

Compare results across routes on our main routes page. For trams on Pro routes, switch to tram mode which uses 15/20 points per stop instead of passenger math.
