Is the Volvo 8700 Link worth the download?

Yes. If you are tired of the standard MAN Lion’s City or the Citaro, the 8700 offers a refreshing change of pace. It is more refined, slightly more modern, and offers a unique articulated experience that feels less like a heavy train and more like a dynamic vehicle. omsi 2 volvo 8700 link

Tip for new drivers: Be careful with the brakes. The disc brakes on the 8700 are very grabby at low speed. You will send your passengers flying into the windscreen if you stamp on the pedal at 5 km/h. Feather them gently!

If you have spent any significant time in the world of OMSI 2: The Bus Simulator, you know the roster is dominated by German icons—the MAN Lions City, the Mercedes-Benz Citaro, and the ubiquitous SD-series.

Strategically, the Volvo 8700 Link fills a vital niche in the OMSI 2 ecosystem. Most default buses are either 12-meter city buses (e.g., the MAN NL202) or luxury touring coaches (e.g., the Neoplan Skyliner). The 8700 Link occupies the middle ground. It is perfectly suited for map expansions like Gladbeck or Fiktiv Szczecin, where routes extend out of dense urban centers into rural villages or industrial parks.

The interior configuration reflects this role. While it lacks the multiple doors of a city bus (optimizing instead for a single front entrance and a center exit), it offers higher-backed seats for comfort on 45-minute journeys. Gameplay therefore shifts from aggressive stop-and-go traffic management to smooth cruise control operation, timetable adherence over long distances, and precise handling on narrow country roads. For the player, piloting an 8700 Link at twilight, with the dashboard lights glowing and rain streaking the high windshield, is a meditative experience far removed from the chaos of a crowded city center.
