Dear OMSI Community,

have you heard the news already? On Thursday, 25th March 2021, the next generation of city bus driving simulation releases: The Early Access version of TML-Studio's The Bus!

Transport passengers on different lines across the capital city of Germany, Berlin, on a realistic track layout in the scale of 1:1 with various busses.

There are further information on the The Bus Steam page:

Moreover, you can find a general roadmap for the development of The Bus during its Early Access there as well. As you may notice from the name, Thurday will be the beginning of a long collective journey: numerous features and improvements will follow in the future.

Here are some highlights of the roadmap:

Phase 1.0 (available at the start of the Early Access of The Bus)

• Bus line TXL with various routes
  
• Two bus variants: Articulated and Solo
  
• Passenger ticket sale
  

Phase 2.0

• The Bus Modding Tools for Unreal Engine 4 Game Editor
  
• Multiplayer mode for Freeplay
  
• Addtional bus line 100 and 200 with various routes
  
• AI busses
  

Phase 3.0

• Economy mode
  
• Additional bus line 245 with various routes
  
• Complete tutorial and checklists
  

Now, we would like to know from you how we can improve The Bus in your opinion. What makes the gaming experience more realistic for you? What are your wishes? What do you love about OMSI 2 that could be integrated into The Bus as well? What bothers you (e.g. about the driving dynamics)?

Accompany us on our way to the final bus simulator The Bus!

We are looking forward to your feedback and are happy to discuss with you in a civilized way.
It would be best if you would join the TML Discord to do so: https://discord.com/invite/vkqyQ7TbDU
