Give it up for the first “The Bus” Modding Contest!

Since there are already countless great mods from you in the Steam Workshop, we have decided to organize an official modding contest!

From now until March 31, 2024 at 9:00 PM CET, you have time to upload your The Bus mods to the Steam Workshop with the #TheBusModdingContest. Repaints do not count as mods. For the sake of fairness, only mods uploaded during the modding contest period and tagged with the corresponding hashtag will count.

For modding newbies, we have the first part of our new The Bus modding tutorial video series (in German) for you today to coincide with the start of the modding contest!
