Probably a bus would be cheaper as they're slower, but I doubt people would drive around in them 90% cheaper than a taxi. ? Don't forget purchasing a taxi is only 30k, a bus is 114k - they'll most likely run around a bit cheaper than a taxi would. as a business case you are right, taxi si cheaper, faster and have higher ROI. but we talked here about realism and as for taxi it was implemented that extra income for every 60 minutes in shift, we can do this way here too.. that will support them to earn money even if they drives with the bus empty... with 4k in 24h in shift you cover the bus cost... and start earn something extra. For example I would put money and get 3 buses to support this. even that I know the income will be probably 0 for me as a business owner.... but if I drive side by side with employers, I can make one extra bus in around 1 week only from regular shift income. If all ticket will go as I stated before 100% to business /faction that will get some other income.. that support for gas/ extend of the fleet. I will 100% prefer to drive empty in the city making regular announcement and stop on red lights than waiting for 50 minutes for a taxi order, and then miss it because I type slower... and maybe even get asleep waiting to do a ride. ?

shareef2 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 don't worry habeeb bus service is coming soon Anyways, government contracts should support this, not a scripted bus driver job nor a government department for transit. Link to comment
Tennplugg Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Bus can only fit four people currently, so it'd have to wait for rage 1.1, but I do like the idea. Link to comment

I know you support it I'm in gov myself, but I was saying that because of the request to script the job in the OP along with prior experience of there being DoT run buses on other servers Link to comment

SULLI Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I'd love for there to be an active City to County bus service. But sadly I have to agree that the RP would be rather lacking for the drivers. Not sure they'd get much activity. Maybe if like the garbage system, you script in points around the map for bus stops and have players pick up the job which they get paid for regardless of passengers. Pay them per distance traveled and a bonus if people get on. Only script in one point in the county, that being Sandy. Means people need to commute in the county to get a bus to the city. Then just have a good load around the city. Link to comment
DLimit Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) As of right now? I can HEAVILY envision a transit system that transports people from L.S., to Sandy, to Paleto.... identical to a Greyhound Bus. At most, you can transport four individuals per journey from L.S., to Sandy, to Paleto, rather than remaining dependent on a city-wide bus. Edited August 11, 2020 by DLimit Link to comment
house-max Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 As I pointed in the start, a scripted system that pays 4k for 60 minutes while in the bus as it has been on taxi, not active RP, because you cannot drive and RP as a bus driver... the request for this would be higher.... You should just RP when people get in and out. Link to comment

Maybe they need to make certain routes/stops or the pay pauses? Link to comment
