Current System:
Driver goes on a randomly selected route (1001, 1002, 1003, 1004). No one really knows where these routes go to, and there are zero interaction with the other players unless rare chance one boards the bus. The pay is also very low for bus drivers.
Proposal:
- Player goes to Bus Station and takes out Bus
- Player gets to choose one of 4 pre-designed routes.
- Player can Use /announceroute [Will display a global server chat - "Bus for Route 1001 is available, call 1001 for route information"
Players who wish to ride the bus, can dial the route's number and will be shown the following.
"The buses are currently displayed"
--------------------------------
/showroute [route 1001, 1002, 1003, 2001] will show the stops of the route on map, and bus's real time location as it moves.
*All buses will start their routes from the BUS DEPOT (Current location of job), and be returned to the BUS DEPOT.

When starting the job, player can choose the route they wish to take (Press Y)
- Pop up menu for player to choose desired route to drive. MAXIMUM OF 2 BUSES PER ROUTE, THERE BEING FOUR ROUTES. (Maximum of 8 players can drive the buses on the server. Room to adjust in future.)
/showroute [route 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004] will show the stops of the route on map, and bus's real time location as it moves.
/announceroute (Will send a global message to the server that a bus is available on Route XXXX, and to call for the next stop at XXXX)\
/laststop (Bus driver will need to drive to the upcoming stop in order to cancel the route. Failure to meet /laststop will result in NO PAY. The bus will not be deleted, therefore players may commandeer bus to not get stranded.)
/returnbus (Will redirect the bus driver to drive back to BUS DEPOT) - Incentive: Bus driver will get bonus pay for returning the bus back. (50% of number of stops made.)
/nextstop [route] (Will tell player what the next bus stop will be by tracking the on-duty bus's previous stop made.)
PS: Money paid to bus drivers comes from Gov Vault, and money paid by customers goes to Gov Vault. (Or Designated Vault for Public Transportation so Gov can budget)
BUS IS FREE TRANSPORTATION FOR EVERYONE!
NEW PLAYERS OR ANY PLAYERS WILL LOVE THIS! MORE DIFFERENT ROUTES AND USEFUL TOO THAN AIMLESSLY DRIVING ALONE ALL THE TIME!
NEVER HAVE I SEEN ANY SERVER OR COMMUNITY IMPLEMENT A BUS TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM LIKE THIS! THIS WOULD BE REVOLUTIONARY TO ROLEPLAY!
