The Altis Bus Service is a public transport service run by you, the citizens of [[Altis]], for the citizens of [[Altis]]. Alongside the [[Altis Taxi|Taxi Service]] it is one of the primary forms of transport for newer members. It is a surprisingly simple form of earning money and often a great way to meet new people and have some fun, interesting experiences. Hopefully, this page will serve as a step-by-step guide to helping you become Altis' next favourite Bus Driver!  

===Before being a Bus Driver:===

*The first step to becoming a bus driver is to gather yourself an "Altis Bus Driver" License from any of the [[DVLA]] shops around the island. (There is a Cash point option on the tablet in the HQ to withdraw money).

*After that you need to go to "[[Clothing Store|Hugo Ross]]" in Kavala where you will need to buy the "Marshall Clothing" and the "IDAP Hat (Black)".

*Once equipped with the suitable attire you will need to buy yourself a "[[Van|Van (Transport)]]" with a "GigaBus PSV" skin.

*Then you simply drive up to a bus stop of your choice and press the Windows Key to interact with it (ensuring the bus is inside the "Bus Stop" zone).

===The different routes:===

====Western Island Route ([[Kavala]] - [[Athira]])====

This route covers the western side of the island, starting off with "Bus Stop 1" in [[Kavala]] just at the end of the stores, and creating a looped circuit taking in the main road and towns, including the [[Altis International Airport|Airport]] and [[Athira]].

====Eastern Island Route ([[Altis International Airport|Airport]] - [[Pyrgos]])====

This route covers the eastern side of the island, starting off with "Bus Stop 101" in the car park of [[Altis International Airport]]. This is another looped circuit, taking in the edges of the [[The Poseidon Cartel|Poseidon]] lands, including their main hub of activity, [[Pyrgos]]. It is worth noting that for this route it would be wise to purchase a Poseidon [[Border Pass]] as the [[The Poseidon Cartel|cartel]] members may not want you operating the Bus Service without it. More information can be found on the [[Border Pass]] page.

===During the Journey:===

Once you have driven up to your first Bus Stop you will see a notification telling you where to go for the next stop on your selected bus route. Simply follow the road until you reach the next stop at which point you will automatically be given some money because you've completed one leg of the bus route. To start another leg simply press the "Windows Key" again. Follow the bus stop indicators as many times as you would like to earn some money, following the bus routes around the island.

"No buses are running." - Exactly as it says on the tin. Why not start one yourself?
