Alright, all you virtual bus drivers out there, brace yourselves for some electrifying news! It’s time to park your diesel guzzlers and get ready to jump on the electric bus bandwagon, as Ebusco is all set to zoom into Bus Simulator 21!
Following the recent announcement by astragon Entertainment and stillalive studios about the much-anticipated Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop update, we’ve got our hands on another exciting bit of news. The Dutch bus manufacturer Ebusco is making its grand entry into the game, bringing with it three spanking new electric buses and six fresh interior designs. These zero-emission, all-electric buses are ready to shake things up in the virtual transportation network of Angel Shores and Seaside Valley.
Ebusco expands fleet with three new buses
The Ebusco 2.2 – 12m, a 12-meter-long bus that can pack in up to 90 passengers, the 18-meter-long articulated electric bus Ebusco 2.2 – 18m with room for up to 150 passengers, and the Ebusco 3.0, another 12-meter-long bus which can accommodate up to 95 passengers. Each bus comes fully equipped with 2 axles and 3 doors for a realistic bus driving experience.
The Ebusco Bus Pack is the first DLC from the Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop – Season Pass. The pass features a total of four upcoming DLCs that promise to enhance the game experience of the simulation. Following the Ebusco Bus Pack, we’ll see the Official School Bus Extension and the Thomas Built Buses® Bus Pack. Exciting times ahead, eh?
On May 16th, the Ebusco Bus Pack, Season Pass, and the big Next Stop Update will be released, bringing with them numerous gameplay improvements and a brand-new game mode. The Official Map Extension with new orders and dedicated versions for PS5™ and Xbox Series X|S will also become available.
