Don't care who was the brains, this was perfect. "Rap about your problems" lol.

If you follow the rules you don't need it -1 

Agree with supreme, only you put yourself in that situation.

List the ways you think it will be abused, be constructive.

No delight me of teleportation system.

However, the system bus missions seems to be pretty cool, and closer to reality.
There are 2 types of work with coaches, "municipal", and with "long travel". I that TC uses the second type I believe. If changes to the way you suggested, got 3 achievements that way: over 1 'load'. Coach, Fuel and Trash.

It's good to have your feedback.

@Dobby, the /taxi system is an idea that i thought would be useful, it's not set in stone, and wasn't why i created the idea for bus missions in the first place

Instead of saying no no no, be constructive or don't bother!

It's not about not liking the bus, it's about giving it a use of it's own.

An Advantage would be where someone could abuse it to do missions faster, or escape cops in an easier fashion. With the anti-troll methods placed on it, it can't be abused.

The only thing gained is the ability to use less appreciated truck park locations and easier access to LV which is lacking in the teleport department, especially as a trucker.

Yes Emmie, the reward idea isn't to give people an "advantage" over driving, it's to speed up people getting to certain destinations. I.e. Mostly, it will take you to the nearest of, rather than list all of them and teleport you to one of your choice.

It's important to have a reward that people will actually use and is worth having, otherwise only the elitists who want all achievements will do it.

The /taxi idea isn't set in stone there spekter, you can chop and change if you have any kind of constructive ideas on how to better it

It was just a brainfart while i was typing the main idea of the suggestion

Hi guys!

Welcome to my suggestion, this has been suggested before, however I feel it's worth another chance at suggesting it, giving points as to why it would be awesome, as well as a very useful reward that a lot of players could really appreciate and learn to love.

BUS DRIVER

In CT, when coach missions were created, it was probably too difficult or maybe impossible to script it, so a bus couldn't be driven the way we'd expect.

In real life, you get on a bus which will stop at point A-B-C-D-E-F-G. It goes along a route, until it turns back around, and keeps going.

On Ct, it acts like a coach, taking people to and from airports, bus's do this, but in a more public style, rather than just "Staff" for a whole company.

I believe that now you've managed to script Trash missions which has multiple set points, it could be possible to script a stand-alone mission for a bus, giving people a reason to use it, as most people dislike it's poor handling and slow speed. At least with the coach you get 150+  KPH and poor steering

It will also pave a way to people creating new and exciting bus mods, much like how Nyclo8 created a coach mod (Sorry if i spelt his name wrong) which is amazing and even i have used this mod!

What would be unlocked?

500k + /Taxi command, which gives you a list of destinations you can travel to for X amount of $$$$. Which CAN be used while you're a suspect, however NOT as a cop.

So it's not overpowered, when using /taxi there's a 5 minute cool down, as well as a 30 second wait while you "teleport" so you move from lets say, Whetstone to a landmark in LV, the Airport, you'll be stood still in Whetstone for 25 seconds, and the camera zoom out that's been created can be used, which will drag across the map, where you'll be shown at the 30 second mark (or there abouts ) Not only does CT get to show off sexy camera moves, but also the player gets the feeling of moving and not just "popping" from one point to another, as well as not being able to "quickly" vanish from cops.

If a cop is in /n, then the /taxi will fail stating "The taxi driver has noticed you are wanted and has abandoned you", which also stops suspects abusing it to troll cops, and although they can use it, they'd have to use it wisely and only for emergencies.

The only locations you can land will be landmarks around the map, including LS (which has some horrible spawn points, if any at all especially for truckers) and will also allow people to park in the more remote areas, or closer to their house as they can use /taxi to arrive at their trucks (if you add truck park menu).

Example of a menu system for /taxi



Amounts are an example, it would depend on your location, more than the "speciality" of the dealership. The longer you travel the more it costs ranging from $1000-$5000

The missions are simple, they'd be around LS, LV, SF and anywhere bus stops are located.

This could, if the server could handle it, pave the way for Tram missions in SF, however it's debateable whether that'd be just a grind going round in circles all day, possibly causing crashes.

I hope to see bus missions! It'd be a nice addition!

Thanks for reading!

Eurovision is all about which country likes each other, not about the actual singing.

I was fining players around DLTD and the quarry, when this guy rammed me. I went down towards LS, and again he rammed me as i was trying to pass, but he failed and crashed himself.

I then decided to get some more proof so this fool can actually get dealt with. I drove following his friend who i knew he was following, and thus i got enough proof. His friend tried to DM me off video, but i got him reversing into me right after i started recording. As you can see, the chat matches with the first video and proves that it was the same moment and nothing was said by me to provoke.

Bought VIP so i didn't have log in issues paid off as although it had fallen to 32, it went back up to 49!

Guys, I know how tough thieving is, so i'll generally if close to the unload let you go in and then arrest you. If you crash or stop, that's your fault, i'll arrest you then.

This guy however stopped, paid me to not jail him.

It's not that he paid me that's bad, it's the insult that it brings, as if i'm shallow enough to break cop rules for $15,000. It could be $1m i'd still not do it.

I'm all for fun but please don't insult me with bribes...i'd rather just have a laugh online, and everyone gets the /work they need done in a happy manner

@Admins, vogan realised his mistake online and did apologise, so perhaps a slap on the wrist rather than anything dramatic. He just needs to understand what things like this lead to for BOTH parties involved.

Thanks

Tom.
