Student Exchange

Student Exchange is the second mission from the Official Map Extension, and 14th mission overall. Just like the previous mission, Expansion, Michael Bach is the main client.

This is also the first mission to specifically ask the player for bendy buses assignment.

Dialog
Michael Bach:
 * Hello, this is Michael Bach. Good job on the new route.  We've received great feedback from residents.  I already have a new task for you.  Both the city and state want to promote cooperation between local students and tech companies.


 * Let's create a route that connects the university and Wachowski Industries to the business park. Besides establishing new routes, it's also our job to dramatically increase demand for bus travel throughout the region.  As this is a major task, I suggest we immediately start with stops around Kerststadt.

Description
Create new route to support the exchange between students and tech companies.

Objectives

 * Have a route that connects the following stops:
 * Wachowski Industries
 * University of Technology
 * At least 4 business park stops
 * Add at least 5 ace drivers to it
 * Add at least 5 bendy buses to it
 * Drive the route in round trip while drivers and buses are assigned
 * Level up all Kerststadt stops to Level 7

Rewards
One new Decal.

Analysis
The easiest way to complete this mission is to reroute the route from the previous mission, taking all stops in Kerststadt proper and then going directly to Astra - Park, calling any four stops.

Alternatively, one may reroute one of the following routes, if any of them still exist, or even have 5 ace drivers and buses assigned:
 * Astra - Park to Port Amber route (established during To the sea)
 * Either of the routes established in Sightseeing

Because all Kerststadt stops start at level 6, driving on a route covering all stops there plus 4 business park stops should be enough to boost them to level-up once, and complete the mission in one round.
