Central Bus Station

The Central Bus Station is the main bus station in the town of Seaside Valley.

The Tutorial starts at the Central Bus Station, but it is not unlocked until the start of the mission Connected, with the player required to possess 12 buses for unlocking the station.

The bus station's importance can be seen with some features of it distinct from other bus stops: Despite its name, it is located to the west side of the game map.
 * It starts at level 13, instead of 2 for most other bus stops.
 * While most bus stops feature a pair of bus bays or roadside stops, the Central Bus Station features 6 platforms. The assignment of platforms to routes is decided at route planning, the platform number not known until the player drives the bus into the bus station. The assignment remains constant until the player changes the route in concern.

Missions Involving the Central Bus Station

 * Connected: Unlocks the station (player must possess 12 buses)
 * Let's get down to business: Player must plan a tourist route with a stop at the Central Bus Station, and (including it) to have drivers assigned to at least 10 routes stopping there, generating income.
 * Sightseeing: Both routes required in the mission must have a stop at the Central Bus Station.
 * Nightlife:  One of the routes required in the mission must have a stop at the Central Bus Station.

Driving Guide
All buses enter the stop from the east (the entrance is opposite to the in-town bus garage), subject to a speed limit of 25 kph. Just before the turn into the platforms, the game will instruct the player to enter a platform. The player should then drive the bus to the alley left of the numbered platform as instructed.

An indicator bonus is awarded when the player lights the right indicator upon entrance of the platform, as well as lighting the left indicator upon leaving the platform – this is despite the platform has to be entered turning left and departed turning right.

A third bonus will be awarded when the player lights left at the final turn before leaving the station.
