Me and my bus.

Recommended Posts

So, while up North/West not far from the airfield after a successful loot, I was wandering through the wilderness hunting animals, cooking meat and trying to get somewhere safe. When suddenly I spotted a strange object sticking out from behind a cluster of trees...

To my surprise I found a bus, a working bus with fuel, damaged, but it ran!, like a charm I must say. I was surrounded by fields and forests all around so I needed to find a road since going 20mph is rather painful after a while, I navigated my way through a forest and found a road after a few minutes. I decided at this point to head in my original direction, South/West.

After belting down the roads at 65 - 75mph enjoying the scenery I decided I would attempt to get to Elektro, roughly knowing where to go and following some road signs. A good 20 - 30 minutes later or so I was there.

On my third drive through of Elektro I began my bus adventure. And it was magical.

I suggest watching in fullscreen in HD.

So... after my magical aventure, I took this final screenshot of my glorious bus.

Then I hauled ass out of Cherno.

This is what I risked doing this.

It was the most fun I've had in a while though, I expected one of those survivors to shoot me in the face and steal my bus, but they were pretty cool. Neither said a word mind, not a thing. I even said hi soon after picking them up and got nothing back, which was slightly worrying.

I hope you enjoyed the ride.

And you owe me one first guy, I saved your ass. ;)

I need somebody to take me on a grocery run. Why did you ditch the bus?

I did love my bus, but I have no need or use for one, I am a lone survivor so having a bus makes me a massive target, and it's hardly a safe way to get around. I headed back up north from the firestation to my domain, which is just the wilderness..

I hope someone who had the time and need for a bus found mine and repaired it.

For me though, it was tempting... but I like to be silent and I stay in the shadows usually, hence why I am still alive. If I find a car, atv or bike, I'd probably keep it. A bus though... the only thing I could think of using it for would be to set up my own bus company and to travel around chernarus. Like I experienced there, I enjoyed that, but it was well outside of my usual play style, I never go back to Elektro or Cherno after initial spawn looting runs to get basics. And I wanted to do something mental that had a good chance of killing me.

That bus... It did something to me, I started west of the N/W airfield, deep in the wilderness and drove it to not only the coast, but the two biggest and most dangerous cities on the map.

If I find another bus, I may attempt to set up a bus company with player support across a few servers, get a gang of bus drivers together.
