Drivers

Drivers are the in-game component in Bus Simulator: Ultimate. They are non-playable characters (NPC) in the game.

Description
Drivers are required in your bus company to drive another Routes, and they are another source of profits for your company besides yourself. While you can actually drive the bus yourself (as the company's owner), you can hire drivers and send them to work. When drivers are sent to work, a timer indicates their working duration will appear. Once they have finished their work, a notification will appear and you can get back to them to get your profits.

Drivers can be sent to work even if the player is not playing the game, so your company can still get money from them after they have done their work.

There are 30 drivers available in the game, and each of them will provide a bonus in terms of speed for your travels. The faster ones will provide the better speeds.

Strategy
To access the drivers list, click the "Driver" button in the main menu.

If you want to get extra profits for your company, hire a driver and send him to a specific route. Make sure you have two vehicles so you can drive the other bus manually to go to the opposite route. By the time you finish your route, your driver should be finished as well.

If you don't want to drive but you still want to get profits, send a driver to work and leave the game until the driver has finished his work. Note also the duration of his work. When the driver has finished his work and a notification appear, return to the game to get your profits.

Note that once you have sent a driver to work, they won't be able to come back until they have completed their route.

To see how much time left your driver has, click the "Driver" button on the main menu. Click the "Show" button next to your driver list and the remaining time will be shown there.
