With the Setra Bus Pack 1 DLC, Bus Simulator you can look forward to two new officially licensed and faithfully modeled buses of the well-known brand Setra, which have never been seen before in any other simulation game: the Setra S 412 UL and the Setra S 417 UL business of the manufacturer's popular MultiClass UL series.
