The Bus Update 2.1 - BETA

Update 2.1 of the Early Access of The Bus is now available as BETA for testing.

This beta adds the new online traffic radio to The Bus (live events): Whenever the radio station "Flashbass.FM" is LIVE on air, unexpected traffic situations happen in the virtual Berlin of THE BUS. You can report these to the studio via your mobile phone, just like in real life, and the radio host will announce the traffic situations and obstructions you have reported - just like a real radio station!

Moreover, you can expect bug fixes and improvements.

For the full detailed list of changes, please, see the changelog below.
