Anyone used to create bus routes on GTA?

[4504]

I remember when GTA 3 came out, and I discovered the bus vehicle, I soon began to create my own routes around the city, in the bus, I've done it on GTA vice city and GTA IV, did anyone else do this?

[richie]

I will confess it was a guilty pleasure

The Getaway: Black Monday. The single deck buses in it sound like the NXWM Geminis! Sounded like a hoover.

Lol same here.
Even more so when I got my hands on Vice City which allowed you to pick up/drop off passengers at the stops dotted around the city.
I've also spent many an evening playing The Getaway games, just driving around London stopping at bus stops while driving either a Routemaster or an Optare Delta.  ;D

Algonquin (Fishmarket South) - Algonquin (Star Junction) - Broker (Bus Station) - Algonquin (Fishmarket South) (Clockwise)
Algonquin (Fishmarket South) - Broker (Bus Station) - Algonquin (Star Junction) - Algonquin (Fishmarket South) (Anti-Clockwise)
Maybe a bit longer than the pendeford circular was  :-[

Here are some routes that have been created by a bus enthusiast group called LTA, they play GTA IV and come up with some bus routes, and give quite logical reasons as to why they've created the route:-

The ones I remember doing within The Getaway games:

• A circular around the outer roads of the entire map.
• A circular of just the map to the south of the river.
• Hyde Park Art Gallery via Oxford Street to either that square in Shoreditch where the boxing club is or Liverpool Street Station.
• Tower Hill to Belgravia Square/Victoria via the Embankment and Westminster.

Sometimes I would even drive a car from a residential tower block to an area where the buses could be found, park up, find a bus, take control of it and start my shift.  ;D

Glad Im not the only one! I must confess I recreated the 2[Hove Beach-Tudor]/3[Hove Beach-Castle Gardens Bus Lane]/3A[Hove beach-Castle Garden City] on Gta4, I can still remember them too :P interworking at Hove Beach lmfao! Yes I am an Omsi regular too, infact I make a lot of local repaints (Plenty of NXWM) and general mods for the game! :) I'd also say anyone not playing it is missing out, much better than any laggy TML crap! Takes some getting used to though!
