Airport Bus in GTA 5

Overview

The Airport Bus is a large passenger vehicle in the Service class, styled after real-world airport shuttle buses. It seats 16, the most of any vehicle in this group, and Warstock Cache & Carry sells it for $550,000. In testing it reaches 66 mph flat out and laps the benchmark circuit in 1:52.511, one of the slower results in this group. All-wheel drive does little for outright pace here, since its huge size and mass are built for carrying a crowd, not for racing. It has been available since GTA Online launched in September 2013. A near-identical city Bus is sold separately through GTA Online's in-game internet with almost the same tested figures.
