Bus in GTA 5

Overview

The Bus is a large passenger vehicle in the Service class, essentially the city counterpart to the Airport Bus. It seats 16 and is sold through GTA Online's in-game internet for $500,000. Tested figures are almost identical to the Airport Bus, reaching 66 mph flat out and lapping the benchmark circuit in 1:52.564. All-wheel drive does little for pace given its size, since it is built to carry a full load of passengers rather than to race. The Bus has been available since GTA Online launched in September 2013. Its close relative, the Airport Bus, costs more and is sold through Warstock Cache & Carry instead, despite near-identical performance on the benchmark circuit.
