New & Improved Transportation System

So in GTA IV, the transportation system was improved greatly; you could hail a taxi, take helitours, take a subway, it really was a big change from the III era and actually enhanced the New York vibe of the game.

So, in V I'm sure the emphasis on subways and taxis aren't as strong, but why not take it up a notch?

Taking the Bus around Los Santos:

I'm sure outside downtown Los Santos, taxis will be less common, but buses shouldn't. But sometimes you'll still need to go places yet you're too lazy to drive. Why not let us utilize buses this time? In IV, there were parked buses and bus stops, yet you never saw the bus on the road. This made the buses useless. In V it should be different. If you can't find a taxi, just wait at a bus stop and a bus comes up, then you set a destination and use the bus like you did with the taxi? It would be a fairly good experience imo.

Riding Tour Buses:

As we all should know by now, this brand new-reimagined San Andreas will be huge, and will most likely have a wide network of roads and freeways outside of the hustle and bustle of Los Santos. We might even get scenic byways. What better way to tour them all than on a tour bus? It would be a great experience and allow you to see almost everything you pass, and get you around this supposedly large world.

I want you all to tell me what you all think about these ideas, and also share some things you all would love to see added/removed or improved about the transportation system in V.

The front looks like a Ripley's front to me

We even dont know if we'll be able to earn money while doing that Part Time job (VICE CITAAY!!!)

The question is Will be see buses that often as we used to see Taxis in IV?

 

Either way i think Buses should be cheaper just like IRL and Taxis should be more expexsive.

I guess buses should be cheaper, it would look stupid to get off a bus and you spent 70 bucks.

I think if theres a fully fledged bus system, it should go by a schedule like you would in real life say every 10 - 15 minutes but I highly doubt it would do that, it'll probably be every couple of minutes like it was in Vice City but i'm sure if you drive a bus, there will be hundreds of them on the roads...

Would be a great idea to have a good reliable bus system(unlike real life) for when I don't want to drive myself. Tour buses on the other hand, I can see it maybe being in a mission and not something you can take freely to get around.

 

Also would be fun to drive the bus and pick up people to gain money like VC.

A way the bus system could work, is you get on pay a fair then a map pops up with several bus stops. Choose one the closest to your destination then ride along or have a fast travel option like taxis.

Yeh, but I would never honestly use it.

Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?

 

 

OT: i like these new busses, more windows =]

Maybe not realistic but a big improvement of gameplay:

walk up to a busstop. Hit a butten (on your controler) and a bus will show up in the distance. So you'll never have to wait long for a bus to show up.

In other words, yes, I do want to blow up a bus full of passengers & Keanu Reeves.

 

I read in one preview that you'll see workers sitting at a bus stop in the morning, then working in another area later that day. Obviously that's not a confirmation that the buses work as in real life, but it's a hint that they will.

I just thought I'd bump this.

Does anybody like,the ideas? No?

Bumping topics is a billion tomes better than creating a new one.

 

Unfortunately the only bus we see up close in the second trailer is empty. L.A. Noire managed to have working buses that picked up passengers & if Team Bondi could do it, it should be a breeze for R*.
