In-game description:

"Sure, there are voices in the back of your mind right now whispering "this is a ludicrous idea". But you know what? As soon as you nervously tune into WorldWide FM and instantly shatter every window in a ten block radius, you're never going to hear those voices, or anything else, ever again."

Me when I take this out for the first time.

[SeberHusky]

Now I'm wondering if it will have coding to be able to be heard within a certain 1 or 2 or more block radius of the vehicle? Kind of like the stunt prop sirens but on a larger scale.

[MatthewH]

I wonder if this will be a drivable vehicle in freeroam? If it is good luck getting anywhere with the high of it.

[delorianlazarus]

This whole game is going nuts

 

I remember the old days, where driving a BF Surfer made you look strange......

 

very, very old days ....

The front and rear speaker-banks look like they might fold down. 

 

As for the DJ deck and big-ass-skull... well... Magical cut-scene disassembly and stuff... maybe? 

[slim0121]

Anyone know how to 'use' the decks on this thing?

 

Edit: I don't think you can do anything with this bus, except drive it & crash into traffic lights.

 

i can't find a way how to hop on the decks & I don't think other players can 'dance' around the bus like they can in clubs.

 

I purchased this accidentally, but wasn't too mad at the time I clicked purchase (accidentally).....but I am disappointed now, since it's pretty much useless lol

Fun vehicle, but unfortunately doesn't have its own music..  It looks "dead" with all those speakers.
The nightclubs have an amazing ambientation due to their unique sounds. Could they at least copy the song from your nightclub or add a vanilla dance music??

[Pumpkin Zone]

Where is it stored when you purchase it? Is it Pegasus? It seems like it's way too big for a regular garage, and the description doesn't mention it needing a club to be stored.

It's a pegasus vehicle. You have to travel to the nearest spawn point to get to it (after requesting it through pegasus)

 

The speakers are permanently setup. The skull thing can be detached by hitting it on street lights & traffic lights a few times.

 

It's just not that impressive, to me at least.

 

Edit: I wish we could sell pegasus vehicles. Many people have requested this already over the years.

 

I would get rid of the Journey, Savage & this party bus so fast, even if I could only get 10% of the purchase price back!

Unlike other Pegasus vehicles, this one does not warn you about it. Even though it is pretty self explanatory.

[Eqaulo]

Yeah DON'T buy, complete waste of money. 0 functionality, pegasus vehicle and you can't change livery, unless you buy another one. Don't even know why they showed this off in the trailer because it's completely useless, music isn't even that loud. Basically a very slow and huge radio that can hold 11 people.

[Cutter De Blanc]

>Release cool party bus in the most counter-intuitive way possible

good game rockstar

[wizooord]

Best thing ever, with one major flaw.

 

Pegasus, and the horn doesn't work, so I was disappointed that I can't go outside of it and turn on the engine and radio, but as it turns out, the horn button controls if the radio stays on when you exit it, so we good there. the flaw - You can't go dance mode around it like you can in the club. Which is kind of a bummer.

Yeah I quickly backed out of the game after I learned this. Yet when I logged back in, maze bank shows the price as a transaction, except my balance was still the same and I don't have the bus? The hell?

[Skeve613]

I managed to break off almost all the pieces on the top of the bus during the nightclub setup mission where you have to steal the bus, and got an amusingly snarky text message from Tony telling me not to destroy the entire bus.

 

In my opinion, rather than a rusty school bus with a bunch of poorly attached props, for the asking price we should have gotten something more along these lines:

 

[DrKrankenstein]

well, got one, enjoying the hell out of it, this ones worth it for the reactions alone

[SUPERSAD]

I bought several of them, cause I like some design very much...

 

... but i was sure i could host some parties with it.

 

 

 

I think it`s broken (no dj, no npc come, not beeing able to do the nightclub dance moves, etc, somebody to sit at the stearing wheel, only radio stations...)

But I am looking forward to place them (only 1 at a single time) at xmas in the snow at night

[Fox2Quick]

Used it in the setup. Probably won’t buy, but it would be cool to have parked up in a big lot for a car meet. 

[Dr.Rosenthal]

I haven't even got mine from Pegasus yet, and here I'm reading that 1) NPC's won't crowd around it and dance(!?), and 2) it doesn't play any music?

 

Ffs...

[Gaffa]

Use the horn (click in = on, click in again = off) for the bus to play the radio station out loud - whether you're in the vehicle or not. 

 

... 

 

Anyone purchase all the liveries for it?  Think I bought 7, Pegasus List now has 64 in it... oops. 

[No Use For A Name]

I bought one and it gave me the wrong livery. Nice, it’ll only cost another $1,385,000 to get the right one. 

 

So far I’ve only found one use for this thing: passive mode war zone trolling while blaring East Los Santos FM

[Cutter De Blanc]

I bought this f*cking Party Bus and  I don't regret it even a little bit

Quick question, if I f*cking destroy all the speakers on top does it still play the music at max volume?

Ideally you want to keep the psychedelic looking Skull on top because it's an awesome looking fixture, not sure how many traffic lights it can take out before it breaks.

[jpm1]

awesome vehicle. but it seems we can't dance right. maybe R* should allow us to dance anywhere

un dos tres quatro :P

[Cahill--EFC]

Becareful where you take it...… and collecting it is difficult.

 

 

 

[normanself]

So many negatives with this

Shame it doesn't 'stream' the club music, no dj, no crowd, not customisable beyond the choice of artwork, all for only 1.3 million.

 

A missed opportunity. 

 

 

 

 

(Will buy one anyway)

I suppose my character can be the dj instead then

[Lemoyne outlaw]

i was in a car meet earlier. and one of the players brought the festival bus to the meet. and i really enjoyed it. i liked listening to the music as i was walking around and looking at the cars. plus we got on top of it and danced around. plus it was a nice view of all the cars. i still would not buy this thing. but if you go to a car meet. you should bring it along.
