New Electric Buses DLC | City Bus Manager | Episode 34

Hello everybody and welcome back to City Bus Manager!
We're back in Tarvin today where we're going to be taking a look at the brand new E-Bus & Green Energy DLC. This DLC sees a range of new electric buses and charging stations added to our game. Unfortunately however, there's not many for us to choose from currently as we're on a UK Map.
We're going to be seeing how we can improve the Chester Park & Ride with some electric buses. I can't see our company using these as an entire fleet, but for some services in city centres, it's definitely going to benefit our organisation!

You can upgrade your timing points on your CPR to charge the bus while it awaits also, build solar panels at the Depo to help charge the buses.

[@JoeDobsongaming]

That’s a good idea, though to be fair the range on some of these buses, they manage a full day out without needing a charge 😁

[@stevenhunt3418]

With having the solar panels you will save energy and once you charge up your bus at night the extra energy you have can be sold back so, its an extra money maker.

[@barte8522]

@@stevenhunt3418Do you need stand alone charging point even if you have the big solar panels or do u need the smaller ones too

[@stevenhunt3418]

You will need a charging point to charfe them up the put the solar panels down and the canopy over the bus will help you get more power from the sun when it rises. I watched a video from ZuBoat and he explained everything.​@barte8522

[@Alanw80]

I purchased the DLC too. I'm liking it but obviously at present with the dlc it is European buses until mods create electric buses suitable for the UK. I have the chargers at the bus bays also the solar panels and the covers over the bus bays which can cut your electricity costs and any extra electric you produce is automatically sold to the power company. Also if you goto the bus stop option by clicking on the mini map you can add charging stations at the bus stops meaning your buses will charge at bus stops while on the route.

[@JoeDobsongaming]

WHAAAAA? That's great advice! I didn't realise they'd brought that feature in to the bus stops haha. Cheers so much for the help Alan! :D

[@DRIV3R931]

Just to let you know. Joe that you can get solar panels and shelter for your electric buses mind you you may have to go to the workshop and get electric buses but it was worth it and you will have to upgrade the stops to serve electric buses or the electric will be dead before they get to the Depot😊

[@shaneyboyyt]

Enjoying the content. I just wanted to add that you can give buses fleet numbers now in the panel that appears when you click on the bus in the depot

[@SL_Transport2]

Nice video! Maybe consider extending the CPR as well at the other end as some western suburbs of Chester are still not served

[@JoeTW67]

I’m getting DLC for Christmas and I’m so excited! The DLC looks awesome.

[@JoeDobsongaming]

It's really really good! Well I'd expect nothing less off these guys! :D

[@MetroTitanD78]

The bus models are just getting better and better. I really hope you do get a Titan B15 for the heritage fleet.

[@32446]

Good bus fleet Joe and nice video

[@soj_89]

Make a CPR B which goes halfway to the zoo where it is busiest, but it only operates at peak times. Maybe rename the original the CPR A as well. Also the Bus Space Photovoltaic is a solar panel which produces electricity so you don't have to pay for so much electricity from your supplier.

[@jacksonstrainandbusadventures]

Joe there is some eclipse 2s at stagecoach East Midlands

[@U4GBUS]

The "ignore preferred vehicle type" is in the shift schedule settings

[@brianarnold4812]

You probably know already but you can put the destination and the number on the bus by typing it in the spaces below Reg plate. You can also give your bus a unique code fleet number which shows up on the outside of the bus. Don’t know if it works on many of the steam network buses

[@DylanStrevens2]

Hi Joe! i watch all your vids half the time and id like to add my comment by saying can you add a route 9 starting at Wrexham going through chester and then finishing at tarvin can you put that route in but uses Streetlites and Enviro 200's and e400's (Rarley for e400) please do it , cherrio! -Dylan

[@Enviro400ev-eu8ks]

I like the content Joe. Does it have the big white thing that speeds up charging like in real life. You could make a route just for the Enviro 400ev and a livery that stands out from the others and still looks good. That would be fantastic. I hope you have a great day

[@albertof.8589]

I think there is an option to build chargers on the final stops of the route to charge the buses while they are stopped

[@markconnett563]

On your shift schedule click on settings ,you will find allocate any bus regardless if you not got enough grouped

[@MiniDJRNUSJDJD]

The CPR from Chester Bus Interchange to Chester Zoo it follows the 109

[@walesandwest]

hi there, liking the video, i have notice when you pressed on the blue box at the bottom of the screen to show what you can researcher and all that, there is two ways of payment, how do i get that please

[@samfidler8802]

You should make the chester park and ride electric and give them a fancy livery to go with it

[@nathanlowe567]

About Replaced all of the Gemini 2 as the new Electric buses.

[@BunnetGuy]

Pretty sure the send alternative bus option is in the shift schedule options?

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Ahhhh of course it is! That's where I'm going wrong haha :D

[@jonny-simulation-gamer]

i purchased the dlc aswell

[@JoeDobsongaming]

It's a great DLC! I'm thoroughly enjoying it :D

[@ForburyLion]

Could have some E branding on the Electric buses? On my game I'm doing colour coded routes which gives me some livery variations in the depot

[@Woodsglint68808]

Ive been watching this series for a while and have just brought the game and am wandering how you have hiden the game buses so that only modded buses appear on the shop screen?

[@CGSkins]

And the destination boards and fleet numbers work on Mr Chips buses

[@JoeDobsongaming]

It's incredible isn't it! MrChips does some absolutely fantastic buses :D

[@CGSkins]

@@JoeDobsongaming yes it is

[@syberracer2984]

How do you disable the base game buses?

[@RandomerMitchell1]

Yutong bus you said what is leeds is a yutong e10

[@danielkulcsar6756]

On CPR unfortunately, you only changed the destination station on the first timetable, not on the others, because only copy departures times, but nothing else.

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Oh crumbs! I'll have to revisit that won't I :/

[@AJSAN1971]

Have you figured out how the destination displays work? Asking for an incompetent friend.......

[@MiniDJRNUSJDJD]

Can you give it destinations and fleet codes

[@georgeratcliffe7752]

You denied a contract for a bus for £5000 saying you didn't have enough buses, Could you not use one of the coaches?

[@Tristan-benge]

How do you turn off bus in the game like bendy ones

[@JoeDobsongaming]

In the main menu, if you click the mods folder you can click which buses you do and don’t want 😁

[@Realford.gaming]

The “w” is probably for copyright reasons

[@KyleHulton]

I can let you in on that. It's not a copyright thing at all, it's very much an in-joke as making the model took quite a bit of time and then it became a collaborative effort. There was a joke of Enviro When? When is it coming, which was later shortened to Wenviro, and the name stuck :) A little easter egg if you will :)

[@PWASEK34]

This has to be fake otherwise this women would’ve of had her head ripped off?
