Kawaii Bus Simulator

Kawaii Bus Simulator is a Brazillian transit group that is designed to allow for 24/7 operation of vehicles. Owned by Thekawaiidsv3012, it succeeded all of his former operations due to staff in former groups being unavailable to drive in set run times, so this group follows the British model for operations.

The group operates local transit in the fictional city of Kawaii Island and regional buses to three other cities south of it (located in Santa Catarina state, Brazil). The system also formerly operated one intercity line to Uniao da Vitoria, which connected to Transportes Coletivos Iguacu services there. The city is based on various transit systems in Brazil and has some elements from DTA/KTA (Japan-Liberty was part of an older map), while elements are taken from other games or planned group projects.

Note: There is no run quota and you only need to join the group to drive.

Please note that the main language of the game is Portuguese but some staff do speak English.

History
Following the downfall of Transpark in late March 2021, a replacement group would be needed to provide full 24/7 access for drivers and players who didn't want to be constrained to specific run times. Thus, on April 4, 2021, Kawaii Bus Simulator was opened with a few models available, along with about 8 different bus stations, allowing for multiple routes between various locations. The initial four models represented the four transit groups Thekawaiidsv3012 was operating: DTA, SIM Florianopolis, Transpark and Transportes Coletivos Iguacu but rebranded into "Bus Simulator". These units were repainted into basic liveries. Most buses have been repainted upon introduction to the game while others maintain their original liveries.

On April 5, 2021, gamepass buses were introduced, starting with the Mascarello Granvia7 articulated bus and the Neobus Mega BRT. Eventually, "extended" buses for high capacity routes were introduced, along with free options for players who do not have Robux to buy gamepass models. At the same time, auto delete was also added to public buses so that they would be deleted if the driver jumps out of the seat after spawning the vehicle.

In mid-April 2021, the game was expanded to feature a proper downtown, known as Japan-Liberty in English and also added special services, such as express, local and circular (which can start/end at any local terminal in game). Throughout this time, more free buses were added to improve variety- most reused from Thekawaiidsv3012's other groups. This also added executive class service, which is provided by pink Marcopolo Audace coaches and as of mid-2021, black minibuses.

At the end of April 2021, an intercity route was added to the game, intended to be done with the Marcopolo Audace coach bus but transit buses can also be operated on the route. This route runs between downtown Kawaii Island and Uniao da Vitoria's downtown terminal for connections to TCI, although KBS buses cannot run TCI routes; access to areas outside of the KBS intercity service in Uniao da Vitoria are blocked off and during TCI runs, it is not possible to run the KBS intercity line. The update also added the St. Emily bus terminal and renamed Getulio Vargas to the intercity terminal, making it easier for telling operators running the intercity route where to start and end their service.

On May 13, 2021, Kawaii Island was expanded and a new terminal, known as Eldorado Garden was opened. In addition, CAIO Apache S21 articulated buses were added to the fleet as free buses, alongside the paid Busscar Urbanuss Plus with SPTrans specifications in preparation for a new BRT line. Gas stations were also added for even more roleplay options.

On May 19, 2021, a new update added dealerships and service centres for buses specific to manufacturers. The three dealerships in the map can handle Volkswagen, Volvo and Mercedes-Benz buses, as well as feature a static model of a flagship bus outside the building. The dealerships also have a rear maintenance and parking area where drivers may bring their buses in for service. Prior to this update, buses were serviced at a garage in Morro de Barreiros, although the garage there still stands.

On Nay 21, 2021, CAIO Millennium low floor buses were added in anticipation of a future BRT line, being the first full low floor models in the fleet. These buses wear a red livery, theoretically assigned to Sao Paulo's division 7 and feature left side service doors to serve island bus stops. These buses also carry SPTrans-based branding similar to the Busscar Urbanuss Plus articulated unit which is a gamepass.

In June 2021, a special Pride bus was available for people to drive, being only a repainted version. The unit also has a rainbow flag, however, it is a repainted CAIO Apache IV on a Volkswagen 17-230 chassis. An admin version was also debuted at this time, the only difference between it and the public version is a TACOM reader and ticketing system at the entrance.

On June 19, 2021, Sao Joao Maria was remodeled and became Terminal Fazenda, based on a standard urban terminal with a paid area, making use of the fare card tool in the game. Buses that serve here load through all doors if equipped. Terminal Alto do Ipiranga was also remodelled and received a new upper level, allowing it to serve more buses and provide a new layover area on the upper level.

On June 22, 2021, a Volkswagen 8-140 OD with Marcopolo bodywork was added, being an executive class minibus. Hailing from Transpark service, it has been repainted in a black livery and its rollsign replaced with a LED display.

On June 23, 2021, a new port area was added based off the port in Itajai, which renamed the bus terminal nearby as Kawaii Island Port. The port itself is a prop and is not accessible in game. The bus terminal there was also remodeled after Palhoca Terminal in real life. At the same time, a new midibus was added to help provide more variety.

On June 24, 2021, Terminal Sao Leopoldo was relocated to the top of a high-elevation area, creating more challenges for drivers who choose to drive this route and providing more roleplay options for drivers.

On June 26, 2021, the long awaited Marcopolo Viale was added to the game, built by Gabrielbiel99. This bus is on the Mercedes-Benz OF-1722 M chassis and is based on SIM Florianopolis specifications.

On June 30, 2021, BRT stations with high level platforms were built at key points around Kawaii Island, on a single line operating between Alto de Ipirianga and the intercity terminal. Called the "Transmunicipal" line, this route is served by 23 m Mercedes-Benz O500MDA/Neobus Mega BRTs and 12 m Mercedes-Benz O500Ms with high level doors on the left side, while fares must be paid before entering the buses. While some stations are in the centre median of the roadway, some are off to the side to allow access to intersections. The stations at the terminals only have door openings on one side and are located adjacent to conventional service bays. However, conventional service buses may follow the BRT route but cannot serve those stops directly. For the BRT stops, these require proof of payment and passengers must board/exit on the left. In addition, as of July 2, 2021, all BRT buses are equipped with automated next stop announcements.

On July 2, 2021, the Neobus New Mega, on a Volkswagen chassis was released.

On July 5, 2021, the CAIO Apache VIP V was released with the pre-production grey scheme, which was also put into service ahead of its real life counterpart. These buses are based on an Iveco chassis and are 2022 models, made to basic specifications (lacking side/rear displays). The bus is also significantly wider and lower compared to older versions of the CAIO Apache VIP in game (III and IV).

On July 7, 2021, an extended version of the CAIO Apache VIP V was added as a gamepass. Around this time, some buses were also being refitted with keyboard controls for easier use (such as doors and lighting) compared to the button controls. The Marcopolo Torino articulated bus also received this update in July 2021.

On July 9, 2021, St. Regina Beach was added, being the only terminal where buses must reverse to access. This terminal is located between the port and the city centre and can only be accessed in the direction leading away from the port.

On July 27, 2021, a gamepass CAIO Apache VIP IV articulated bus on a Volkswagen chassis was added alongside more destination displays, particularly adding more specific return displays, subway shuttle and "reserved". The garage was also relocated to the port terminal as it wa snow based on the Palhoca bus interchange, making it easier for buses on conventional routes to start service.

In August 2021, more destination displays were changed alongside the addition of designating the road between Uniao da Vitoria and Kawaii Island as BR-476. In addition, all transit buses are to be equipped with turnstiles and a conductor's seat for increased realism; while executive buses will only receive the card reader. In addition, on August 8, 2021, the 2008 Volkswagen 15-190 EOD with Mascarello Gran Via bodywork was added as another public bus. The auto delete time was also extended from immediately to 1 minutes 40 seconds so drivers can leave their vehicle while on layover (before, exiting the driver's seat would cause the entire bus to delete, including making all passengers inside the vehicle jump and have glitched animation in their avatar) and to take screenshots.

As of August 16, 2021, the Santa Emilly terminal has become an underground station with a paid area, based on a LRT station, with buses not being able to lay over in the terminal but rather outside. In addition, the CAIO Apache VIP V got a custom livery to remove the grey overtone and have it look like it is in revenue service. However, as of August 21, 2021, the livery was somehow reverted to the basic grey with "Kawaii Bus Simulator" written on the side.

On August 28 and 29, 2021, the downtown area was redone to make it look more modern, befitting a major city instead of being a small Japanese-based street. The update added a new subway station called Liberty, more intersections and a new transit interchange, along with more buildings, signage and an experience more befitting Tokyo and Hong Kong with signs from those places. In addition, Morro de Gervaldo was renamed Morro des Barreiros and relocated on a hill behind the supermarket, while some other terminals were relocated closer to the downtown area, The port (and likely the garage) will be moved closer to downtown to create the city centre. At the same time, the Marcopolo Torino is to be refurbished with a completely new model being put into service, replacing the older bugged ex-SIM Florianopolis model from 2020.

On September 7, 2021, Kawaii Island University (known as UFKI) was added to the map, alongside a public extended Marcopolo Torino and the release of the refurbished current-generation Marcopolo Torino. This also added a new route known as UFKI Limited, which operates from major terminals to the university campus to deal with heavy student loads, while local buses can also call at the campus between terminals or stops. Buses operating this route are signed as counterclockwise (south exit) and clockwise (north exit), operating between the city centre and campus. The CAIO Apache VIP IV was also refurbished and a non-air conditioned basic version was put into service.

In mid-September 2021, in a bid to attract bus fans and create an incentive to get more people in the group, Biguacu Transit began operating its fleet of buses in regular service under contract to Kawaii Bus for a few weeks. These buses, complete with real life exposures, became part of a hybrid model to allow for a select group of drivers the ability to experience traditional runs. Drivers operating Biguacu Transit buses could be easily recognized as they have a uniform shirt on their avatar and the buses themselves only operate during official runs as they are inserted by admins. While these events occur, the KBS fleet remains available for others to drive. In addition, to make it easier to distinguish admins and test drivers from players, the former now wear KBS-branded shirts while in game. Players may also purchase drivers' uniforms as a donation, although this is completely optional. Outside of these run times, admin buses for other systems may run in public service as deemed fit.

On September 29, 2021, NovaBUS LFSA 8000 (formerly with Kawaii Transit Authority) entered service under revenue testing, being slightly modified for service in Brazil. This would allow people who are used to driving Brazilian buses get used to operating and riding North American models. Also, in a bid to maintain the free drive atmosphere, the buses will help expand to people who are no longer employed with such groups, due to the downfall of the North American transit industry.

On October 1, 2021, the Brazilian-spec NovaBUS LFS entered service without testing. In addition, the NovaBUS LFSA entered public service as a gamepass bus. Both buses are to help complement the Brazilian fleet and put ex-KTA buses in service. Unlike the Brazilian buses, these do not have conductor seats or turnstiles and are single-person operated, along with having a front farebox. The buses also feature a driver-operated ramp and run number box, which are not found on Brazilian models. They further feature operational accessible bullet lights (which can be used as warning lights) on the front, similar to Toronto Transit Commission buses. However, unlike the original models, the rear displays were deleted to maintain specifications with other models in game.

On October 16, 2021, new billboards were installed in major terminals for the introduction of a subway system. On October 20, 2021, service began on Line 30- Hortela (or the green line) in a separate game known as Kawaii Train Simulator; however it is unknown if more stations will be available for bus services other than Liberdade and Santana. However, KTS shut down on October 23, 2021. Despite a leak of the map, KBS remains open as their developer is resilient to setbacks and will work on making the map better. These billboards have since been removed following the system's developer, joaoopenbve being fired after a leak.

On October 23, 2021, the Mercedes-Benz O500U with CAIO Millenium II bodywork, the Volkswagen 17-230 equipped with Comil Svelto bodywork and CAIO Apache VIP IV bodywork received animated doors. This resulted in an upgrade for the former to keyboard controls as well. At the same time, PAESE (subway shuttle) events were added as a way to include roleplay and runs with the existing buses, operating on Line 1 between Kawaii Port and Liberdade Station. However, subway shuttle service can still be done at any time between Liberdade and Santana stations as Lines 1 or 30.

As of October 27, 2021, more buses are now receiving animated doors and turnstile upgrades to allow for more realistic models.

On November 2, 2021, the Colonia Santana Mental Hospital opened and with it, new routes to shuttle employees. This also added a short section of playable expressway and a new two-lane road, along with a mountain tunnel. This stops differs as the terminal is gated- drivers must press a button to open the gate and make sure their vehicle has passed through before the gate automatically closes when entering and exiting (to prevent escapes). One day later, the 2008 model Volkswagen 17-230 EOD entered service with CAIO Apache VIP II bodywork.

On November 7, 2021, an elevated expressway (downtown bypass) was completed to connect the port with the main highway between Kawaii Island and Uniao da Vitoria, intended at allowing express buses travelling to specific destinations a way to get there faster and allow for more express services to bypass downtown. In game, the expressway is known as BR-288.

On November 8, 2021, articulated buses are getting updated to receive animated doors, working turn signals and other features introduced on some standard buses as part of enhancing the use of this bus type.

In mid-November 2021, the former main garage was reactivated as the regional garage, allowing people to spawn white "Grande KBS+ Integrada" suburban buses (Marcopolo Torino). Despite the differences in branding, these buses can be used for any route, although they are intended for the Uniao da Vitoria and other regional routes with a card reader at the rear door. In addition, the Neobus New Mega and the 2007-2013 Marcopolo Torinos received exterior strip lighting and a "Happy Holidays" P/R for the festive season.

On November 27, 2021, the 1999 Mercedes-Benz OF-1721 and its articulated counterpart were added in the game. This marked the first articulated buses in many months, although the articulated model had some glitches initially. Bus DR114, which is the artiuclated Torino is a former Curitiba unit, maintaining its fleet number and was repainted green to match KBS' base scheme.

On December 10, 2021, the TRIAR livery was added to the 2021 Comil Svelto, which changed its numbers to the 3-digit format used on TRIAR buses. Around this time, holiday wraps and additional lights were added to some vehicles. These were removed on December 26, 2021,

On December 22, 2021. the Van Hool A330 entered service with York Region Transit-based livery. These buses are also surplus from Kawaii Transportation Authority, being the remainder that were not sold to Evergreen Transit. The units were refurbished from the original chassis as part of standardization and to increase the top speed of the buses.

On December 31, 2021, Lagoa Dourada was changed to the towns of Sorocaba and Timbé to add another rural destination for drivers. This also came to provide a route that is restricted to certain buses (15 m models will get stuck if operating this route); while the Timbé/Tijucas section is only recommended for high floor buses due to clearance issues. Moreover, on January 1, 2022, road improvements were implemented. As such, lane markers, bollards and speed bumps on Port Avenue and Sorocaba Road, alongside speed limit signs in these areas to prevent accidents from speeding were also installed. The new area also has a small satellite depot which allows vehicles used for the Sorocaba-Kawaii Island run to be parked there, instead of returning to the main yard.

On January 4, 2022, the cities of Biguacu and Tijucas were added, alongside a new bridge and BR-101 to connect these cities to Kawaii Island, while adding a road between Timbé and Tijucas. This in fact makes Kawaii Island based on different cities in Brazil, with surrounding cities for people to commute to and from (mainly intended at regional buses). However, regional/commuter routes can also be done with the local service fleet. Another satellite depot in Biguacu was added, being attached to the bus terminal. In addition, an admin route, known as "interpraias" (beach shuttle) was added although this can be done with regular buses using regular signage or displaying "especial".

On January 8, 2022, the CAIO Apache VIP II articulated bus entered service, also being a free model. The unit available to the public is former Recife 075, which joins unit 114 in the game and as such, can be spawned side by side.

On January 16, 2022, an airport was built in the southwest part of the map, complete with a new route and road name, the Southwest Corridor. Like a real airport, passengers are dropped off at the departures level and picked up on the arrivals level- passengers are required to exit the bus at the departures level. Despite this, the building has no interior yet although it may change if flights start running from the airport. These services can be run by any bus to any destination, including express services to outlying hamlets. An admin route was also put in place, being an airport express service between

On January 22, 2022, a low-floor tri-axle CAIO Millennium II was added to the fleet, with a custom livery. These buses are a fictional specification based off a Transpiedade unit. January 30, 2022, also saw the launch of the Mascarello GranMetro articulated bus as a gamepass model; celebrated by a discounted pass before being released to the public.

On February 2, 2022, the Mascarello GranMetro BRT was added into the game, alongside the launch of two more BRT lines serving Kawaii Island Port and the Southwest Corridor, making a total of four routes serving most of Kawaii Island's urban area. All BRT stations were modified to accommodate three types of buses. In addition, the original BRT line was extended to Kawaii island International Airport to better serve commuters and the Kawaii Island Intercity Terminal stop was moved onto the main road.

Early February 2022 also saw the release of the Volare Access W9 low-floor minibus, which is useful for trips in the downtown area.

On February 22, 2022, the TransKBS contractor (based off Transpiedade) was added to the game, taking ownership of ex-TCI and Transpiedade vehicles while using their livery.

Late February 2022 saw another variant of the CAIO Apache VIP IV introduced; a SPTrans unit, based off a 2020 variant with air conditioning, frameless windows and rear destination display on the Mercedes-Benz OF-1724L chassis. This also added an admin bus, a Volkswagen 15-190 EOD with CAIO Apache VIP IV Midi bodywork. The original model was then moved to the TransKBS depot.

On March 12, 2022, a new executive class bus was added to the game, being the Mascarello Roma 310 on the Volkswagen 17-230 OD chassis. Like the Marcopolo Audace, this model will mainly be used for long-haul express services and the airport express route.

On March 27, 2022, Anime KBS was held, being based on the Discord community's love for Japanese anime characters. The event featured arcade games and a cosplay contest, alongside a free shuttle service with a specially wrapped bus. The event was the first expo to be held in game, which has also played host to other events and special runs.

April 2022 saw the revamp of the old intercity terminal as the new Hashiro Silva terminal, with separate zones for regional and local buses to pick up and drop off. This terminal will also be the new hub in game, allowing people to transfer between BRT, local and regional buses, with separate platforms for regional and local services. The updates also added the Marcopolo Gran Viale articulated bus to the map, which adds another free articulated bus to the stable.

On April 21, 2022, Uniao da Vitoria was removed from the map alongside the original intercity route, following a final run to the city before it was ceremonially destroyed.

May 2, 2022 saw the release of the CAIO Apache VIP I with TransKBS livery, adding a much needed expansion to the fleet.

In June 2022, another BRT system, based on Curitiba's was added with its own roadways and vehicles (which are yet to be released). This also came with the revamp of the Caminho Novo area, which added a park and a new terminal. With this, the original Caminho Novo terminal was renamed to Terra Nova, which was redesigned to accommodate the new BRT routes and conventional services.

On June 23, 2022, the Curitiba-based BRT system entered service, which operates on two routes between Terra Nova, downtown and Sentinel Park while a third express route is serviced with refitted conventional buses that have left side service doors.

Destinations
Conventional and TransKBS buses can travel on any route (except BRT services) and may interline as needed.

Major Terminals/ Points of Interest
Some buses do not have TACOM and a conductor's seat/turnstile installed. These buses permit all door boarding at terminals without paid areas. However, rear door boarding is normally used at terminals with paid areas (all door boarding is also possible). Buses recently added to the game have TACOM readers, although models hailing from outside of Brazil will not have a conductor's seat and turnstile.

Conventional (Urban Fleet)- aka Kawaii Bus/Kawaii Transportation
Comprising most of the buses in the main garage, these buses can be used on both local and regional services. These buses can also be used on airport services. These models do not have a standardized livery, which was designed to make each model easier to view although realistic liveries have started to appear on more recent models added to the game. While most buses have a conductor's seat and turnstile, some do not if the base vehicle was a Transpiedade/TCI bus or if the model was not updated since mid-2021.

Admin buses also fall under this category although they have special conditions (see the fleet section).

Transbus (BRT)
BRT buses operate on three routes between Kawaii Island International Airport, Kawaii Island Port and Alto do Ipiranga, running via downtown Kawaii Island. Kawaii Island's BRT line exclusively uses Neobus Mega BRTs and Mascarello GranMetros with high-level left side service doors, painted in a distinctive green livery without fleet numbers. The stations can be easily recognized as they are mostly located in the middle of divided roadways with green BRT branding.

The BRT garage also operates a Curitiba-based system, with bi-artics for route 203 & 205, grey articulated buses for route 23- INTER 2 and white conventional buses to operate a feeder route. The green buses, however, cannot operate on routes INTER 2, 203 & 205.

Regional (Grande KBS + Integrada)- retired
Intended for service on the route from Uniao da Vitoria and commuter services to smaller towns, buses assigned to regional service are painted in a special livery based on the regional integrated system serving Greater Florianopolis. Based out of the old garage, regional buses can also operate on urban services as necessary and are equipped with the same exposures. As of February 2022, all regional buses are Marcopolo Torinos.

In March 2022, all buses assigned to this operator were retired and are no longer available in game, while the garage has also been repurposed as the BRT garage.

TransKBS
Based on Transpiedade, this operator uses specially painted orange/grey vehicles. These vehicles do not have conductor seats, having one-person operation instead to increase seating capacity on local routes. This operator competes with the other two local service operators but its garage is an "eco garage", meaning that it has been designed with sustainability in mind. Their garage is also a full-service facility located just west of the Santa Emilly district in-game. All buses with this operator carry a 3-digit fleet number. As of March 27, 2022, the company currently has five models, being the Marcopolo Torino, 2017 Comil Svelto, CAIO Apache VIP IV, 2011 Mascarello GranVia (short wheelbase) and CAIO Apache VIP I.

Fleet
Most free buses and some gamepass buses have randomly generated numbers from 0001-9999 or if three digits, 001-999. Buses with five-digit fleet numbers can also have randomly generated numbers from 00001-99999. However, some buses will always spawn with the same fleet number (articulated buses) while some will stick to a specific range.

Buses available to the public are branded as "Bus Simulator" or "Kawaii Bus Simulator" to comply with Roblox requirements, which will also include branding changes to match this requirement. This may also include KBS stylized to match the original company's logo. However, in May 2021, some admin buses wore a lilac scheme with "Kawaii Transportes" branding while others would wear Kawaii Auto/Guilherme Turismo livery. Now, admin buses are models of real life vehicles. Most admin buses that are currently in service also feature a fully functional TACOM system with card reader and turnstile (or at least the latter), while TACOM readers and turnstiles with limited functionality will be installed on future public buses and retrofitted to most existing public models already available. For copyright purposes, all public buses with real life liveries have the decals changed to "Kawaii Bus Simulator" and/or Prefecture of Kawaii Island, with the oldest buses carrying "Bus Simulator".

Sometimes, admin test vehicles or demonstrators may appear in the game, which the former will carry either a white or grey livery with test signage. Most of these buses do not carry fleet numbers.

Fares
All trips cost R$4.40, however, smart cards in the game cannot be reloaded, no value is deducted and tapping the card on readers equipped with a turnstile will let you pass through. Older buses in the game are not equipped with turnstiles and smart card readers.

When boarding an admin bus and public buses equipped with card readers, you will be asked to pay the fare using the smart card in your tool inventory when boarding or exiting (if you sit in the priority seats or seats in front of the turnstile at the discretion of the driver), except at Terminal Fazenda, Terminal Santa Emilly, or the port which have paid areas. As of early 2022, some admin buses now use a beta version of a new card reader, which is incompatible with the current smart card and requires admins to give cards to passengers wanting to ride on these vehicles. To deal with such issues, admins may sometimes change the livery of regular vehicles.

BRT buses do not have an onboard reader but payment is expected when you enter the stations, which are all equipped with turnstiles and have paid areas.

All Time Fleet Roster
Below is a list of known admin buses from sightings. Buses from predecessor and other groups can also be put in service as needed.
