Kawaii Transportation Authority

Kawaii Transportation Authority (known as KTA and formerly DSV Transportation) is a North American transit group with Brazilian influences.

The group is still owned by TheKawaiidsv3012. Originally using leaked buses, it began using its own models in 2019 and 2020 to try and rebuild reputations. The group is currently inactive as of 2021 and is in the process of liquidating its assets.

DSV Transportation
DSV Transportation started in 2017 as a small group using free model maps and leaked model buses. It mainly operated on a leaked version of MITA's former Lahina Division (which had the BRT) and a modified version of TTA's Line 101 that only used buses. Most of the bus fleet had fill-in-displays as they required little scripting and only repaints to match DTA branding.

In 2017, DTA did attempt to run subway trains on its own Line 4 map which again used free models. The line failed and is no longer in use. That year, the company introduced built Van Hool A330s and NovaBUS LFSes built by ColeWorks, which were an attempt to use non-free models. These were numbered in various schemes and had generic liveries but they were able to bring more people in game. DTA also added three 2004 Orion Vs and a free model LFSA, which was modified to have on-board fare payment at the centre door. The company also added the Liaz 5262 and Volganin as expansion to cope with increased ridership. The company also hired PoizGamesAlternate as its backup developer so they could rely less on free models.

The group fell apart in late 2018 following sanctions from Fairview Transit and the main game being raided by that agency. At the same time, SIM Florianopolis began operations using ex-DTA vehicles.

Kawaii Transportation Authority
In late 2018, Thekawaiidsv3012 built his first bus, a particularly oversized model of a 15 m Marcopolo Viale BRT on the A-Chassis. He then converted many of his old, outdated buses which were not compatible with Filtering Enabled to work on a basic A-Chassis. These buses included the Liaz 5262 and the Volganin so they could have dynamic steering and work with the new policies. From then on, all new buses would be built with this chassis.

In early 2019, the Brazilian influence began to take shape, with the Marcopolo Viale BRT starting to be common in runs alongside the converted North American bus models. While new buses were not continuously built and converted units, such as the Liaz 5262 remained in service, the group rebranded to Kawaii Transportation Authority to recover from its troubled past. Throughout 2019 and early 2020, more Brazilian models, such as the CAIO Apache VIP and older model Marcopolo Viale entered service. The company also opened its Shinjuku Division to operate its Brazilian-themed buses alongside the Faith Division for North American buses; again made by hand. These Brazilian buses made the agency unique but contributed to the group's downfall. The group then introduced updated NovaBUS LFSes and a NovaBUS LFSA built by PoizGamesAlternate in a bid to keep people in the group.

Since DSV Transportation-branded buses also remained in use, KTA buses were either in a purple or pink livery to distinguish from DTA's blue livery.

In early 2020, KTA released its current livery used on most its buses, a grey base and a blue or pink stripe depending on the branding. This was also released on KTA's 2020 fleet, which consisted of 5 Van Hool A330s, 2 Orion VII NG HEVs and later on two 15 m Volvo B270Fs with CAIO Apache VIP IV bodywork.

In September 2020, the group attempted to reinstate BRT services using 15 m CAIO Apache VIPs on the Volvo B270F chassis, equipped with left side service doors for the high-level stations as the 22xx series on the Transmunicipal line, although this line was not run often. This led to KTA adding Mascarello GranVia 7 articulated buses to its Shinjuku fleet to allow for expanded capacity with the BRT there.

The group became inactive in late 2020 as TheKawaiidsv3012 focused on Transportes Coletivos Igaucu and development for his Brazilian bus models. Therefore, the Van Hool buses were sold to Evergreen Transit in January 2021, while any remaining North American models are to be sold there as well. However, KTA may get new buses, with one refurbished CAIO Apache VIP IV entering service within Kawaii Bus Simulator.
