When will the Hamburg City DLC for The Bus be released?


There is no fixed release date yet. However, we can say this much: it won’t be much longer! You can look forward to the launch very soon.


How much will the add-on cost?


Hamburg City is a paid expansion for The Bus. Since March 2023, a dedicated team of up to 15 people has been working on its development. The final price will be announced at a later date.


Will AI characters and vehicles be adjusted?


The core behavior of AI vehicles and pedestrians is based on The Bus's main game standards and can only be modified within limited technical constraints. Any adjustments will be made within the possibilities offered by the base game.


Can Hamburg City be played in multiplayer mode?


Yes! Since The Bus supports multiplayer, the Hamburg City map is also playable in multiplayer mode. All players must own the same DLCs to use them together.


Will there be AI-controlled bus traffic?


As long as the main game does not support AI bus routes, this feature cannot be implemented on the Hamburg City map either.
However, if The Bus introduces this feature in the future, we will provide an appropriate update. Timetables for AI routes are already prepared — and hubs like the central station are expected to feature busy AI traffic once activated.


Will a bus be included – and if so, which one?


Unlike in OMSI, maps and buses are separate in The Bus. This gives players the freedom to choose which bus they want to use on the Hamburg City map.
A specific Hochbahn bus from Hamburg will not be included.
Also, there is currently no vehicle editor available for buses in The Bus, so it's technically not possible to create a drivable Hochbahn bus at this time.
That said, we will include visual modifications for existing standard buses — such as liveries and seat textures. More details to follow.


Why develop a DLC while the main game is still in Early Access?


The main game The Bus is being developed solely by TML-Studios.
We are responsible for the Hamburg City map expansion, which adds a new city and additional routes to the game.
We have no influence on the development or feature set of the main game and cannot introduce core changes.
Important: Work on Hamburg City does not interfere with the development of The Bus — these are separate teams working independently.


Are the Hochbahn buses shown in the screenshots functional AI vehicles?


No. The Hochbahn buses currently visible in work-in-progress screenshots are static objects — placed at rest areas, for example — and serve to enhance the map's authenticity.
They are neither drivable nor AI-controlled.


Will Line 17 be extended to U-Bahn station Berne?


There are currently no plans to extend Line 17 by another 10 km to the Berne U-Bahn station.
The route would be very diverse — passing through post-war housing blocks, high-rise areas, 1970s architecture, century-old housing estates, parks, new developments, and countless intersections.
Implementing this extension would take over six months. For that reason, we decided to focus on the current route up to Barmbek station.


Will there be more bus lines added to the Hamburg DLC in the future?


At this time, no additional lines are planned for the Hamburg City map. However, this may change in the future — we’re always listening to community feedback!


Are typical Hamburg rail vehicles featured in the game?


Yes! The Hamburg City map offers a vibrant cityscape featuring many iconic rail vehicles.
In addition to DT5 Hamburg U-Bahn trains, you’ll also see S-Bahn, Metronom, regional, and long-distance trains as AI traffic — realistically placed along their real-life routes.
For example, at Rödingsmarkt station, U-Bahn trains cross above Line 17, while at Barmbek you’ll see S-Bahn trains, and the central station showcases all train types.


Will the Hamburg expansion be released for consoles?


Yes – the Hamburg City map is planned for consoles as well, once the main game becomes available on those platforms.
However, we cannot yet provide a specific release date.
