Bus

The school bus (plural ‘ school **buses**’) are one of the most durable vehicles in the Payback 2 game, as it can withstand several Rockets. Buses are extremely useful in Capture The Swag, as it provides you a lot of protection and allows you to ram enemies out of the way, and in Kill Objective Matches, like Brawl or Gang Warfare, to make a blockade and blow groups and groups of enemies up. Due to the fact, that AI Players are more than I and doesn't know how to walk around, accessing easy kills with Rockets, Grenades, or Bombs. Due to it being a heavy vehicle, it can be quite hard to maneuver and struggles to gain speed. It performs surprisingly well off-road, being able to reach 36 MPH+. Prior to the December 2016 update, it resembled a 2010 Blue Bird Vision. Afterwards, the appearance was changed to a 1998 Thomas International 3800.

* "*What the hell are you up to? Get back in the school bus!*”
* "*OK, now quit screwing around!*"
* "*You Fool! You let one of the prisoners die! I'm docking thirty grand off your pay packet for that!*"
* A certain task in "Remote Control" requires the player to destroy a yellow school bus driven by a weasel who thinks he owns the drug trade before the timer runs out.
