The **Bus** is one of the vehicles available in Hill Climb Racing 2.

## Overview

Take your friends on a road trip! An ideal vehicle for long adventures, but has a habit of breaking down spectacularly.

The Bus is unlike any other ordinary bus. It has mediocre acceleration and an average top speed at 81.56km/h (50.68mph or 22.65m/s). The Bus has the largest fuel tank in the game, as it lasts a full minute (unless you use Thrusters or Afterburner.) Your character is heavily exposed at the front, so precaution should be taken when going head-on against a wall or the ground.

The Bus has a breakable front and rear bumper, along with breakable front and rear lights. It can lose its roof after a hard landing, which can leave the driver unprotected from slight hits on the ceiling of a cave area. The passengers on the back may jump out of the Bus after hard landings.

NOTE: The passengers are Hoodie, Bling, and Steve, three in which all are customizational Drivers & Outfits. You can break the necks on these 3 passengers and make them jump out. Bling is a boss that you will fight against on cups when progressing rank to a higher one, along with Mackie, Champ, Frank, and Nikita.

Eventually, after the roof is detached, multiple hits to the center of the Bus will cause the rear of the Bus to get loose to the point of being detached from the Bus itself, resulting in a single-wheeled car with poor stability and grip, but very effective Wings, and an incredibly high turning capability, able to stabilize or perform flips without much trouble. Unfortunately, Bus becomes a Monowheel 2.0, with a dead and unusable Wheelie Boost and Landing Boost, but the Air Control feature also becomes more effective. Combining it with the Thrusters and the Air Control Tuning Parts will make it highly overpowered for stunts on Moon Events.

The thrusters tuning part for this vehicle, believe it or not, is the most powerful of all vehicles, which happens to make Bus the best vehicle for using thrusters in the air. This is because Bus is very light, but can destroy objects and weigh down city containers better than a tiny vehicle like the Hill Climber. It has enormous fuel capacity, so Bus can handle Thrusters for longer than any vehicle (even the Chopper.) But also, combining it with Fume Boost makes the Bus a natural plane. This gets a lot of insanely fast records in Time Trials. You can detach the roof and remove the passengers to make all the parts, including Thrusters, super powerful to get longer jumps. But when the Bus splits in half, the Thrusters are really hard to control, as they make the vehicle flip. Using Air Control level 1 is recommended for using this tactic. The Bus is good in Long Jump and Target Events because of the awesome part.

You may notice that when the Bus splits in half, the Flip Boost, Overcharged Turbo, and Coin Boost all disappear, since they are all located on the back side of the vehicle. Many people believe that they stop working altogether. However, they are wrong, because the parts still work, as they give an even more powerful boost than before.

Be very careful with Bus in Patchwork Plant, as when the Bus is fully broken, the vehicle gets lifted crazily by magnets, making it uncontrollable and very likely to DRIVER DOWN. Bus is light, so be aware of this.

Fun Fact 1: Almost every part on Bus becomes the most powerful part out of all the parts in the game, when the Bus is broken. This includes: Wings, Air Control, Flip Boost, Fume Boost, Wheelie Boost, Afterburner, Thrusters, and Fuel Boost!

Fun Fact 2: Holding both the accelerator and brake pedal for 3 seconds, while Bus is stopped, and is on the ground, with the back part still attached, will cause the Bus suspension to lower a little while holding the pedals. Detaching the back while holding the pedals down will cause the suspension to be in a permanent bouncy form.

#### Nostalgic HCR2 Bus Moment

If you've went on YouTube, you may have noticed some videos that talk about and show a crazy Bus glitch that broke Time Trials in the game. Basically, whenever you pressed both sides of the screen and held, you activated Thrusters before the start of a race. This allowed you to detatch the roof and remove all the passengers, which made the vehicle lighter and faster. This setup, combined with Thrusters, Flip Boost and Fume Boost, allowed Bus to get awesome records in Time Trials. This glitch did not work in adventure.

Fun Fact 3: You could break the bus in half before the start of a race, which made the vehicle gard to control. If you ever used Start Boost, you'd go flying!

Fun Fact 4: Since the glitch appeared after the Moonlander/Thrusters Update, all vehicles that had Thrusters could do the same glitch! However, it worked the best on Bus.
