Speed at which bus goes, thoughts?

[ImpetuousPanda]

Hello guys,

I've been testing stuff with the Bus Driver and the bus lately. I have a few thoughts I need feedback on.

1. Does anyone know why the Bus Driver sometimes decided to not stop at some of the stops?

I played solo once using the bus to activate all the teleports without power being on. Obviously I had to use the bus as transport from light to light. I was knifing him a lot for him to start up faster(you can knife and step back so he can never kick you off) and at a point in time, sparks started flying off of him, off his back, his arms, and the front. This can be easily done by staying on the bus and pissing him off a lot. it might just be there for aesthetic purposes, but who knows.

2. He does indeed drive faster at some points in time.

I went in with two players last night and he was driving considerably faster at many different places, we were simply knifing him non-stop for 2 or 3 rides around the Green Run map. He tried kicking us off a total of 8 or 9 times and sparks flew out of him at several times. He skipped many stops and drove considerably faster a few times.

Thoughts? Any importance here?

EDIT: I did not test anything with turbines or the jet gun. Can you place turbines inside the bus(I think you can't). It might do something as well. The only variable I tested was knifing.

1:He doesn't stop because Knifing him a few times and making him angry at you will make him say "Now i'm not stopping" or something along those lines and then he simply will pass up a place.

2: I've never felt him drive faster. But i don't knife him allot so...

Also i'm pretty sure those are just aesthetic purposes with the sparks and such :|

and I've placed Turbines inside the bus a few times and nothing really happened.

Don't know about the jet gun though. I'm sure someone has tried it though so someone else can most likely tell you.

Nope it's just normal. When you piss him off and he manages to kick you out of the bus he closes the doors, drives faster as usual and skips a lot of bus stops so it's harder for you to get into the bus again. But most of the time he pushes me against the window and i am still in the bus 3arc should overwork this

You can definitely put turbines down in the bus, it's how you start him back up when some noob throws an EMP in the bus.
