Ok, Devs and Rednames... I've got a serious gripe!
Agreed. To protest this, I think we should all either ragequit or stage sit-ins at all the bus stops. BUSSES FOR ALL!

Wait, you can't see the buses?
How sad.
In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo.
Are there even cabs? I'll admit I haven't looked for them specificly, but just off-hand I don't remember seeing those either.
There's something fishy going on here...
<_<
>_>
It's almost as if the PTA tram service has done away with most of their competition.

That chick what plays the bird-things...
DEATH TO MONOPOLIES! Make the trams destructible objects please. Can't seem to target them.
Be well, people of CoH.
1. long ago the taxi's were all automated and moved to Eastgate
2. the bus maintenance yard was in Venice
Be really nice to be able to use the bus as well. Like, If I am North Steel and the mission is South Steel. Wait at the Bus stop, get on, be sent to South Steel Bus Stop. I think capes deserve the chance to ride on public transportation. Lets stage an Atlas Park protest at all Bus Stations!

Where the hell are all the busses? It's been just about 8 years and the streets of Paragon and Praetoria are littered with bus stops and there isn't one single bus! I never see the citizens waiting for busses? Why is that?
Because, after 8 years THEY KNOW IT'S POINTLESS to stand around and wait for something that is never coming! Why are the Hellions always mugging people in Atlas? Because they need the money for a cab! >: ( |
The bus stands, however, were built by the city under contract with the bus companies and to keep from defaulting on that contract, the city is required to keep rebuilding them, at great tax payer expense, when one is destroyed in a super powered squabble even though a bus will never show up.
Maybe there could also be a new contact by one of the bus terminals. He'd be a PTA bus driver in uniform and he gives out a story arc that's related to keeping the bus service from falling into the hands of... oh, I don't know, some kind of Nemesis plot.
Maybe Paragon City isn't really in Rhode Island; it's in Western Pennsylvania, about 8 months in the future.
I'd like to see buses added. It would be pointless but entertaining if you could click on a bus and be delivered to any other neighborhood in the same zone. Just like the train, but only within the zone. Also, you might have to wait several minutes for a bus to show up. The movements could be synchronized (an insanely complex task I bet) so that the buses reach all bus stops at the same time, so you could get on one and off another at the same time without needing people or buses to just appear out of thin air at their destination.
Bonus points if you can ride on top of the bus. I'm having trouble seeing how that could be exploited for massive xp gain.
Also, as much as I'd to see buses in the game, if the devs want to give us busses instead, that could be fun too!

Only if we could hop on one and ride it to the mission door (or close) at the -other- end of the zone.

Not only are there no buses, but there are only about 11 cars in the whole city, all of them dating to the 1970s.

There have been bus stops in my hometown my entire life.
It's only in the last five years or so that an actual bus system came to town. The stops were apparently part of a long-since-failed attempt at public transit that was no longer in operation.
Maybe the bus system was shut down when the trains were installed?
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
Part of the problem is that the trams are free. You can see that the bus system failed because why would anyone pay for a bus ride, when they can ride the tram for free?
To compound the problem, some government agency somewhere is still paying people to maintain the bus stops, even though no one uses them.

They used to have them, but heroes tend to classify buses and Buicks as "melee weapons."

All the buses are full from minor characters being put on them.
Open Archetype Suggestion thread!, Kirsten's Epic Weapon Pools, Feudal Japan, Etc., Alignment specific Rularuu iTrials!
If Masterminds didn't suck, they'd be the most powerful AT in the game.
wat...
I guess it's true. I haven't seen a bus since launch either, but I can't say I've missed them. /sign would depend on WHO has to make the bus. There are much better things for the good Dink to be doing!
The buses are there, you just missed them though.
you could have it all
