Controls[edit ]

In-game text[edit ]

  • Rules – "Polish the roof of the bus completely. The team that clears its bus first wins!"

The reflections of the buses in Bus Buffer
The reflections in question
  • The reflection of the buses in the puddles on the ground uses a different model from the one seen in-game, probably remnants of an earlier design of the buses.[1]
