Bus Simulator 18: Setra Bus Pack 1

The Setra Bus Pack 1 DLC for Bus Simulator 18 was developed by stillalive studios and published by Astragon Entertainment. Released on July 22, 2020, this expansion introduced two officially licensed Setra overland buses to the game: the Setra S 412 UL and the Setra S 417 UL business. The S 412 UL is a compact 10.81-meter, two-axle bus with a 45-passenger capacity, ideal for narrow city streets and winding mountain roads. The larger S 417 UL business spans 13.38 meters, offering 59 seats, and is suited for longer intercity routes and regional travel. Both models were designed to complement the existing fleet in Seaside Valley, enhancing the game's variety and realism.

The DLC provided players with the opportunity to operate these new Setra buses, each featuring detailed interior and exterior designs that closely mirrored their real-world counterparts. The addition of these buses allowed for more diverse route planning, accommodating both urban and overland services. Players could utilize the S 412 UL for shorter, more maneuverable routes and the S 417 UL business for longer, high-capacity services, thereby expanding their virtual bus company's operations.

Promotion for the Setra Bus Pack 1 DLC was conducted through various digital distribution platforms, including Steam, the PlayStation Store, and the Microsoft Store. Astragon Entertainment and stillalive studios announced the release through press releases and social media channels, highlighting the addition of the new Setra models and their features. The DLC was made available as a digital download, allowing players to easily integrate the new buses into their existing game without the need for additional installations.

The detailed design and functionality of the Setra buses were well-received, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
