This guide will detail how to start this mission, the objectives involved, and the rewards you can earn by successfully completing it. It’s a chance to experience Vice City from a different perspective.
This activity is unlocked after a certain point in the main story, typically after you've established a more sificant presence in Vice City. To begin, you need to find a specific bus. The Vicefree Bus Line operates from a bus depot located in the Downtown district of Vice City. The depot is usually marked on your radar. You'll need to steal one of the buses from this location to start the mission. Once you're in control of the bus, your objective is to pick up passengers and transport them to their desated destinations across the city. The game will indicate where the next passenger is waiting on your radar.

- Locate the Bus Depot: Find the bus depot in Downtown Vice City.
- Acquire a Bus: Steal a bus from the depot.
- Start the Route: Drive to the first passenger pickup location.
- Pick Up Passengers: Collect passengers as they appear on your radar.
- Transport Passengers: Drive each passenger to their specified destination. The game will highlight the destination on your map.
- Complete the Route: Continue picking up and dropping off passengers until the route is complete.
Strategies for Success:
- Smooth Driving: Buses are large and cumbersome. Drive carefully to avoid collisions, which can damage the bus and potentially scare off passengers.
- Traffic Awareness: Vice City traffic can be unpredictable. Be mindful of other vehicles and pedestrians, especially when making turns or stopping.
- Time Management: While there isn't a strict time limit for each passenger, completing the route efficiently will yield better rewards. Try to find the quickest routes between stops.
- Avoid Police: Getting a wanted level while driving a bus can be problematic. Try to drive legally and avoid attracting police attention. If you do get a wanted level, consider finding a Pay 'n' Spray as soon as possible after dropping off a passenger.
