Drive Berlin routes with your crew: unlimited slots, DDoS protection, setup in 60 seconds and locations worldwide.
American ExpressAbout the server
The Bus by TML Studios puts you behind the wheel of detailed city buses on real Berlin routes: you drive your line, serve the stops, sell tickets and deal with city traffic like a real driver. In multiplayer, your whole crew runs a bus company together, and that needs one server every player connects to. A The Bus server from ZAP-Hosting is that dedicated multiplayer server, with unlimited player slots and 9 RAM/CPU packages to choose from.
With your own server, your Berlin network stays online even when nobody's home PC is running, so drivers can join for an evening shift whenever they like. You change settings and files in the web interface or over FTP, watch the server live in the console and set up recurring server messages for your crew. The free dedicated-server tool works at home too, but only while that PC stays on.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Priced by package, not slots
Your The Bus server is priced by performance, not by players. You pick one of our RAM/CPU packages, and every package includes unlimited player slots. Packages currently start at €5.99 per month. The shop always shows the live price for each package and term before you order.
Online within 60 seconds
Pick a package, choose a location and a term, then check out. Automated setup installs the The Bus dedicated server for you, and it is usually online within 60 seconds. Your panel then shows the IP, the port and all settings. Explore your panel
Unlimited slots
ZAP-Hosting does not limit player slots on The Bus servers. The number of drivers is only limited by the game itself and by your package's performance. Larger crews driving busy routes together run more smoothly on a package with more RAM and CPU.
Scale as your crew grows
Start with the package that fits your group today. A few friends driving together need less RAM and CPU. Larger groups, several busy lines at once or long sessions benefit from more RAM and CPU. Keep an eye on the load in your panel statistics, and add resources if your crew grows.
Multiplayer menu → Alt → IP and port
Start The Bus, open the Multiplayer menu and press Alt to add a new server. Enter the IP address and port from your panel, save the entry and join. Every driver needs their own copy of The Bus on Steam and connects the same way. Step-by-step connection guide
Self-hosting needs your PC running all the time
You can run the free The Bus dedicated-server tool from Steam on your own PC. Your server is then only reachable while that PC is on, and it shares your home hardware and bandwidth. A rented server keeps your bus company online around the clock, so your crew can join without waiting for the host.
Locations worldwide
When you order, you choose from locations worldwide. Pick the one closest to your drivers for the most responsive sessions. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, and other regions are available as well. Availability can vary by product and location, so the shop always shows the current options.
Flexible terms
Choose a term of 3, 30, 90 or 180 days or one year. Longer terms lower the monthly price. You can cancel anytime; cancellation takes effect at the end of the term. With ZapX Pass you can also get Lifetime: buy once and keep your The Bus server as long as your Pass is active.
