Events
Events are a main staple in Bus Simulator, happening every 5 minutes, indicated by a flashing red warning to every players' screen.

These events range from the most mundane like watching at the mountains, to being sent into an entirely different dimension, or unluckily being in the blast zone of a nuke!
Most of these contain lots of items, both good and bad, you may even encounter new people, the journey may be never-ending, but it never gets mundane.

Events aren't also entirely random, as depending on what the players' quests they currently have, they will greatly increase the chance of a specific event related to them occuring. Events also won't re-occur in a row unless forced.

All of the icons shown are in sync with Rider's event icons, all being made by FangedWerewolf (@noobbiom) with a contribution added on top of it here and there! In-game screenshots will be presented as well within each event's individual pages or on display if a Rider event icon isn't available, as well as older iterations / representations by NotFunnyClown (@orfriday36) for events that were unable to be photographed prior to Rider's existence.

Note: If you are to force these events in a VIP server via the !event command, the event names are Case Sensitive. (i.e. Bloxdonalds won't be forced if you spell it with all UPPERCASE or lowercase.)
