Content Update 5: Virtual depots, automations, staff scheduling

Highlights

• External Depots: Build up to 15 virtual depots on your map, each able to hold up to 100 additional buses

• Automations: With the new research, your staff can check the buses on their own and wash, refuel or clean them if necessary

• Staff scheduling: Determine when which group of employees should come to work from home and how many employees should be present on the premises outside core working hours

• Parking space allocation: Buses can now be permanently assigned to a parking space

• Service centre opening hours: Service centre opening hours can now be adjusted

• New app research that reduces the number of visitors to the Service centre

• Maximum shift duration can now be increased to up to 16 hours in the shift planner settings, which can prevent buses from returning to the depot at midday

• Complete overhaul of the bus UI with new functions in the bus overview and in the marketplace: display of the number of buses per category, filter by bus type and broken buses
