Someone has posted here some new bus stations in Klagenfurt, Romania, A Coruna with their coords, I checked them and they weren't accessible.
Today I checked the map and I find out that the road that leads to the bus station in Klagenfurt is now accessible!

I'll check the other cities if there is changes related to this DLC.

Exciting stuff!!

[Aziz]

I hope it, and the surrounding area, gets remodeled to represent the real thing.

[HayesPacific]

Yeah same, I think it's quite likely.
SCS did say they wanted to gradually go over the map and replace the more generic bus station prefabs with ones actually based on those cities' real bus stations.

[MostafaNIMI]

Well I've checked the same place in single player and it not accessible.
I think its only accessible in TruckersMP! IDK why

[Theago]

They added it to some locations in Germany as well, in the redesigned cities. I believe it's meant for those using the DBus World mod on TruckersMP, to give them more route options.
I don't think these changes are from SCS.

[Aziz]

Meh.

If you go into the editor, there are signs from a long time ago which lead you to the Estación Sur in Madrid.

So, for example, in Barcelona, Barcelona - Sants or Barcelona - Nord could be added, or in Zaragoza, Zaragoza - Delicias

There is an interesting situation with Irizar. They actually only build the body, but use different chassis: Scania, Volvo, MAN, DAF, and depending on the chassis they have different steering wheel and dashboard:

Body-builder companies will probably be the hardest for SCS to obtain the licenses since they will have to obtain the license from the bodybuilder for the body and from the chassis manufacturers for the engines, dashboard, logos...(also some bodybuilders use the same external fiberglass shell specially minibuses, so the design is probably from a 3er company that do the fiberglass).
I can see some chasis manufactures that have their own finished buses(Man, Mercedes, Scania, Volvo) not interested in giving SCS licenses to put their engines, logos... in other vehicles that are not made by them because they will probably want to promote their own bus models in game.

For example in the case of Irizar, it currently only list the Paccar MX engines on their webpage, so i can see SCS bringing only the ones with paccars chasis, and are probably the easiest ones to license since Paccar don't have their own finished bus bussines and Irizar uses their own logos without Paccar logos, so is probably the option with less conflict of interest.

I wonder if we will see Flixbus in the game?
First real company or maybe an opportunity for modders

I see potential for SCS to launch it as DLC including the paintjobs and interior trims(colours, seats...) of the company for the models they use IRL that will be in game, and the importan part i can see SCS including the real life routes with maybe even reallife timetables, since Flixbus operates in almost all the countries present in ETS2 from bus stops that are in game, they will probably include a lot of routes.

They also have other potential big companies that operate in EU, like Blablabus, National Express, Alsa...
