Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

Hello. I don't usually use it with invisible loads that simulate passengers because they can sometimes cause physics issues and result in strange behavior. However, most maps that include bus terminals (there are several that I can't mention because they are paid mods and the forum rules don't allow it) use a passenger system that is the same as, or similar to, the one made by Christian Cardoso, which you can find on the Steam Workshop as "Passenger mod."
