School Bus

Safe

The School Bus is a vehicle cut from Half-Life 2. It was apparently to be used by the Combine as the primary local Citizen transportation in City 17. It is based on the typical American yellow school bus, a reminiscence of the old, North American-like City 17 style.

Overview

 * Existing only as brush, it can be found in several WC mappack maps:


 * " ": in that map it crosses the Combine Factories and passes in front of the City 17 Trainstation. It appears is all red - probably a mistake made by the mapper.
 * " ": in that map the player rides it in a bus ride across City 17 (at some point another bus can be seen parked, with Citizens inside). In that map, it his higher and slightly longer.
 * " ": in that map, a damaged school bus with a taken out wheel and doors can be seen near two cars in the garage.
 * " ": in that map, it can be seen from the sewers between the Manhack Arcade and Kleiner's Lab.
 * " ": in that map and its variations, one is parked on a bridge, and another knocked over in a canal basin below.


 * During the game's development process, it was replaced by a tram. While no particular local Citizen transportation can be seen in the final game, tram tracks can be seen in the chapter "Follow Freeman!".


 * At the end of the Half-Life 2 chapter "Follow Freeman!" (in a map based on the E3 map *" "), tracks, a shelter and bus signs can be seen hinting that the canon City 17 featured trams and buses. This is the only instance in any game of the Half-Life 2 series.
