FAQ

Route S1 questions

Is Sunshine Islands Bus Simulator free?

Yes. The Roblox listing is free and says the experience runs on PC, mobile and console. The same page suggests a free private server when you want a quieter session.

Which route should a new driver take?

Start with a two-digit local such as 41A, 42, 46, 47 or 75. Those stay inside one zone. Leave three-digit bridge and tunnel routes, night services and Sunshard specials until the stop loop is reliable.

How do the route numbers work?

Two digits stay in one zone, and the first digit is usually that zone. Zone 1 is the exception: Dove Island services are numbered 2x, so 21 and 25 are not Zone 2. Three digits cross zones. A letter in front or behind changes the kind of service.

What are Sunshards for?

Sunshards are the Version 2 currency for special work such as sightseeing routes S1 and S2, special U47 departures and Sunshine Stadium extras. Ordinary progression, most routes and most buses are earned by driving.

Are there redeem codes?

No code string has been confirmed for this place, and the game page does not describe a code box. Public code roundups also report that there is nothing to redeem. Rewards come from finished shifts, daily tasks and daily challenges.

What unlocks at level 10?

Daily Challenges, Public Realism servers and Community Servers. Rare bus appearances also start through those challenges. A friend can still invite you into a Community Server from the Roblox homepage before you reach level 10.

Why did a finished shift pay nothing?

Skipping a scheduled stop removes the experience and Sunshard payout. Holding the parking brake while the bus is already rolling is treated as harsh braking. At the CSB Depot rooftop and the Forever Transit depot the door prompt only appears at about 3 to 4 metres, not the usual 7.
