· In cities like Madrid, new roads leading to bus stops were even constructed.
· SCS stated in interviews with designers that they strived to make the bus stops as realistic as possible; while some use pre-made templates, many stops were modeled after real locations.

5. ❓ Will the bus DLC be included in the 1.59 update? Clues so far
· The addition of a new La Coruna bus stop isn’t direct proof that the bus DLC will be part of the 1.59 update.
· While the official SCS screenshots show a faint bus stop icon on the GPS, the current 1.59 beta doesn’t display that icon on the map.
· This could mean it’s still in development or will be activated when the paid DLC launches.
· So far, you can see bus stops added in Madrid, Algeciras, Malaga, Barcelona, and other cities through 1.58 and earlier updates, as well as upgraded stops in the Benelux and Nordic DLC regions.
· When all bus stops are eventually added, a dedicated detailed video will be produced.
