Prison Workers Bus

[frannilea]

It seems that my buses aren't picking up prisoners. Yes, I know that they have to be ready for work and that is an 8 hour span, yes I know that they only work in particular buildings - I'm trying to get mine to work in a coal mine, which I assume is an acceptable workplace. But even though I have workers that are CLEARLY in work time at the prison when my bus arrives, it STILL doesn't pick them up. My prison has only a few people, but even so, if there is a prison who is actually within that 'work mode' time, shouldn't the bus be picking them up?

Here is my screen shot:

The prison is on the right of the screen, and you can see the lights of the bus exiting the prison. At the bottom of the screen I have two prisoners who are clearly within their work time. One became ready just after the bus entered the building, so perhaps he just missed the bus. But the other is clearly almost halfway through his work time, so should definitely have been on the bus. But the bus, once again, left empty. I've been watching. This is happening every time, regardless of whether there are prisoners ready for work or not! The bus enters the building and I clearly have workers who are within their work time, but don't enter the bus. My bus settings are of the left. I tried just loading workers at the prison only and unloading at the mine only, but that didn't work either, so I just tried allowing everything. What the heck??

A prison bus normally is only capable of transporting prisoners.
I don't understand why other people are shown there in the list, like students etc.
Could it be a mod vehicle which is broken?
And what does the busstop have to do with it?
Prisoners won't use any busstops whatsoever.
The two prisoners shown at the picture. They are clearly working. Where do they work?

Edit: Not sure about my last question. Anyway: Do they show up waiting to be picked up?

Is this bus from the prison bus category? Not just a passenger bus? I don't remember if it is visible as a separate "cargo type", but your "how many passengers in this vehicle" looks like a regular bus.

Im suspecting you renamed a regular bus 'prison bus' make sure to use a prison bus model for this task.

Its one case and also game "bug". We don't see in vehicle property card name: Vehicle model / manufactuer.

I recall using a prison bus from a mod and having the same issue. Try it with a bus from the category "prison bus". I believe you have to buy it in the prison or at the border.

You can also buy it in any depot if it's connected to the road network.

Damn Daniel, I never noticed the category in the road depot. Sorry for any confusion.

That's exactly what I did. I just assumed a bus is a bus is a bus. I certainly wasn't expecting a different category entirely.
