Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop: Achievement Guide

In this guide I will try to describe the achievements and how to get them.

Introduction

The guide was decided to be written due to the lack of others. Achievements in the game are quite simple and do not depend on the difficulty level, but some of them take a long time.
I did not complete the DLC missions during my playthrough as they are not required for achievements.

Some Tips

I would like to give some tips that can help complete the story faster:
1. It’s better to drive at night (from 00:00 to 04:00 - set 23:59 and wait 1 minute), since there are no other buses interfering at the bus stop.
2. If you need to drive quickly, use the smallest bus without a ramp. I used MAN Lion's City M (A47) or Grande West Vicinity Bus 30ft. Diesel.
3. If you need to pump stops or transfer a lot of passengers, then use the largest bus. I used Mercedes-Benz Capacity L.
4. If you need to upgrade a district, then first make a circular route only through the bus stops of the district, upgrade it, and then connect it to other districts of the task.
5. Upgrading a district does not require upgrading all bus stops. The district level is calculated as the average between the levels of all stops. The last task requires upgrading all bus stops to level 5.
6. Disable all random events (a request to stop, a passenger listening to music loudly, etc.), except those for which achievements are given (after you get the achievement, you can turn them off). This way the story will be more comfortable.
7. To get all the achievements faster, start a new game in Angel Shores on the "Day Tripper" difficulty level with the story and tutorial.

The cheapest bus costs €100,000 (for example, MAN Lion's City M (A47)). You will have to spend €1,000,000 on them. After buying, you can immediately sell and get your money back.

Gotta Catch 'Em All!
Buy all buses from the base game
The last buses (Grande West Vicinity Bus 35ft. CNG and Scania Citywide 14.8m) are unlocked after the mission "Upgrade Pecunia district to level 4". I bought 40 buses and spent about € 14,500,000 (some of these buses were from DLC, so you will spend less money).

A very strange collectible item: it is not physically present, it does not count towards the general list of items. You just need to run around the church until the achievement appears.

All the best :)
