    Hello to all in the community:
    For a possible future update, i think we should have something like a trailer bus. You know what i mean; a trailer for picking up/dropping off passengers pulled by a semi-truck, like those from the truck simulator games.

    Some examples:

    They can also be pulled by regular buses instead of semi-trailers, such as in this case:

    So what do you guys think? great idea?
    I don't own any of the pictures (obviously) and the copyrights can be seen at the lower right of the screen because Wikimedia.

    My attention somehow was on that bumper of Havana semi, that thing is designed to be pulled trough mud :)

    Anyway, making such trailer might not be too big of task, one could use existing bus and build from there, maybe cutting bit of front off and replacing with part that goes over fifth wheel and just removing engine?

    Or maybe just add gooseneck for real poor man's version?

    I think it should somehow capture creativity of 3rd world as how they can make something that works with limited resources and not so much effort on aesthetics because of limited funds.

    I know, right? too bad i have little modelling skills through. I speciallise in Sketchup, and i think that thing needs blender. And with all the holiday homework that i get, i think i would rather focus on making my map. But if anyone wants to build a trailer bus, i would love to come and see it in the future!
