===GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars===
===GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars===
In GTA IV, the [[Brute]] Bus resembles an [[wp:Orion International#Orion V|Orion V CNG]] (with an evenly angled windshield). Its slanted side windows resemble those of the old [[wikipedia:GM New Look (Fishbowl) Bus|GM New Look Bus]] or the [[wikipedia:Flxible New Look bus|Flxible New Look bus]], although they are more modern in style. Strangely, the Bus only allows 4 passengers (in addition to the driver) to travel in the vehicle although, as there is no occasion for this in GTA IV's story, it is only possible during [[Multiplayer in GTA IV|multiplayer]]. The buses, which fall under the management of [[Liberty City Transport Authority]] (LTA), are further stamped with "The Fox" labels, in line with the LTA's association of the [[Skycar|Liberty City's tramway]] with another animal ("The Pigeon").

When entering the Bus, walking and seating animations are actually shown, unlike in previous games, since the windows are now transparent. Strangely, the Bus only allows four passengers (in addition to the driver) to travel in the vehicle. The buses, which fall under the management of [[Liberty City Transport Authority]] (LTA), are further stamped with "The Fox" labels, in line with the LTA's association of the [[Skycar|Liberty City's tramway]] with another animal ("The Pigeon").


The Bus remains a rare sight in the city. Despite the presence of several bus stops around the city, the Bus is commonly seen only on the roads near [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]], and parked in [[Star Junction]]. The Bus will sometimes appear during GTA IV's mission chase sequences as part of set pieces, acting as an obstacle to increase the difficulty of the mission (see, for example, [[Brucie Kibbutz|Brucie]]'s mission [[Search and Delete]]).

The Bus finds its own perfect purpose during [[Race#GTA Race|GTA Races]] set in [[Star Junction]]. The Bus can easily block off a path while a novice picks off cars, driver by driver, resulting in everyone switching to [[Faggio]]s, which provide no cover whatsoever for the rider and cannot move buses at all, but are nimble enough to move around buses.

* A label on the rear of the Bus in GTA IV comically reads that "this bus uses no technology", parodying labels on New York City buses that read "this bus uses clean-air technology".

* The Bus is driven around [[Broker]], on Delaware Ave, in the mission [[Bleed Out]], making it harder to catch [[Dardan Petrela]].
* There is actually a "Bus Driver" character model and in the GTA IV game files. This suggests that buses were going to be used as a way of transportation around the city, but that this feature was later cut from the final game for unknown reasons.

* As with several other vehicles capable of laying sideways, if one flips the bus onto its left hand side and begins to reverse whilst turning slightly to the left the bus will begin to rotate at very high speeds. If one points the left stick towards the bottom and still to the left the bus will rotate in the opposite direction. Another vehicle that is capable of this would be the [[Mule]].

* In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the passengers are actually shown walking and taking a seat inside the bus, since the windows aren't tinted or opaque.
* There is always a bus available in [[Star Junction]] and if you steal the bus, you will be wanted by the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|police]].
* Although there are two doors on the bus, one for alighting and exiting the bus, only one door (the door at the front parallel to the driver) is used.

* Only one person can exit or board the bus at one time, making escaping the police with more than one person accompanying the protagonist more difficult.

* It is not possible to bail out of a moving bus as the driver in GTA IV, as hitting the exit vehicle button will apply the brakes first.

*If more than one person enters the bus as a passenger strangely one of the back doors will open.
*Unlike Buses in previous GTA games, in GTA IV the bus can be resprayed at a [[Pay 'n' Spray]], although only the one in [[Leftwood]] can fit the Bus.
*Unlike other buses in previous GTA games, on GTA IV, the bus can be re-sprayed only at the [[Pay 'n' Spray]] in [[leftwood]] (other Pay 'n' spray garages are too small for bus).

*Can occasionally be seen driving along the unnamed ring road at [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]] in [[Dukes]], and can often be seen driving around the Airport complex, just south of the Runways. This is the only place where the buses are seen driving instead of parked (with the exception of triggered buses in missions).
