You go to the location on Rand Avenue and a short cutscene takes control, showing you the layout of the area. Once in control, Johnny bursts into the area and eliminates all the cops within the area, stealing the prison transport bus. Alternatively, wait for the bus to start moving.

After the successful completion of the mission, Johnny expresses a joking fear for the people on the ship with the convict in a phone conversation with Stubbs.

Notes

  • "Off Route" is the one of the two missions where you can get the Prison Bus, one being the final mission, "Get Lost".
  • A Rhapsody with a unique light blue body color will spawn in front of the player in the beginning of the mission.
  • The Prison Bus is impervious to damage between the time the player reaches the police station until the player evades the police in the bus.
  • If the player drives the Prison Bus down Bridger Street to Panhandle Road, the player will encounter a large number of moving police cars spawning from both sides of Panhandle Road to stop the player. Similarly, the player will also stumble across a group of (non-hostile) Angels of Death bikers leaving the Booth Tunnel and traveling along Asahara Road on bikes if the player heads to the road southwards via Rand Avenue.
  • The cannibal serial killer's name is Curtis Stocker. The Liberty City Tree website mentions his name after the prison bus escape.
