What this mod does
Dons AI Bus Traffic by donshontz fills American Truck Simulator’s roads with 30 buses from real US bus lines. According to the author, the liveries are based on bus companies that actually exist, some from states not yet on the ATS map, so traffic gains variety and realism on long hauls.
What’s included
- 30 AI traffic buses with US bus-line liveries.
- A 499 MB file, free on Steam Workshop.
- Made with Mod Studio 2 and Paint.net; the author says he used ChatGPT to tune values.
Version and load order
Published October 28, 2026. The author does not state a specific version: he says it works with any ATS version as long as SCS does not change its AI. If you do not see the buses, the author recommends moving the mod higher in the list, above other traffic mods. The buses only appear in traffic: they cannot be driven.
Good to know
In two weeks it has passed 900 subscribers and 31 ratings. The same author publishes themed bus packs; Holymod lists this one because it uses real transport companies, not franchises. The bus-line brands belong to their owners: the mod is unofficial.
