The OMSI Bus Roadeo is BACK in 2023!

What is the OMSI Bus Roadeo?

Well like a real life bus roadeo, the OMSI Bus Roadeo is a competition to see who is the best of the best drivers. How are we doing this? By doing the most basic thing of all time and watch all drivers on their runs. The winner will get a $20 Amazon gift card so you may want to try.

But What is the course?

The course, is simply put, the Grundorf map’s route 76. Why Grundorf? Because it’s a map that everyone has, and everyone is able to run this particular map. You must spawn in at the Krankenhaus spawn point, and operate to the Bauernhof stop. The timer starts the second you open your doors for the Krankenhaus stop, and stops when you open your doors for Bauernhof.

If you’re confused about the directions, then use this video for reference, as this run is the exact route of the Roadeo.

How do I submit runs?

To submit a run, you can share your video of you driving in our discord server. You can use OBS, a free streaming software, to record the video, then either upload it to YouTube and share a link, or (for the lucky Nitro users) post it directly in the server.

How long do we have?

Well since the Roadeo event is the 23rd, the latest a run can be submitted, would be September 18th, as I still need to review all of them.

You mentioned a prize. Is that legit?

YES! The winner will get a $20 Amazon Gift Card.

Head on over to the Virtual Transit Center discord server now and submit your runs! Hope to see you soon!

About the author: Dash

I have been with Virtual Transit Center since it's conception as the "Dash Forums" back in 2008. Since then, I have been writing and doing YouTube side by side, focusing both on Transportation and Gaming. Most of my knowledge comes from SEPTA as I lived in Philadelphia for most of my life. As of 2021, I am on YouTube as DashTransit, Dash5155, and TheDashOfficial.

As for the name DashTransit itself, it actually stems from my YouTube channel.

DashTransit was originally called "njt5329" and the channel was just clips of buses. Mostly SEPTA and NJT. A Fujifilm Finepix was used in this era.

Starting in July 2011, the Canon SX130IS camera became the camera of the channel, bringing HD documentary-style videos much like my buddy (trainman1971) did for DVD for many years past. This is when the channel became known as "Transit Action Series"

In May 2012, the original Canon SX130IS retired, and then all videos were recorded off a mobile phone until eventually uploaded proved too difficult due to hardships IRL

Starting in 2017, I used a Canon SX200IS from Bastranz to reboot the channel that otherwise was dead for a whole year prior.

Between April 19th, 2019, and January 21st, 2021, all videos were recorded by a Canon SX710 HS camera. The channel was renamed DashTransit 4/19/19.
