Step-by-Step: Your First Trip as a Driver
- Spawn at Bulakan Terminal.
- Walk to your jeepney and press F to start the engine.
- Wait for passengers or move to a stop.
- Passengers will board—your Conductor (or auto-system) collects fares.
- Drive to the next stop following the route.
- At the terminal, collect earnings and refuel at the Gas Station.
- Repeat—aim for full loads every trip.
Understanding the HUD
The on-screen HUD shows your speedometer, fuel gauge, passenger count, cash earned, and gear indicator. Watch fuel so you don't run out mid-route; refuel at the Bulakan Gas Station between trips.
Hunger & Thirst System
Your character has hunger and thirst. Visit the Sari-Sari Store for consumables. Bloxy Cola (₱21) gives +9 Thirst. Managing these stats keeps you effective during long sessions. Stock up before long Malolos runs.
Beginner Tips
- Once you have the DF Devera, run the Malolos route for best earnings.
- Full loads dramatically increase earnings—wait at terminals if needed.
- Refuel before each trip to avoid breakdowns mid-route.
- Use Shift + E carefully when starting uphill.
- Listen for passenger calls near terminals.
