Ever since the GTA 6 trailer was released, fans have been scrutinizing every second of the video in search of the slightest hidden details. One of the latest discoveries fueling speculation concerns a poster in the background in the twenty-seventh second, hinting at a possible new feature in GTA 6.
The latest discovery in the trailer suggests a potential revolution in the field of virtual transportation: the introduction of public buses. If previous GTA games have always had integrated modes of public transport like subways and taxis, GTA 6 may go further by including city buses. A scene at the 27th second of the trailer shows a bus stop surrounded by waiting people, suggesting a possible interaction with this mode of transport.
One player pointed out the level of detail of the bus stop sign, saying “The bus stop sign is too detailed for something we can’t use. Large and visible with words that feel really legible.
The discovery sparked mixed reactions in the gaming community. Some believe that adding buses to the game could make the experience very realistic, turning GTA into a real-life simulation. Others welcomed the idea, suggesting that a bus system for fast travel could be a welcome addition, similar to the trains in Red Dead Redemption 2.
One player expressed his excitement, saying: “It’s going to be really cool and really cool details. Maybe they can make it like a taxi, where you can also get on a bus and pick people up and drop them off at places.”
The history of transportation in the GTA series dates back to 2001’s GTA 3, which introduced taxis as a means of rapid travel. This feature has been retained in most subsequent titles. GTA 4 also features trains and public transportation from the early games in the series, with the Liberty City subway system providing a quick option for getting around.
So the potential addition of a bus system in GTA 6 would not be unprecedented, part of a continued desire to bring realistic and immersive elements to the game universe. Furthermore, the choice of bus as a mode of transport can be seen as logical. The decision, given its widespread use in the United States, thus offers an extra dose of immersion in the game. With a dense bus network in Miami, this innovation can add real dimension and charm to the gaming experience. It remains to be seen if this fan quest will be realized in the final game.
