You change your server's operating plan in-game via the Admin Menu or by command in the in-game chat.

Change Operating Plan via the Admin Menu

  1. Open Admin Menu
    Open the pause menu in-game and select the Admin Menu. You need Owner or Admin permissions or the admin password, see Add Admin.

  2. Select operating plan
    Choose the desired operating plan from the available options in the Admin Menu.

Change Operating Plan by Command

Alternatively, you can set the operating plan in the in-game chat. You need Owner or Admin permissions for this. Enter the following command and replace <plan> with the desired operating plan:

/operatingPlan <plan>

Use Custom Operating Plans

Upload custom operating plans or operating plans from the Steam Workshop to the /TheBus/Mods/ folder like any other mod. You can find out exactly how this works in the Add Mods guide.
