How to Send Chat Messages on a The Bus Server

Send chat messages and private messages on a The Bus server

2 min read
Feb 24, 2026

You use the in-game chat of The Bus to write with the other players on your server. With commands, you can also send server messages to all players or private messages to individual players.

How to Send a Message to All Players

Enter one of the following commands in the in-game chat and replace <message> with your text:

/say <message>

or

/send <message>

Both commands send the message to the chat.

How to Send a Private Message

/whisper <player> <message>

Replace <player> with the player's name. Only this player receives the message. /list shows you the names of all players on the server.

Command Overview

Command Description
/say <message> Send a message to the chat
/send <message> Send a message to the chat
/whisper <player> <message> Send a private message to a player
/list Show all players

Use /commands to show all available commands.

Highlighting in the Chat

Since Update 3.2 (Early Access), admins and moderators are highlighted in the chat. This way, the players on your server can recognize messages from admins and moderators right away.
