Local Bus is Born!! Local bus was founded by Zoey & Mac a few hours after Croydon's release, later Zoey makes the first Livery for Local Bus.
In Local Buses early days there was 2 unknown investors that invested in Local Bus, we still don't know who they are. However their investing gave way to the Streetlite, Eclipse, Solo SR being bought, Later we had another Investor get us the ALX 400
After Local Bus got invested in it had a 2 month active period where it went through 2 Liveries, Theme 1(Orange & Blue) & Theme 2(Red & Blue). During this active period Local Bus grew quite a bit, gaining a following, making a route map and getting some drivers. Eventually the Founders and the drivers got bored of Croydon and Local Bus was dead for 2-3 Months after April.
After being dead for 2+ Months, we came back and instantly had drivers and popularity. Local Bus finally found an original and good looking livery called Theme 3, this one was based of PMT's livery if it was brought into todays world. We had our first long lasting driver join us, Chels, and many other drivers join and leave. However this got Local Bus to gain some popularity and become relevant. This was the time when Local became Partners with Reliance & Croydons Tour Buses. We also joined the first Croydon Bus Rally, which was super popular
In September of 2022 Local Bus hit some Drama which would later cause something worse in Local Groups case, the drama was little but had a big impact. Also in September Croydon got server crashing issues which prevented Dutycard shifts, which Local Bus was known for, and known for doing well. One good thing that came from this time period was the introduction of Local Coach, which was managed by Mac to allow for variety in the company.
In November of 2022 Mac & Zoey had a falling out, in this time Zoey took a month away from Croydon to do other stuff. In late December Zoey would go and manage Croydons Tour Buses, making CTB part of Local Group as Zoey is the Owner of Local Group at this time, it now both Zoey's and Mac's. However Linux, the Owner of NetGames, which owns Croydons Tour Buses, and Zoey then had a falling out as Zoey didn't like the direction Linux wanted the company to go.
After Zoey left Croydons Tour Buses, she went to Mac and both of them made up and brought Local Bus back to life, many people were happy about this development. As Local Bus missed an update, Zoey would have to spend weeks bringing Local Bus back up to speed. Just after Local Bus was bought up to speed it had its biggest investment ever! £50 was spent on Local Bus, by Zoey & Allie, this period of time was called the "Big Buy of 2023". The Streetdeck, E400EV & Cadet were bought, this was Local Buses biggest moment in all of its life.
Local Bus is currently still active, as of recently it just bought the Mellor Strata, and the Local Coach E400MMC got a refurb. In early may the fleet started going into a branding phase, branding the eclipse, strata & others. During this time Local Bus became partners with Brijan Travel, opening up many opportunities for the future.
When V1.3 came out, Local Bus was very prepared, with many credits in the bank for new buses and routes planned. Local Bus bought the Gemini 2 & Citaro, instantly, then later bought the Eclipse 2 as well as launching a huge PR Contract with 3 other operators. In June Local bus had a big boom in popularity and gained over 150K Credits, leaving them with 2 new buses, E40D and Scania E400
