Description

A beginner ESX bus driver job: the player follows a fixed numbered route through ordered marked stops on a timetable, boards an NPC passenger at each stop, and earns a server-validated per-stop fare plus a bonus for completing the loop. It sells because it is the low-skill fixed-route filler income that onboards new players — clearly distinct from on-demand taxi fare metering.

Known Failure Modes & Corrective Prompt

  • Client-side index/pay — the server validates the claimed stop index and owns the advance, so stops can't be skipped.
  • Anim before dict load — wait on HasAnimDictLoaded.
  • Leaked passenger peds — delete the NPC after boarding.

Corrective re-prompt: "Players can claim stops without driving. Move the route index onto the server: validate that the index the client sends is the expected next stop and in range before paying, then return the new index to the client instead of letting the client advance it."

Framework Integration

  • ESX: uses ESX.GetPlayerFromId and xPlayer.addMoney exactly as written.
  • QBCore: swap to QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer, guard PlayerData.job.name, and Player.Functions.AddMoney("cash", pay).
  • QBox: resolve with exports.qbx_core:GetPlayer(source); the money and job calls are QB-compatible.

Profit Potential

$100–$1400/mo on Tebex (expected ~$350). [INFERRED] priced inside the $50-389 script band against the signal-scraper tebex_snapshot corpus (n=100, median seller $11.85K/mo), scaled to a stable starter-job niche.

Trend Signal

→ stable — inferred: Low-skill starter job; steady filler-income demand for onboarding new players, distinct from on-demand taxi fare metering.

Sales Angle

Sell it as the fixed-route onboarding income — a predictable timetable job for new players, complementing rather than overlapping an on-demand taxi script. Recommended Tebex price $59.
