[I] Bus Company

The idea
Hey guys recently I've got a cool idea to make a new feature for LVP - a bus company. So, this would be something like a delivery minigame, only with the use of Coach and instead of cargo, you deliver players. There would be a bus station somewhere near the stadium for example. If you want to be a driver, you have to get in a bus located at the depot and type, for example, /startbus. It will activate the minigame. Now bus drivers need to wait for players to call a bus. Once the call is recieved, the first one who types /accept, gets the chance to deliver passanger to their location. If nobody between 15 seconds typed that command, player gets a message Sorry, but our drivers seem to be busy at this moment. Try again later. A player command would be /callbus x, where x could be like a location (just like in taxi). Now if someone called for a bus, an arrow will start flashing on players head with a yellow dot on the map (visible only for bus drivers) and the driver needs to drive and pick him up. Once someone picked him up, a destination will be told (marked as red dot on map and its a checkpoint) and you have to drive there. Once you dropped the passenger off you will have to return to the depot to collect your money.

Possible commands
  • 1. Players
- /callbus x calls the bus where x is the number and it means a location where are normal taxi doesnt take you (up to 10 locations could be).
- /locations alongside with locations for taxi it could also show bus locations.
- /declinebus Declines the bus call.
  • 2. Bus drivers
- /startbus When you're inside a bus, type it to start bus driver missions.
- /accept To accept when a call has been showed and drive to the location to pick the passenger up.
  • 3. LVP crew commands
- /setbusprice Sets the price per kilometer and the driver after dropping the passenger off collects the total money at depot.
- /buscompanyoff Disables the feature and locks all the buses.
- /buscompanyon Activates the feature if someone disabled it.
(Et cetera there could be more :+)

Please note that the commands don't have to be the ones I mentioned! They could be named differently.

What if...?
1. ...nobody is doing the job?
Player will get a message Sorry, there are no bus drivers at this moment.

2. ...someone shoots the bus and it will explode?
Then you will fail and the passenger will get a message The bus has been blown off and your call has been terminated. Please try again.

3. ...this idea sucks?
Then lock it, delete it, whatever, just don't post crap like "this sucks, gtfo".
