The most I'm willing to do is make the checkpoints disappear if you get relatively close to them, I'm not going to completely remove it. If I wanted to remove the checkpoints I wouldn't have reworked the job to begin with.

If making them disappear while approaching is agreeable to you, I'm willing to do that.
If that's the only choice then I agree. But I don't think it will change much of the situation. Let's see if other players have a say.

Understandable Danzy, that's also better than nothing  0:) However since you're the guy who spent time on this, it should be up to you.

my vote negative, will be more complicated for new players, I don't see checkpoints like a race. contrary the checkpoint system make you easy to know where you will go.

I believe what he means is that if you miss a checkpoint you can't claim the next stop till you claim all the checks.

Yeah, just widening the radius of the green checkpoints (midway) a little would be awesome, we already have to slow down at the stations anyways.

This would be a better option for us instead of removing all the markers.

Removing checkpoints completely is pretty much infeasible due to the way the job works with routes.

I'm going to make the checkpoints disappear once you are approaching them kind of like the station ding before a bus stop. However checkpoints will disappear based on how fast you are going, the faster you are the further away from you the checkpoint will disappear. And in reverse, the slower you go, the closer you need to be to the checkpoint to make it disappear, however the main difference is that you won't actually have to hit the checkpoint itself, you can go wherever you please as long as you actually approach the checkpoint.

WIP.

As already mentioned, the best thing would be to add an option to disable them, because then this would make it very difficult for new people to work as a bus driver.

I play Bus Driver every now and then and the checkpoints problem is a real one many times I missed a checkpoint by mistake and it was annoying

I agree with what you suggested Danzy and it keeps the checkpoints to help new players find the stops +1

- Made bus driver job easier by allowing you to drive close to checkpoints without having to hit them. (Danzy + MilkyWay)
