As many of you may have seen, SCS Software have announced and been working on Project Coaches: an addition to Euro Truck Simulator 2 that introduces bus and passenger transport into the game.
The DLC is here, and we haven’t been able to test it too much. However, we’ve prepared our updates so far and we can share what we are doing to prepare.
One key part of this preparation is the creation of bus stations and passenger terminals across the map. Today, we’d like to give you a first look at a few locations that will play a role in the future of passenger transport in ProMods.
It is worth mentioning now, that this could create a larger delay in the release of the next ProMods version whilst we allocate resources to testing the features and making sure this works with ProMods.. but who’s to say we cant be a tease?
Purchase Euro Truck Simulator 2 – Coaches
Paris: Bercy Seine
Our first location takes us to Paris, where we have recently released an updated in which we recreated the Bercy Seine bus station.
Situated near the banks of the Seine, this well-known terminal is a major hub for long-distance coach services throughout France and Europe.
In ProMods, the area has been designed to accommodate coach operations while fitting naturally within the surrounding city layout. With detailed parking areas, access roads, and recognizable surroundings, Bercy Seine will serve as an important stop for future passenger routes.
Turkey: Hopa & Istanbul
Next, we travel to Hopa, a coastal town in northeastern Turkey. Recently released in a Major ProMods Update, we have the Eastern end of Turkey.
In real life, Hopa’s small bus terminal is closely integrated with a fuel station, serving both local transport and long-distance coaches passing through the region. Our recreation mirrors that layout, combining the bus station and gas station into a single facility.
We also have progress on a bus stop in Istanbul;
Although the real-world terminal was originally intended for smaller vehicles like minibuses, We are adapting it to accommodate all types of buses featured in the game.
Situated in Istanbul’s Büyükçekmece district, the facility incorporates numerous custom models and assets, along with detailed landscaping; I have also made extensive use of AI throughout the development process. Furthermore, I am including the infamous “Eşek Bağırtan” (Donkey-Bellowing) incline; a notoriously steep and challenging stretch of road that strikes fear into many truck and bus drivers!
Italy: Brindisi
Next, we head to southern Italy, where we are also revealing Brindisi for the first time. The city’s main transport hub, which combines both train and bus services, has been recreated as a single integrated station area.
This location highlights how passenger travel can naturally coexist with existing logistics and city infrastructure within ProMods, offering a more authentic representation of how transport networks operate in real life.
Surprises!
Finally, we have Henningsvær & Strasbourg.
Strasbourg is in heavy development, and we are getting ready for a first tease soon. We’re preparing a bus stop with this new area, and cannot wait to show you our recent development.
Henningsvær is also an area we recenty started working on, and we have some foundations in place for busses, however, nothing has been defined or locked in. We’re working on this one for a future update.
These stations represent just a small part of our early preparations for Project Coaches. As development progresses and more details about the DLC become available, we will continue adapting and expanding the ProMods map to support passenger transport.
For now, consider this a small preview of what the future may hold within ProMods, when we release the upcoming updates for our Euro Truck Simulator 2 addons.
