City Liner

City Liner was the name given by the D.C. Metro Service Bureau to a public bus network. This network covered most of Washington, D.C. and the surrounding communities in Maryland and Virginia.

Buses
Each bus in the fleet was powered by a nuclear engine with exhaust vents in the front and in the rear. Access panels, located on the outside of the bus and just beneath the driver, were used by mechanics for accessing critical components of the bus. On either side of the bus, there were double folding doors with a handrail for the entering and exiting of passengers. On the front of the bus, a digital display gave directions on where the bus was heading. Inside the bus, passengers would sit on benches, while the driver sat up front on a raised podium. Advertisements were placed above the windows in the passenger compartment. Each bus had identifying marks. The marks on one bus read: "DC L 25601" and "406".

All buses in the game have the same identifying marks as only one model of the bus was ever made and then copied repeatedly. As to features, there are two 1950s-style projections that mimic stereotypical rocket engine designs of the time, located on either side of the bus' front end. These are most visible from the top of the bus. One can get to the top of a bus by simply doing a series of small jumps starting from one of the rearward projections which has the words "No Step" labeled on it. On the back it cautions: Warning Radiation and Warning: Exhaust.

Explosive capability
The City liner, when shot at enough will have the largest of the vehicle explosions followed by the transport truck. With the power of roughly 3 mini nukes exploding beside each other simultaneously, but with less damage after the explosion, there will be 1-2 rads for about 2 minutes.

Bus stops
A typical bus stop for the City Liner network was a canopy-type structure that may or may not have a bench and/or a garbage can. Sometimes there were two or more bus stops in the same location. For example, Fairfax Ruins had four of these stops. Bus stops were located:


 * In Springvale
 * Adjacent to the Super Duper Mart
 * In Fairfax Ruins
 * North of the Chryslus Building
 * West of the Metro Station in Arlington Cemetery North
 * North-west of Mama Dolce's
 * East of Metro station in Arlington Cemetery South
 * On Fairfield Drive in Falls Church, on same block as Super Mutant Camp
 * North of Office Building in Falls Church, on island in parking lot
 * Pensylvania avenue, on the road.

Bugs

 * There is an amusing bug were the bus will 'fly away'. To do this, equip the MIRV, stand near a bus, save, and then load that save. Now when you walk towards that bus with the MIRV equipped, the bus should fly away. This bug works a lot better on Xbox than on PS3. Not tested on PC

Appearances
City Liner appears in Fallout 3, and several wrecks and halves with interiors can be found in Fallout: New Vegas.
