The bus at the Bus Stop

The Bus is a new transportation system, introduced in Animal Crossing: City Folk, driven by Kapp'n, who takes you to the City. It is styled on the typical North American school bus - a yellow bus with (usually) a green line going around the bus.

When starting the game for the first time, the player is on the bus talking to Rover, while Kapp'n whistles a tune in the background. During this chat, the town name is determined as well as the player's gender and facial appearance. After this, Kapp'n interupts Rover and alerts the two that the bus is shortly going to arrive at the town, where the player is dropped off at the Bus Stop infront of the Town Gate.

During trips to the City, Kapp'n will make small talk to the player, usually about the city and lasses (if male) or appear flirtatious (if female). If there is no response, he will whistle to himself until the 'A' button is pressed to reveal the next bit of dialogue. The tune he whistles is the same tune as the one playing on the radio in the Animal Crossing: Wild World taxi at the start of the game and the sea shanty he sings while going to the island in Template:AF+, Animal Crossing, and Template:AFe+.

A few things to notice on the bus is a big drawing of Lyle on the back of Kapp'n's seat and a little model of Kapp'n sailing on a boat which he only did in the original Animal Crossing. There is also a Bus Model that Nintendo distributed on Teacher Appreciation Week.
