Server choice changes the traffic, the rules and the lag. It does not change the route list. Shifts, Free Drive and Daily Challenges exist in every server type. The level 10 gate is on entering the large servers, not on the activities inside them.
Join from the menu before you spawn. Selecting a server teleports you, so finish or abandon the current duty first.
Three public choices
| Type | Who can enter | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | From the start | The normal game. The Roblox listing shows a server size of 12. Community pages describe standard servers as about 14. |
| Public Realism | Level 10 | Traffic laws, vote kick, an XP boost, collisions on. The August 2025 group announcement called this a 50-player server. Later community pages say the cap is 75. Read the browser before you commit to a long duty. |
| Community Server | Level 10, or a friend's server from the Roblox homepage at any level | Up to 100 drivers. The loading screen says Sunshine Islands 100P. Heavier traffic, group runs, roleplay, and a higher chance of lag or a disconnect. |
The official game page also suggests a free private server for a smoother session. That is the right pick for a first route or a recording.
Realism rules that actually get you removed
Anyone can host a Public Realism server. The host name is hidden on the server list, and the rules appear before the teleport.
- Obey signals, signs and the traffic laws.
- Do not block the road. Hazards go on if you stop away from a stand or go AFK.
- Wait your turn while other buses load and unload.
- Collision is on, but impacts are not supposed to push or flip other vehicles.
- Vote kick can remove someone who is driving erratically or blocking the lane.
- An XP boost applies. The amount is not the same on every realism server. Read it before a long session.
Community Servers
These went live on 24 August 2025 at 14:00 UTC. The developer's video the day before, and the Roblox group post by addisonshiu, describe the same release. The group post separates two ideas:
- Realism: follow the rules, wait behind boarding buses, collision on, pushing disabled.
- Community: your own theme, hosted shifts, roleplay, races, free kick and ban tools, and a toggle that allows buses to push each other.
A lag-reduction pass in late April 2026 rebuilt several Central buildings and cut the part count (V3851, 29 April 2026). Large servers can still stutter. Leave more gap than the 7 metre door prompt suggests, because the prompt and the bus ahead of you are not the same problem.
You can join a friend's Community Server from the Roblox homepage even below level 10. Hosting and the in-game Big Server button still expect level 10.
Which one to open
| You want | Open |
|---|---|
| A first route, footage, or a low-end device | Standard, or a private server |
| The busiest road and group runs | Community Server, after level 10 |
| Enforced driving and an XP boost | Public Realism |
| The least interference | A free private server, as the game page suggests |
Report tools inside Community Servers are limited. The community notes say most reports go through the official Discord or social posts rather than an in-game ticket. Vote kick on a realism server is faster than an argument in the road.
