The "Passengers" Problem: How to Actually Carry People

Here is the biggest hurdle: ETS2 1.46 does not natively support passenger transport. If you download just the bus mod, you will drive an empty bus.

To fix this, you need a passenger mod or a bus terminal mod:

ETS2 Passenger Transportation Mod: This replaces specific cargo types (usually "Fragile" or "Medical" cargo) with "Passengers."
Bus Terminal Mod (v1.46): Adds bus stops and terminals to every major city.

Pro Tip for 1.46: Use the "Bus Traffic Pack" by Jazzycat (updated for 1.46). While this adds AI buses to the road, it also includes a standalone trailer package that turns your bus into a "cargo hauler" for people.
