The '''Bus Stop''' is an exterior map near the center of Stardew Valley, and is where you first arrive at the start of the game. The main path through this area connects [[The Farm]] to the west with [[Pelican Town]] to the east. By following the road to the west you can also access the lower section of the [[Backwoods]] (the road cannot be followed to the east).

The [[Minecart]] in the northwest corner of the map is initially broken; once repaired, it provides access to [[the Mines]], [[Pelican Town]] near the [[Blacksmith]], and the [[Quarry]].

==The Bus==

The bus is broken down after you arrive and remains so until repaired by the [[Junimos]] after purchasing all of the [[Bundles#Vault|Vault Bundles]] for a total of {{price|42500}} or by purchasing the Bus repair for {{price|40000}} from the [[Joja Community Development Form]].

[[Pam]] becomes the Bus Driver once the bus is repaired. She arrives at the Bus Stop at 10:10am and will leave at 5:00pm every day, and tickets are available to purchase for {{price|500}} during this time. Purchasing a ticket at the machine triggers the bus to take The Player to the [[The Desert|Calico Desert]]. Tickets include the return trip from the Desert to the Bus Stop.

It is possible to get the bus earlier than 10am by waiting for Pam outside her [[trailer]] at 8.30am and standing in her way. Once she walks through [[The Player]], she will walk significantly faster than usual and reach the bus stop at 9:30am, and a ticket can be purchased as soon as she arrives.

If Pam is unavailable for the day, she leaves a sign in front of the bus telling the player why she is out and that they can drive the bus themself. This allows the player to drive to Calico Desert on Spring 25, when Pam usually has an appointment at [[Harvey's Clinic]], or when she is on vacation at the [[Ginger Island#Island South|Ginger Island Resort]]. The player still has to pay {{price|500}} to use the bus.

If you leave your [[Animals#Horse|horse]] by the bus stop, when you return from the desert a message will appear on-screen saying "Your loyal horse waits patiently for your return." or "[Horse's name] is wondering where you have been."

==Unused Content==

==Unused Content==

The "Bus People" map area was an unused part of the game's introduction. The player was in control at this point, and could move around and interact with people and objects on the bus. This scene was removed from the game before its initial release, but some of the data related to this scene can still be found in the game's files.

When the player talks to the bus driver after talking to Haley, an event will start playing involving an unknown character named Dobson. It's possible that "Dobson" was later replaced with the JojaMart manager, [[Morris]]. The source code file <samp>Locations\Bus.cs</samp> contains the actions and messages that would be take place if the event were able to play out.

The bus ticket shown below was never implemented in the released version of the game. It was intended to appear in the Player's wallet. In v1.3, the bus ticket image was replaced in game files with the [[Magnifying Glass]] image.
