255 Bus Route

The 255 Tommaso Mall / Milan-45th is a general service bus route that is part of the Antherstone Regional Transit bus network. It is a general route with several bus rapid transit elements, however is widely considered general service. The route entered service in the pre-release version of 1.2 The RapidBus Update and is one of the first few general routes to be in service. It's express counterpart, the 256 Tommaso Mall / Milan-45th BRT Express covers most of it's route however the 255 is still kept in service for it's convenience as the 256 flies by many stops as it was meant to be an express service.

The 255 is also similar to the R6 RapidBus Servicing Route, but however does not take the same route as the R6.

Like the R6 and unlike the 256, the 255 was also extended outwards towards Pinetree Way.

History
The 255 first started off as a minority route serving only as a Community Shuttle in North Arsville. When the North Arsville project was scrapped in favor of a newer, and better map: 255 was placed in the cupboards and was never spoken of again. Later in 2020, members of the council began discussing the possibility of re-introducing the route 255 number but this time as a long-distance route which will run alongside the R6 and 256.

Route Description
The 255 travels mainly on Connector Highway following the 256, and R6 (most of the way) with several parts of the route mainly on Qwerty Road and Propulsion Road, and the majority on Killian Road. Unlike it's express counterpart (256), the 255 does not run on the future Rapidway Bridge.
