- Since introducing Croydon Companies, you have created more than 13,000 custom companies. This number is larger than we ever anticipated and is growing fast, so we have implemented a more scalable backend solution for the company search system - this will prevent the search index from getting full and slowing down. The new search system is designed to be able to store up to 1,000,000 companies compared to 65,000 previously.
- The company search now updates every 10 minutes - you will no longer have to wait for a new server to open.

- My Garage: View all your owned buses in one convenient location – perfect for returning players!
- Company Bus Spawning: Instantly spawn blank company buses with the new ‘company bus’ category (look for the blue C icon).

- Enhanced experience for new users with no buses.
- Various stops with missing or incorrect iBus announcements fixed

- Fixed on-time bonuses giving incorrect bonuses. Now, at the end of a route,
- Players get 5 points per on-time stop.
- If you are driving a (not plain) Croydon Companies bus, the company will also get 5 points per on-time stop.
- Fixed an issue where you wouldn’t receive any points if you travelled too quickly between bus stops.
- Route end awards now stop increasing after 50 on-time stops to discourage ridiculously long routes.

Changes due to technical limitations:
- The custom company search index has been reset. This means that most companies will not show up on the search for a short period of time. Your custom company will become available on the search up to 30 minutes after the next time you load it. In the meantime, check out our rebranded operators! In the rare event the search goes out of sync, updating your colour theme will correct this.
- Temporarily disabled gifting of the following items: Packs, Points, and QuickBoard.
- Reduced maximum server size to 50 to enable voice chat until the limit is increased. In practice, this won’t make much of a difference because most of the reduction has been absorbed by a decrease in the number of (rarely used) reserved places for friends.
- Removed Daily Challenges - this was an obsolete feature anyway.
- Most badges will be awarded on joining the game.
