Baldi's bus (formerly "Joe's bus") is a school bus vehicle owned by Baldi, who took it to drive to locations for field trips. It was originally owned by Joe.

Description

It is a 2D sprite of a poorly drawn yellow school bus in its side view with blue windows, a red doorway, and red "JOE'S BUS" text with Baldi's name written over Joe's name, misspelled as "Bald's", which represents the replacement of the owner. The wheels are not visually attached to the bus.

Unlike other 2D sprites, the entire bus appears to be flat when looking at its view in either the front or the side.

Trivia

General

  • As explained by mystman12 in a livestream, Baldi took Joe's bus because he had to go on a last-second field trip. mystman12 also explained that Baldi put his name over Joe's name so that people would not think Baldi stole the bus.[1] It is unknown what happened to Joe afterwards.
  • mystman12 was originally going to make a virtual pinball game called Joe's Ultimate Bus Ride, before deciding to enter the 2018 Meta Game Jam to create what would soon be Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning. He then decided to make this bus an Easter egg and a reference to his old project. The footage can be found here.
  • The bus from the new footage

    The bus as seen in the Development Build footage.

    In the Development Build footage for Baldi's Basics Plus revealed by mystman12 on May 8, 2019, the dithered bus with the word "LOADING!!!" on top of it is seen. The loading icon is also found in Full Game Early Demo's game files, and later implemented since Kickstarter Exclusive Demo.


Baldi's Basics Plus/Classic Remastered

  • The left part of the bus is clipping through the ground.

Baldi's Basics Plus

  • Prior to V0.3.5, if the player was on the back of the bus, its sprite disappeared. Since this version, the bus will be shown horizontally flipped in that case, but it does not cover characters or items unlike the Alarm Clock item.
