    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;The first release with a version number. It gathers everything added to the four public routes since early October.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;New&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Rough drivers. About a quarter of the traffic now drives as on any Nepali road: cutting in close ahead of the bus, taking the amber, overtaking with little room. When someone cuts in, the conductor shouts &amp;quot;ए! हेरेर चला न!&amp;quot; (Hey! Watch where you're going!).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nagdhunga tunnel rules on the Prithvi Highway: a toll at the Kathmandu end (Rs 200 leaving the valley, Rs 260 coming in), 40 km/h strictly enforced inside with a fine at the far portal, and no motorbikes or scooters in the tunnel.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Yadea e-bikes on Route 4 and Pokhara Lakeside, some with a pillion. They squeeze past the bus at stops and wobble when you sound the horn behind them. Passing one too close or hitting it costs points.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Mahindra Bolero in the Prithvi Highway traffic, carrying a tarp, sacks or nothing.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Realistic handling is the new default: a bend taken too fast makes the bus run wide, the air brakes take a moment to build, and a full bus pulls away more slowly. Simple handling is still in Settings.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Other vehicles honk, and car horns now sound like a real car. The conductor calls each stop in Nepali when the doors open.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Every bus has a windscreen that leans back as on the real buses, and Nepali-style mirrors that show the road behind.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pick your bus and gears on the start screen. Automatic gears are the default, so the bus no longer feels slow for new players.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A reminder every 30 minutes to take a short break and look away from the screen. You can turn it off in Settings.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Better&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Phones: the Stats and Settings panels keep their close button in reach, the back gesture closes a panel instead of leaving the game, and the loading card no longer sits under the notch.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The sound comes back with the next tap after a call or a voice assistant takes the phone's audio.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The home site shows the trailer, and the privacy, terms and feedback pages now live on bussimulatornepal.com. The feedback page has a new topic for questions about your profile or data.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;bussimulatornepal.com has this What's new page, and the site's buttons say what they do when you point at them.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Fixed&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Two fingers on the wheel and pedals no longer zoom the page in while you drive.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Buses in the traffic no longer flicker round their wheels.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Highway traffic no longer cuts back in while still alongside the vehicle it is passing.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;On the Lakeside shore road the hillside no longer covers the road in places.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</content>
