RIDE Electric Transit Buses Featured in Bus Bound Through New Let’s RIDE! Bus Pack

RIDE K9MD and K11M battery-electric transit buses are now available for players to experience in the popular bus-driving simulation game

PASADENA, CA (September 29, 2026) — RIDE’s battery-electric transit buses are taking to the virtual road in Bus Bound, the bus-driving simulation game from Saber Interactive and stillalive studios.

The new Let’s RIDE! Bus Pack features two RIDE transit buses, the K9MD 40’ and K11M 60’, giving players the opportunity to experience the vehicles as they transport passengers throughout the game’s fictional city of Emberville. The downloadable content was released in June and is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

The K9MD is a 40-foot battery-electric transit bus designed for public transportation, university campuses, airports, and corporate campuses. The K11M is a 60-foot articulated battery-electric transit bus designed for high-volume urban transit systems and BRT applications.

“We’re excited to see RIDE buses represented in Bus Bound and to give players another way to experience electric transit,” said Patrick Duan, CEO of RIDE. “We appreciate the team at Saber Interactive and stillalive studios for bringing the K9MD and K11M into the game and creating an experience that highlights the role buses play in moving people through their communities.”

The Let’s RIDE! Bus Pack is the first downloadable content expansion for Bus Bound and adds the two RIDE buses to the game’s growing lineup of officially licensed vehicles.

“We’re proud to partner with Saber Interactive and stillalive studios on this project and look forward to seeing where players take the RIDE buses.”
