The Bus Assassination

Overview

The Bus Assassination is the fourth of Lester Crest's Assassination missions for Franklin Clinton, unlocked after The Vice Assassination. The target is Isaac Penny, a venture capitalist who plans to outsource thousands of jobs once he gains control of Vapid Motor Company. Lester notes that Penny is cheap and rides the Los Santos buses to his meetings, so Franklin takes over a bus route in Downtown Los Santos to get close to him.

Walkthrough

1. Collect the bus from the bus station.
2. Drive the route and stop at each bus stop to let passengers on and off.
3. When you reach Penny's stop, he senses something is wrong and runs.
4. Chase him down and kill him, ideally by running him over with the bus.
5. Leave the area and lose any wanted level.
6. Call Lester to finish the mission.

Tips

• Drive like a real bus driver; hitting pedestrians, cops or police cars draws a wanted level and can blow your cover.
• Police patrol on foot and in cars around Downtown, so take corners slowly.
• Keep the bus intact; destroying or abandoning it fails the mission.
• Killing Penny with the bus meets the Hit and Run gold objective.

Rewards and unlocks

• $7,000 for the hit.
• Gold objectives: completion time, Hit and Run, and money earned from the hit.
• Can unlock The Construction Assassination if Minor Turbulence is already completed.
• Weazel News later reports that the Vapid buyout collapsed after the murder.
