This update fixes various errors in both the Bus Company Simulator and the Control Center Simulator that occurred during the change of day when accepting and dispatching tours.

From December 1st to December 24th, small rewards await you every day. Each door is only available on its own day - so don't miss out!

We hope to bring you a little joy with this update and wish you a wonderful advent season! 🌟
