In the wider shot of [[:File:Bus Depot.png]] the building also has Springfield Bus Station written on the side so isn't next door, but I seems like a combo building. A bus depot and a bus station are often used interchangeably yet Milhouse goes there specifically to buy a ticket from the counter which happens at a bus station as a depot bus (quoting the Wikipedia article), "While the term bus depot can also be used to refer to a bus station, it can also refer to a bus garage." Bus depots are usually used for the storage and maintained of buses while the bus station is where passenger buy tickets (think of airplane hangar and airport terminal are both part of the airport with different functions). It might be the building is a combo of the two, but it's more confusing to separate it as the use in the episode is as a bus station and the building as Springfield Bus Station prominently written on it at least twice.

:The update kick of is unique for this content update as well as decorations and buildings which differ in price and appearance.

:::No, the update is not the same. For instance some itmes cannot be obtained - in contrast to the first Stonecutters event. Moreover there are significant gameplay differences - as thereJ were daily tasks in the first Stonecutters event. Because of that and in order not to confuse readers, it is advantegous to keep to keep separate articles.

Bus Depot and Bus Station[edit]

In the wider shot of File:Bus Depot.png the building also has Springfield Bus Station written on the side so isn't next door, but I seems like a combo building. A bus depot and a bus station are often used interchangeably yet Milhouse goes there specifically to buy a ticket from the counter which happens at a bus station as a depot bus (quoting the Wikipedia article), "While the term bus depot can also be used to refer to a bus station, it can also refer to a bus garage." Bus depots are usually used for the storage and maintained of buses while the bus station is where passenger buy tickets (think of airplane hangar and airport terminal are both part of the airport with different functions). It might be the building is a combo of the two, but it's more confusing to separate it as the use in the episode is as a bus station and the building as Springfield Bus Station prominently written on it at least twice.
