# Bus ### Tokenized Transit Union Owning a *Bus* gives you exclusive membership into the **Tokenized Transit Union**, an alliance of bus owners who must ardue the treacherous conditions, put their drivers and heavy duty machinery in harms way, to transport our degen passengers. > Protocol generated rewards go towards enhancing this alliance, in multiple forms. * The first of which, and most common, is the [Bus Staking Pool](/protocol-categories/bus-staking-pool.md)*,* only available to *Bus* owners. * A *Bus* owner can own and stake multiple buses > The *Bus* NFT derives its value from the health of the protocol. Directly correlated to the popularity of riding the bus, it has real utility that can be viewed and tracked on chain. ### Initial Mint *Buses* will be distributed to users of the protocol at a date to be determined. Initially, we planned a presale. The presale didn't generate the hype we hoped for, so we will be retroactively distributing these! We may or may not have a secondary sale beyond an initial airdrop. {% hint style="warning" %} Get involved to voice your opinion on how these should be distributed within our community! {% endhint %} If we do a sale, proceeds from Bus sales will go directly back into the protocol as incentives to seed higher levels in the game. Rewards generated from users playing the game are distributed to *Bus* owners via the *Bus Staking Pool*. Until Buses are created, rewards will be used for marketing to grow the protocol. ### Artwork Read more about what went into making the collection [here](/team/the-art.md) or in our [blog](https://blog.ridethebus.xyz/beyond-tokens-exploring-the-artistry-of-bus-nfts-5615852742da). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
