Concept:

The driver and passengers get hungry during long trips.

Food needs can appear as a new status bar (like fuel, fatigue, or damage).

Hunger increases over driving time and decreases after stopping at restaurants, cafes, or rest areas.

Passenger satisfaction could decrease if they don’t eat for too long, affecting trip rating or income.

Optional setting (for realism fans) — can be toggled on/off in gameplay settings.

Benefits:

Adds more realism for long-distance coach driving.

Makes use of rest stops, diners, and scenic locations.

Expands immersion for future Bus DLC or Life Simulation features.

Encourages planning breaks like real drivers and passengers.

Bonus Ideas:

Add visible “snack” and “drink” items in the cab.

Include “Passenger Services” stats (hunger, comfort, restroom needs).

Future integration with Driver Wellbeing mechanic (sleep, hunger, hygiene).
