The cows in Thank You Bus Driver are found at 11 map locations, ranging from the road to the grain silo and camp to downtown, the fields, and the lighthouse. Check the spots listed below, and remember that cows can respawn after you travel far enough away or move between bus stops.
Cow locations
Use these landmarks to identify each cow’s area. The locations are listed by the map labels in the source route:
| Location | Where to look |
|---|---|
| A | Behind the house near the cut-corner shortcut on the way to the grain silo. |
| B | Near the stack of hay bales on the way to camp. |
| C | On the way off the cliff near the outlook. |
| D | Between trees on the route to downtown after driving off the cliff. |
| E | Between buildings in the center of downtown. |

| H | In a field. |
| I | In a field among the sheep. |
| J | Down the alley near the houses. |
| K | Near the lighthouse. |
How to check for respawns
- Travel away from the area where you found a cow. The source indicates that cows respawn when you get far enough away.
- Alternatively, move between bus stops and then return to the relevant landmark.
- Recheck the same landmark if a cow is not present on your first pass, using the surrounding features in the table to narrow down the search.
Suggested search approach
The recommended strategy is to collect as many items that nullify rules as possible. This lets you concentrate on keeping the TYs up while making your way toward the next stop, giving you more time to search the listed areas. The source does not specify the names of those items or provide a more detailed route order, so the landmark descriptions are the available navigation references.
For an efficient sweep, begin by checking the road landmarks around the silo, camp, outlook, and cliff. Continue into downtown for the locations between buildings, the playground, and the city-hall alley. Finish by checking the two fields, the alley near the houses, and the lighthouse. If a cow has disappeared, use the distance or bus-stop respawn behavior before checking again.
