PlayStation Bus stop glitch

[BlindBandit09]

(Summer 1, year 15, version 16.6) I am trying to go to the desert, but Pam is not at the bus stop, and there is a sign saying she is "on vacation". She's been on vacation before, so I expected to be able to buy a bus ticket and drive myself. However, when I go to the kiosk, it tells me to "please return when a bus driver is present" (I did this at 6:30am, and 10:10am after I restarted the day). I've never had this happen before, and I can't find any forums talking about it. I have restarted the day a couple times to no avail. I've tried multiplayer, just to see if that would make a difference (it didn't). Am I missing something???

I thought I was the only one who had this problem, not just that the residents sometimes don't even leave their house.

Interesting. I haven't noticed that, but I'll keep an eye out. I hope this gets patched soon.

i haven't actually suffered from this bug; but since it concerns the Bus Stop area, I thought I'd share. A duplicate of Pam's sign has appeared after her "first" vacation to Ginger Island.
PS5 v1.6.15 build 3, save file from previous build (I believe it was 1.5.xx). And for my personal curiosity; I've not tried to use the bus on festival days, could it have been a festival keeping Pam from "getting to work"? [since I've unlocked the Desert Totem recipe, I rarely wait for Pam these days]
