Will

Hello

When I try to solve this rewriting exercise, I wonder I can omit "will" or not.

#1 If you take this bus, you can get to the station.

The answer is this:
#2 This bus will take you to the station.

Do you usually put "will" in this expression? Do you also use #3 without "will"?
Can they convey the same meaning? Or is #3 too colloquial?

#3 This bus takes you to the station.

Thank you.
