Almost 30 minutes he’s been trying to get on the bay now.

I still suck pretty badly but it would have to be a horrific bay to take 30 mins.

What could possibly go wrong?

Lots of bullets where they shouldn’t be …

Buses are an incredibly harsh environment for Electronic Equipment. They’re generally low volume and virtually hand built.

Build quality is therefore variable.

All buses leak. Water- especially when mixed with cleaning chemicals- and electricity don’t mix.

There is a bloody good reason why a driver is still needed.

Many automatic driver’s aids are shit. Years ago , we had buses with ‘Hold Brakes’. The idea was that if the Brake Pedal was depressed for a certain period, brakes on both axles would hold the vehicle.

Wonderful. This meant that the bus was prevented from rolling back- as they had a ‘Neutral Bus Stop’ facility fitted; bus standing; bus goes into Neutral until ‘Gas’ pedal is depressed.

Thing is, some worked perfectly. Others would apply the ‘Hold Brake’ suddenly. Distinctly sub-optimal when controlling the vehicle speed on the brakes when in slow- moving downhill traffic jams. Y’know the kind often found in city centres…

The cunting things would stop dead. Throwing everything and everyone to the front of the fucking bus. Including the fucking driver.

Ask me how I know.

This system was deactivated eventually.

Was it from a small manufacturer’s stable? No. Scania…
