This bus is acting all kinds of weird.
00:03
I come up to a stop,
00:05
I hear an alarm,
00:07
the front kind of raises,
00:10
and it acts like it's out of gear.
00:14
You can't accelerate.
00:15
You have to put it in neutral and then put it in drive again when I come to a stop.
00:24
Come to a stop on the road as opposed to come to a bus stop, correct?
00:30
Correct, it just did it and I probably can't accelerate again.
00:34
Nope,
00:35
it's gonna work this time at traffic light.
00:39
All right, 10-4[1], at your earliest opportunity, I would go ahead and pull over and then shut the bus down and then knife it.
00:48
If that's at your next stop, then that's fine.
00:51
If you can make it to your next station,
00:54
you know, just shut it down, leave it for 30 seconds,
00:57
and bring it back up again, make sure you knife it for at least that 30 seconds, though.
01:04
Okay, like I said, it acts like it's been kneeled.
01:09
So I'll do it when I get to the Breck Station.
01:13
Okay, keep check the switch, the kneel switch.
01:17
I think it's getting worn out on that one and it's kind of finicky if it might be in the kneel position.
01:23
You have to have it just right in the middle.
01:29
It appears to be in the middle.
