On an urban transit bus, what does the brake and accelerator interlock do?
Correct answer: It works as a safety device while the rear door is open.
Answer options
- AIt sounds a warning just before the rear door begins to close
- BIt can be used in place of the parking brake at stops
- CIt works as a safety device while the rear door is open Correct
Why
When the rear door of an urban transit coach is open, the interlock sets the brakes and holds the throttle at idle; closing the door releases it. It is only a safety aid and must never be used instead of the parking brake.
