It wasn't in SBS livery or anything, but the blue lights were flashing on the front. Isn't there a way to turn them off? I doubt the Bus Operators are supposed to be using them outside of SBS routes.... |

IINM I read somewhere that the blue lights also activate the rear door bypass on the Novas. If its true, the B/O's probably wouldnt want the rear doors opening by themselves on the non-SBS routes either... |

Most (if not all) the NGs and some 5000 #ed RTSs at FB have those 'dashboard cams' as well.I think it is probably a good way to crack down on cars/trucks double parked on narrow roads and careless drivers that cuts off buses, accidents involving buses, etc. As Warner Wolf would say: "let's go to the videotape". |

(about 2001) The NF D60 artics used to have cameras pointed at both doors and one that faced the back of the bus. I dunno why those were removed. |
