How do you operate a bus downhill by retarder?
Usually busses do not have retarders because they are too loud and cannot be used inside most city limits on a semi truck they have a switch to turn on the jake brake (engine brake, or retarder) when the switch is on and you let the accelerator all the way up the brake takes over. All a retarder does is use your air brakes (or hydraulic) less to prevent overheating that will lead to brake loss.
