How has technology changed a bus?

Answer 1

Turbocharged diesel engines now produce so much power that a bus can easily keep up with traffic acceleration. Automatic transmissions ease driver fatigue. Adaptive speed control is available to permit the bus to travel at the desired speed when the road is clear ahead, and slow to match the speed of the vehicle ahead when needed, without driver intervention.

Sensors warn the driver of a vehicle presence on either side, and at the rear.

Remote cameras provide a view of the area behind the bus.

Air conditioning is now standard, public address systems are common, and some buses have flat screen entertainment systems.

Hydraulic suspensions kneel to make passenger entry easier.
