NotesThis bus is equipped with GPS (Global Positioning System) tracking that is tied into the two-way radio system.  Notice the black boxes above the interior mirror... one of them is the GPS system and the other is the transmitter.  Whenever the driver keys the microphone, the bus number and exact location of the bus appear on a computer screen in the transportation dispatch center.  This bus also has some optional dashboard gauges that are less commonly seen on the Ford chassis: a tachometer, ammeter, and a Hobbs hourmeter (round black gauge between the parking brake and the glove box).
