REAR CARGO STORAGE
If equipped, rear cargo compartments,
offer spacious storage for all shapes
and sizes of luggage and leisure-type
gear. Optional racks and shelving can
be tailored to your requirements.
Compartments feature door-activated
interior lighting and lockable cargo
doors for easy access and security.
Optional warning lights and buzzers
are available to warn the driver when
the doors are unlatched.
Drivers and baggage handlers should
take care to arrange their cargo so
as to minimize movement in transit.
Suitcases free to fall or shift during
sharp turns or quick stops can cause
damage to contents and create a
negative impression of your bus
service. Cargo storage door jamb seals
should be checked regularly for a tight
fit to keep dust and moisture out of the
luggage area.
OPEN-SHELF STORAGE
If equipped, shelving and racks
located behind the driver’s area, let
passengers stow their own suitcases
and other large items as they enter
the bus — without assistance from the
driver. This type of storage is similar to
compartments found on commercial
aircraft and offers the same time
saving, self-service convenience.
It’s a good practice to check fasteners,
screws, etc. on the interior luggage fixtures on a
regular basis to make sure they are tight, and the
fixture is in sound operating condition.
OVERHEAD STORAGE
If equipped, overhead compartment
storage, provides convenient storage
for smaller personal items. They are
often used on transit, tour, and airport
buses, where passengers are likely
to be carrying packages and extra
personal items.
i IMPORTANT
DRIVERS SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT
THE ITEMS STOWED WILL NOT FALL
INTO THE AISLE DURING TRANSIT OR
OTHERWISE OBSTRUCT EGRESS AND
ENTRY.
i IMPORTANT
PASSENGERS CAN EASILY BE
INJURED BY OBJECTS FALLING
FROM OVERHEAD STORAGE.
DRIVERS SHOULD MAKE EVERY
EFFORT TO MINIMIZE THIS RISK.
ONE PRECAUTION IS TO WARN
PASSENGERS THAT HEAVY
ITEMS SHOULD NOT BE PLACED
IN THE OVERHEAD STORAGE
COMPARTMENTS.
