What To To When You Retire a Bus

When you retire a bus from your fleet, you will want to do the following:
  1. Physically remove all Transportant equipment. That would include the attendant, copilot, bus pass scanner or keypad, cameras, standalone speakers, and rooftop antenna. Cables and wiring harnesses are usually not worth removing.
  2. Deallocate the attendant, copilot, and cameras that you removed.
  3. Store as spares the equipment you removed.
  4. Inform Transportant support staff at support@transportant.com that you have retired the bus. They will remove it from your Transportant inventory. That way it will not clutter up your view in the dashboard of buses in service, and it will no longer count against your contracted number of buses.
