This has been converted into a vehicle to hall heavy equipment on wrecker calls. Many of the parts from 53 have gone to this bus.

The lift door on this bus and bus 53 are labeled as Emergency Exits because the lifts on these buses are capable of being manually folded out of the way to provide egress for passengers able to walk.  In a modern bus where specific numbers of exits are required, this extra exit would count towards a new bus's credit for exits.
