The lift door on this bus and bus 11 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.

Before it was filled with parts, this was a bus I used to visit frequently and play in as a child.  I believe I peeled off the "I" in ServiCar at the tender age of seven.  What a souvenir.
