“This is the bus that we were tracking for brake drag in New Flyer Connect earlier in the week. As indicated by New Flyer Connect it was an issue with the four PSI switch on the rear curbside axle. In this case, New Flyer Connect was able to save us many hours of diagnostic time in locating the root cause of this failure.“ - Vinny Albino, Field Technical Service Specialist
