Some city transit buses may have a brake-door interlock system, this system:
Answer: A
Works when the passenger exit doors are open.
The brake and accelerator interlock system holds the throttle in the idle position while applying the brakes whenever the exit door is opened. This safety procedure ensures that the vehicle does not move as passengers enter and exit. This feature should never be used as a parking brake.

C. Should be used in emergencies.
