Get out the emergency supplies fron briefcase. 1-Remove 12 in square floor panel by rear seat. 2-Tie end of strapping tape( someone always has a broken suitcase latch) to governor arm & run it down the aisle, tie other end to throttle pedal. 3-Place seat cushion over hole in floor to cut down on engine noise.

Got passengers to destination on schedule, saved cost of sending replacement bus & 200 mile towing of the disabled one.
