What does bus signal interruption mean? Does it mean no departure?

It refers to the weak or interrupted satellite positioning signal of the vehicle, making it unusable. Nowadays, many buses are equipped with wireless communication with the dispatch office and satellite positioning to facilitate the dispatch office in tracking the vehicle's whereabouts. Bus stops display the estimated time of arrival, and vehicle signal interruption means the complete or partial loss of these signals, rendering them unusable. Extended information: Introduction to buses: Buses refer to motor vehicles that operate on fixed routes in urban areas, with or without fixed schedules, transporting passengers. They generally have a square shape, windows, and seating. Bus speed: In urban areas, bus speeds typically range from 25 to 50 kilometers per hour and do not exceed 60 kilometers per hour. However, in suburban areas, speeds can reach up to 80 kilometers per hour. Buses on highways can achieve speeds of 100 or even 120 kilometers per hour. They are also known as public buses, transit buses, or simply buses. In Taiwan, China, they are referred to as public buses, passenger transport, or buses, while in Hong Kong and Macau, China, they are mostly called buses.
Bus signal interruption typically refers to issues with dedicated bus lane traffic lights or failures in the dispatch communication system, preventing normal signal transmission or traffic command. This doesn't necessarily mean service suspension. I've encountered situations like city traffic light malfunctions where buses continued operating at reduced speeds or detoured around the fault point, with companies implementing temporary measures to maintain service. Common causes include aging equipment or network instability. It's advisable to check real-time apps like AutoNavi Map before traveling to view the latest status updates, which can reduce waiting anxiety. Keeping water and snacks onboard as delay precautions is also recommended – always better than being late.
