How should you brake in a bus equipped with ABS brakes?

In a bus equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) brakes, the appropriate method is to apply the brakes as usual. ABS is designed to prevent the wheels from locking up during braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control even in hard braking situations.

When you apply the brakes normally, the ABS system automatically modulates brake pressure to prevent wheel lock-up. This does not require the driver to adjust their braking technique; the system handles the adjustments, ensuring efficient stopping while maintaining vehicle control.

Other techniques, such as pumping the brakes quickly or gradually releasing brake pressure, are not necessary with ABS. These actions may interfere with the system's ability to operate effectively, potentially leading to increased stopping distances or loss of control.
