I am starting to review this now... Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!)  17:17, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Moved from draft space to article space on 30th March. The article is long enough (even excluding the bullet-point sections) and well written, with no sign of any close paraphrasing or other copyright issues.  The hook (both in its original form and its shortened ALT, which I prefer) is correctly cited to the APTA organisation's handbook.  Just one  query: as far as I can see, current ref [3] (www.columbusmonthly.com/content/stories/2015/08/qa-with-howard-yoder-cota-bus-operator.html) doesn't support the sentence As drivers negotiate the obstacle course, their buses are equipped with a device that generates a "smoothness of operation" score.

 * , good catch! I didn't notice that at all. I've pointed the citation for the smoothness-of-operation score at the APTA roadeo handbook instead. APerson (talk!) 02:23, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Cheers; all looks good now. An interesting article!   Hassocks  5489 (Floreat Hova!)  11:46, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
 * (For the record, a note to the closer/user who moves this into a prep area: I personally prefer ALT1 and think it should be used instead of the original hook. APerson (talk!) 17:52, 6 April 2016 (UTC))
