Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some buses made by Evobus have a heater in the toilet tank. The heater can start a fire if it is not protected by a fire alarm.

What's happening? These buses were sold without the fire alarm system that should warn if the heater gets too hot.

Does this affect me? If you use a Setra, Travego, or Tourismo bus in Germany, Denmark, or Croatia, check if it has this heater.

What should I do? Ask your bus company to check the heater. If you own one, talk to a mechanic or your dealer about adding the alarm.
