Early experience on Public Services Vehicles has led to specialised in designs order to meet the exacting requirements of braking. This was often carried out by the vehicle manufacturers rather than the commercial brake manufacturers. Changes have occurred in the apparent need for buses which has led to the application of smaller type of vehicles utilising commercial brakes which have given rise to some problems with the type of braking used in bus operation. With the popularity of more frequent services and the need for larger vehicles, vehicle manufacturers have been forced to pursue more robust brake foundation designs, in some cases disc brakes, to meet the needs. An attempt is made to summarise these points including the use of retarders.
