Passengers and charging
Passengers
The OmniLine can transport up to 17 passengers. Passengers can change seats and adjust the seating position using the UniHUD.
Passengers can click the "stop" buttons located on stanchions to request a stop. "Stop requested" light will turn on as the result. "Stop requested" light will turn off when the doors are operated.
During sim crossings, the passengers position can be reset to the starting position. This is not a bug. It prevents the passengers' avatar from crashing on the sim crossing.

The OmniLine comes with its custom charging station. To charge the bus, park it next to the charging station, then click the charging station to begin charging process. Changing port is located on right side of the bus, above front wheel.
The charging station has 3 access modes, and is set to "public" by default. You can bring up the access control menu by typing "/1 access"(without chevrons) in the chat, or performing a long click(about 1.5s) on the charger station.

Editing
We've tried to make this vehicle as bullet-proof as possible, but given it's modifable nature, there might be certain cases in which it will fail to perform properly after being modified unprofessionally. Such cases are eligible for receiving customer support at our discretion.
IMPORTANT:
Please turn "EDIT MODE" on before any modifying that isn't reflected in vehicle's "Customize..." menu.
EDIT MODE can be turned on and off in the main menu (just click the vehicle).
Remove interior objects | advanced editing
All bus specific interior objects (seats, handrails, signs, etc.) are one single prim. You can unlink and delete that prim to create an open floored vehicle. Perfect for an RV, command center or anything creative you come up with.
Global Mod Link System (GMLS)
The OmniLine has NTBI's GMLS system built in. This makes attaching addons easy. Read more about GMLS and how to use it here.
