Unless GNE had a fleet of tow trucks, strategically placed around the network, then you're never going to be able to control the recovery time. The fitter will still be tied up dealing with the job.
(31 Aug 2022, 1:09 pm)streetdeckfan To me, unless it's a simple fix ie. topping up with water, the default option should be recovery back to the depot with a replacement sent out (if it's a low frequency route)I found this on another bus recovery website. https://www.eurotaxis.com/services/comme...-recovery/
It's not worth the time and effort faffing about at the side of the road trying to fix it unless you can guarantee it'll be fixed and the bus can be on it's way. You might as well just have it recovered back to somewhere you can work on it properly, with all the proper equipment.
While I don't know how much it costs per recovery, I can't imagine it's that much in comparison to having someone extra on staff
