Kneeling Bus

And on request, the driver will lower the bus…to the kneeling position I presume.  I’ve never seen a bus on its knees or put another way, a kneeling bus, as if in prayer.  I guess the driver would have to deflate the front tires, making it a low riding bus.  Another interpretation could be that the driver, like Atlas, has hoisted the bus onto his shoulders prompting terrified passengers to issue a panicked plea for the driver to gently lower the bus.   Gently is key as weightlifters generally throw the weights down in triumph or disgust.
