In February of 2007, we have equipped Hip-Hop buses with AED devices. AED is medical device that gives an electric shock to the heart in the case of cardiopulmonary arrest. AED also provides automatic diagnosis if the electric shock is needed or not, so even people without medical knowledge can use it following the audio guideline. Our hope is that AED in the bus will provide support to our customers in the case of emergency.
