00:00To ensure safety, first of all, we cannot allow the buses with the 3-pin socket to be used by the public.

00:11So, a notice was issued to all bus operators.

00:17If they have a 3-pin socket, they need to close it for the public.

00:25To use the 3-pin socket again, they need to send it to the authorized authorities to be inspected.

00:38If the inspection is successful, they can submit to APAT to use the 3-pin socket again.

00:44Meanwhile, to ensure safety, the 3-pin socket is prohibited to be used by the public.

00:51Until the bus company inspects the 3-pin socket.

00:54What if the bus uses a USB port?

00:58We need to look at the USB port as well.

01:01Because they are afraid of the 3-pin socket.

01:03It's not about the 3-pin socket or the USB.

01:07The victim uses a USB port as well.

01:10It's not a 3-pin socket.

01:12But the USB is connected to the 3-pin socket.

01:15So, for the time being, we prohibit everything until the bus inspection is done.

01:22So, if the bus wants to revive their socket or USB, they need to do a bus inspection.

01:30And it's recognized by the Australian Railways.

01:33By the competent authorities.
