Title says it all. Panels went dark and motor shutoff while bus was still in motion. Driver did a great job and brakes did not fail. No injuries.
I tried to capture reboot sequence but fumbled my phone :(. Mildly distressing that this is a thing that happens…
Edit
Note this happened twice in a row. The first time eveything powered down completely. The driver stopped the bus, waited a minute, rebooted and off we went. The second time, lights stayed on, but everything else blipped. Deiver restarted engine (presumably for ac) and radioed for help.

As a railfan and a graphic designer, the first thing I check out when in a new town with public transit is their transit map. You can tell a lot about a city by how they represent themselves on a transit map, and I myself have designed more maps than I can count. What's the map of your city look like? Do you have a personal favourite you think is really unknown? Any maps that you just want to rant about because of how terrible it is?
My personal favourite transit map is Constantine Konovalov's Paris Metro Map, I just love how effortlessly it weaves the lines throughout the Peripherique, and how it's not afraid to break its own established rules on angles and circles. Honorable mentions go to the London Tube and Rail map (an absolute classic), and the Mexico City Metro, which assigns a unique symbol to every station for the benefit of passengers who can't read or write.
Also, designers, feel free to share your transit diagrams! I miss r/transitdiagrams a lot and would love to see your work, fictional, redesign or otherwise!
