Nice work! Generally on any bus, if the rear doors are open (or the sensor detects them open), the air-brakes won't disengage and the bus goes nowhere (on some, it locks-out the gear selector to Neutral only).
I had the chance to ride some of the new hybrid "bendy" buses in Chicago -- they're have a nice transition from standing start to acceleration.
