MBTA bus 1402 in Davis displaying EMERGENCY / CALL POLICE

[flexagon]

On my way home tonight (10:30? 10:31?) a bus passed me at the corner of Elm and Russell. Everything on the bus looked okay -- bored passengers -- but where it would usually have its number and destination it was flashing EMERGENCY / CALL POLICE. Also its number, 1402.

Did anyone else see this? Was there a hijacked bus... or some driver pressing the wrong button, or a malfunction? After failing to get an answer at the Somerville PD and walking home, I called the MBTA's emergency number and got a very terse, on-the-ball person who took my late report and hopefully did something with it.

Surely it's not okay for a vehicle to drive around with signage like that if there's NOT a real emergency. Others who are more experienced with emergency response services have probably called 911 by now.
