Following on from the radios on buses thread....
In the late 1990s ( I think?) We arrived at work one Monday morning to find most of the buses in our depot had been fitted with TVs. No consultation with staff, they played and endless loop of old on the buses episodes interspersed with coke cola adverts,
This was from a company that would go mad if you had a radio in the cab as it " distracted" you.
They were set up so that as the bus noise increased, the volume on the TV increased.
It was grim, hour after hour of the same old rubbish in your ear, the passengers didn't like them and the drivers hated them. They were set up so the driver couldn't switch them off or turn the volume down, if the bus was running the tv was running.
Anyone else have experience of this?
