  The only DD buses having CCTVs are
  - VSOs
  - Tridents
  - SBS9525U
  
  Let mi explain..
  For VSOs and Tridents, the case is different from SBS9525U.. For Tridents and VSOs, they only had one CCTV on the upp deck to check whether there are anybody standin on the upper deck and to see if all passengers are settled down before they move off (although most of the time, this is ignored) and obviously, another at Exit Door.. BUT, for SBS9525U's case is different.. they have 6 CCTVs on board.. and, instead of black and white screens inside the drivers cabin, they have a Large LCD Colour SCreen.. (P.S. 9525U is actually on trial for the CCTV Thing.)

  The CCTV on the upper deck is to see whether there's anyone still alighting before the BC close the exit door & to see whether there's anyone who forgot to alight at the int/terminal...not for other things (same function as the periscope...just that periscope always get blocked)

  like a camera is going to prevent maniacs from blowing up a bus...

  Of course it won't help directly but it does help in the sense that the drivers would be able to spot any suspicious packages and people
  
  but it will also means that we bus enthusiasts will not be as free to take pictures anymore...

  No..Guides for public..not only for Bus fans

  its bad news for us bus fans, will be difficult to photograph bus interiors and interchanges anymore....
  
  btw, i feel that CCTVs will not help much in the fight against terror...terrorists are capable of doing lots of other things in the dark to execute an attack...
  
  the only way is ensure the public is vigilant to suspicious parcels, bags, people etc...AND NOT US BUS FANS PHOTOGRAPHING BUSES IN PUBLIC !! WHICH TERRORIST WILL BE SO STUPID TO PHOTOGRAPH BUSES IN PUBLIC FOR EVERYONE TO SEE??? WAIT FOR UNDERCOVER POLICE TO SPOT THEM????[/b]

  you think for one single moment the drivers are going to look out? they've too many things to do as it is... driving, ticketing, looking out for traffic, looking out for fares, looking out to make sure no one gets run over, blah blah blah..

  Actually, i went to London in Feb and taken their DD and noticed that certains new DDs do have CCTV located at different sections of the buses, and the LCD does change camera view every few seconds. Dun think it does got much use against terrorism as well...

  got a question: do you want the driver to look at the screen or the road?
  
  i don't wanna survive a terrorist attack and end up being killed in a road traffic accident

  actually for the London DD, the CCTV image was shown on LCD panel, just like the TV mobile, located just behind the stairs to upper deck. It is for the passengers to see. Not sure whether there is another smaller LCD panel at the bus driver seat or not.
