Accessorised buses
-
I remember years back I was on board a double deck with a card phone which charged exorhibitant charges, like 60 cents per minute of call.. any idea what happened to these buses? or maybe they just removed the card phone..
Long ago also was on board a then TIBS/CSS bus equipped with a radio system, that is the bus plays music from a radio station. (This afternoon I saw CSS286G which is equipped with radio system being chartered, but don't think radio was on. Also interior is furbished to smrt bus standards). what are the buses still equipped with such facilities and which services they run, and any idea which radio station is aired on the various buses?
Recently the installation of TVMobile on 150 buses.. maybe we can compile a fleet list on that?
-
There used to be a few buses with radio... and the station was Class 95.
But most of the time the volume was barely audible above the bus engine's noise.
And then now TV Mobile is TOO LOUD. -
I remember SBS9421K of Service 7 and another one on Service 111 - Music Bus by Sony.
By the way, only 1500 buses were fitted with TV Mobile. -

i really hope more buses will be fitted with the radio technology instead, so that we can enjoy the music and programmes from the different radio stations instead of facing that gogglebox throughout our bus journies..
but is it possible to compile a list of those tvmobile installed buses? -

my personal preference is for quiet buses....low engine noise, passengers not talking too loudly, NO radio system on bus, and NO tvmobile. i always happy when the bus has no tv mobile, or when tvmobile not operating (i.e. they have a sticker that says "under maintenance").........for buses that serve school routes...i like svc 74 best because quite quiet and pleasant ride most of the time from my experience.....even when 74 is crowded during peak hours, most students usually reading notes, or sleeping or staring out window...maybe too tired after a day of school. hehehehehehehehehehe...

I enjoy bus-rides with spoilt TV on no TV.Originally posted by kuekj:thanks, i think i'll do my job and note down the buses which have tvm n their routes! today on board a bus which had a spoiled tvm, the tv freeze on one frame for quite long then change frame then continue to freeze.
Some are so loud I really feel like smashing them, they look like and sound like chatterboxes.
Ok lah, to be fair, I dun mind if it is soft, but I do not have bus pass, so I cannot choose the buses before it is usually too late.
