Plug Sockets/USB Not Working
Plug Sockets/USB Not Working
i do think us bus enthusiast on here overestimate how much the regular punter thinks of usb/plug sockets etc. A quick survey of my office ( only 4 in as Saturday ) of those who drive .... every single one laughed out loud when i asked if being able to charge your phone/laptop would make you move from car to bus. The ones that considered moving said the Cost and reliability would be top of there list rather than and i quote * extra's that are advertised but you've just told us don't work most of the time!!"

(13 Nov 2021, 6:42 pm)Dan It’s the whole package, Rob.So what are GNE doing about all the broken sockets
A bus that is on-time, affordable, goes where you want it to go and at the right time, and is comfortable with the features that come as standard in a car.
Each one of those things in their own right aren’t enough. Put them all together and you stand half a chance.

Speaking of ways to charge your phone, I was on a X1 today and the wireless charging in the back of the seats most the things that hold the phone up were smashed off.

(13 Nov 2021, 8:29 pm)Wybus Some areas obviously don’t deserve nice thingsWhy do people ruin nice things
Reminds me when Blackpool Transport started getting their new fleet of E400City double decks, that had tables with chargers in the middle. People started pouring fizzy drinks into them ruining them. So Blackpool Transport just plated them over.
