Pretty impressive. I still rate these LED displays over the full screens. I think the message is a lot more clear to the passenger, no matter where they're sat on the vehicle, and the volume seems to be spot on too - I'm normally first to whinge if it's not!
Question though - where the 'next stop' is close/approaching, and the display changes to the two line mode, does the date/time on the second line change if the bell has been pressed? i.e. to display 'Bus Stopping' or something similar? I was wondering on my way over Washington tonight, and forgot to take note when it came to me pressing the bell...
I'm quite a fan of the announcements too.
I was on a 46 Streetlite heading into Newcastle and we had just passed Clayton Street when the announcements played
"The next stop is Consett Front Street" ...... a slight blip I imagine
