Seeing a lot of violence against bus screens on x lately mainly London buses
It got me thinking ... with modern technology and say there is an issue at the front of the bus where the driver hits the red button for assistance.
Could the front and rear display change immediatly (linked) to say HELP or Call 999
The internal screens also change (but not as audio) and screens flash to say please call 999 and quote W3W location and the words the bus needs assistance quote bus code xxx
Dan or Liam may be able to know more if you can link the display and next stop announcement screens to the emergency buttons?
The reason why I say change the screens is if you are on a double deck upstairs with headphones you may not know what is happening.
I also look at changing the front and rear destinations as if the driver is alone at the terminus or on a quiet route with little passengers say on a night etc ... if the destination changes and a passer by in a car sees a destination saying Help call 999 if I am driving id sure call 999 and say ive seen a bus at X with a destination saying help call 999 it means police can be dispatched -yes thats what control for etc but they may be able to give more info and mulitple reports are better than none!
What is bus driver thoughts ?
(I would say not to change the side one next to the door as it may antagonise them more )
