Are There Televisions In The Buses In Your Country?

I wonder! A few hours ago, my niece and I arrived from our bus travel home. We are tired but happy as our travel was fun and successful. When we started our bus travel, I was surprised when I entered the bus. It was modern. The seats were like the seats in the airplanes though without a small folding table where one can take a meal. As curious as I was, I took photos to document my travel. There were a few small televisions hanging in the bus ceiling. A movie was played. The bus was air conditioned that I felt cosy and slept every now and then. I have traveled to Rome from Germany passing through Switzerland by bus but there was no single TV in it. Well, that was before the millennium. Maybe there are already nowadays. Are there TVs in the busses in your country?

The buses we use here for short trips have no TV, but those for long trips now have TVs.

@LadyDuck I have only done 3 times bus travel to Rome and Paris with a friend and some relatives. That was before the millennium. We usually traveled with a car in Europe.

yes and WiFi too, but seldom do the buses turn on the TV. the WiFi is already giving the passengers good experience

@thelme55 yes, and when i and my son went to the capital city, and the bus where we rode had WiFi, i was so glad because the place where we sat even had an outlet to charge our phones.

That is good if there's wifi in the bus @ridingbet. It is definitely a plus benefits to bus travelling.

Yes, the coaches have TV sets here long time ago. They play movies so that some passengers may not feel so boring. But today perhaps people like to surf the net in the coaches much more And the buses in the city will have TV and usually they play some cooking, travel programs and so on. The subway is the same. I especially like watching its cooking programs

@thelme55 Here it hardly plays the sports program. Perhaps it will play a little scenes only. As the cooking programs may be much more intersting for people. Here people enjoy eating and we have a saying here: Eating in Guangzhou

I would rather watch a cooking show in a bus tv that watch women wrestling or other sports @youless.

Yes, buses are now equipped with TV , on in from and the other one halfway. There is also a portable comfort room, but it's hard to enter it when the buss is running though. They also have free WIFI .

That is very interesting. It has been a very long time since I traveled by bus, so I don't know what they have now.

@thelme55 Maybe they do. The last plane we went on had little individual iPad type things.

Some of the big coaster buses have small ones. I am in the Caribbean and I have seen them in the few islands I have traveled to.
