lol i got a kick out of the comments. Clearly none of these fools actually lived in raleigh before. Because then they would know that nobody rides busses here.

The few nights we went out downtown during the week and wanted to ride the R Line, it wasn't running. It would be cool if it had a TV on it though.

So I get the purpose of mobile TV is to put TV on someones cell phone, but in the case of this story, why didnt they just stick an antenna on top of the bus and be done with it? Weve had vehicles with TVs on board for years, so whats new, other than the massive LG ads in that picture? Looks like nothing but a waste of bandwidth to me.

Wow! Look at all the riders. What did they do, round up all the managers/higher-ups that were involved in the TV project for a photo op?

i'm wondering how long those tv's will last before they're removed by CAT's usual demographic

yay more unnecessary apostrophe's

i'm not sure if you realize, but the buses are actually pretty busy in the 8am/5pm times. at least the TTA buses are. i don't ride the CAT buses often.

yay for smartasses who should check their grammar rules and realize that apostrophe is in fact used when implying ownership

i say, though, that this is tech talk and the rules of grammar do not apply!
