  1. I agree with “bengutz” and JT. The loud TVs aboard buses are pretty annoying and very unwelcome. At least the content has gotten better under the new producer, but I still certainly don’t like being disturbed. Should be video-only IMO (no audio).

  2. I have to agree with “bengutz” in #MetroFail above. Those loud televisions with inane videos and dumb “news” are terribly annoying on the bus. They’re far more perturbing than people gabbing on their cell phones, talking to each other loudly, and even babies crying.
    PLEASE METRO TURN THEM OFF! Or at the very least provide content that doesn’t have any sound!
    Just show a map with real time location of the bus and maybe a silent weather forecast.
    Can we please have some quiet and dignity back on the bus?
