And in no time, passengers, specially kids will scratch the displays, and maybe try to yank them off and press them so hard that they will go kaput in no time.

Airport.

Which means half of them will give up trying anything on it.

The rest actually 60-75% are BIAL employees. Well they might do more damage than the kids. I think touch should be changed to button like in-flight entertainment.

Can't argue about that. The BMTC already runs on a loss. But its a welcome change for the commuters. I have travelled by that bus and it's an ordeous long journey.

Well, that looks like a good idea. But I suspect the mods will be done to the seats and the tabs stolen :))
(I might be joking but chances of them being stolen are more than people laughing at this) :p

probably coz when the Vayu Vajra(VOLVO) buses were introduced newly it had the facility of Television and FM, those facilities didn't last too long even that was disappeared soon!

Whatever, I still think that instead of these if they would have implemented the in flight button based system, that would have lasted longer.
