Read in buses that we dont use the pre-set announcements enough, and gave an example that we don't tell them when no seats are available upstairs.
Now we only got single decks but do have the "no standing on upper deck" and "seats are available upstairs" but not got a "no seats available.." so this on double decks or not?

Some drivers do find it hard to press a button on a screen lol.
When the iBus was freshly installed at depots ive noticed the drivers used the announcements much more but recently ive heard none of the announcements what so ever.
For buses like omnicity's shouldnt there be an announcement such as 'seats are avaliable towards the back of this bus' would be useful for bendy buses.
As i keep saying i think alot of buses suffer with a low volume of the iBus which means passengers cant hear the announcements. When its busy and people are talking you cant hear the iBus and announcements get used when its busy lol.
