Re: NSW On Demand Buses
I hate the prebooked idea from locations like this, they should be trying to get customers and once they have enough then depart.
As there are 2 vans sitting there, the second one could be used if there is a pre booked customer from a pick up location elsewhere.

Re: Bus onboard PIDS
Busways have displays in some of the CB80’s or Bustech VST’s
Only seen them showing destination of the route they are on and never a fully functional display.
Others have shown UK services.
