Martz Bus uses them to communicate between drivers, to report road conditions and stuff like that. LION has ridden right behind the driver, and while cell phones *might* be a good solution, their implementation of them surely is NOT. Looking down to speed-dial while operating a bus on the interstate is not a good idea.We have a cell phone on our ambulance. It is not in the driver's compartment, but it does have voice capabilities. I click the on button, and say "One" and it dials the Richardton Hospital. If I say "Two" it dials St. Joseph Hospital in Dickinson. If I say "three" it dials St. Alexius Hospital in Bismarck. If I say "Four" it dials Medcenter One in Bismarck. If I say "Five Three" it dials the switchboard at the Abbey. (See *my* radio number is 5553---cute eh?) Rig this up with a bluetooth something and the bus driver *could* make his communications safely. But a little pocket cell phone doesn't cut it according to the LION. ROAR |
