A TENFOLD increase in the number of buses with top-deck music tapes should help yield over £28,000 for Greater Manchester Transport.
Public reaction to 10 buses bitted with taped music and nine minutes of advertising per hour has been favourable enough to encourage GMT to fit another 100 buses with the equipment.
They will operate in the central Manchester area, and are expected to draw in £260 extra revenue per bus.
A passenger survey on the first 10 buses revealed that only three per cent objected strongly to the music, while over 75 per cent welcomed the idea with such comments as "It cheers us up."
