It seems that taking the bus has gotten a whole lot easier. Now, for those riders who are fed up with crosswords or who find the scenery less than inspiring, there's another way to while away the miles.
Movies. Yep, recent films on the bus. On Peter Pan and Bonanza bus lines, which serve much of the Eastern seaboard, a passenger can get on at New York's Port Authority, head out on the highway and start enjoying "Groundhog Day." Or "Last Action Hero." You get the picture.
The way the movie is shown is much the same as the airlines do it. The driver puts a videocassette in a player, which is screened to about six monitors throughout the coach.
