AFTER nine years, the ubiquitous TVMobile service on buses will end on Jan 1.

MediaCorp, which operates the free to air mobile television service on 1,500 SBS Transit buses, said that the major contributing factor is commercial viability.

It said in a statement on Tuesday: 'The resources required to operate and maintain the service are substantial.

'Having carefully evaluated the viability of the service, MediaCorp has decided to discontinue the service upon expiry of its current agreement with SBS Transit.'

It will re-deploy all its TVM staff to other operations.

Nunbun: good bloody riddance. Back to the good old days of the sound of the engine of the bus to enjoy a nice nap. Excluding those idiots who listen to their MP3 phones without their earphones.

Nice work. I found your blog by clicking the “Next Blog” button on the blue Nav Bar found at the top of most Blogger/com/blogspot blogs. I frequently just “blog surf” to find out what others are doing in the blogosphere. I enjoyed the experience. Keep it going.
