Primest of prime spots

While we’re on the topic of MRTs, I’ve been noticing the television sets installed in all the stations, though I’ve never once seen them turned on.

What are they planning on playing there? Even more commercials (as if EDSA isn’t cluttered enough with billboards)?

Or are they still debating whether it’s better to show Pinoy Big Brother or Darna in these sets?

    Yup. I’ve seen them turned on. It shows the view of the side of the railway and show the commuters. They prolly show the driver (since he doesn’t have rear view mirrors) if there are still people going in or out of the train before they close the doors. Especially during rush hours. That’s why sometimes it takes them a bit longer in keeping the doors open than usual to make sure the people get off from the train to their stop. ^_^

    They’re prolly not working anymore, if they’re turned off.
