Electronic Ticketing Machines we had since the 80s in Britain, of course rolled out over time since the first iterations had poorer reliability.
Displays have been electronic by way of Dot Matrix Indicators since the 80s-90s in Britain, though few buses in London adopted them as London Transport tested the tech and then turned tail.
These were Leyland Titans (T929 T1000 T1002 T1005) as well as a Renault PR100.2 (RN1).
I was eventually going to make a post like this, the thought to write it now came about as I pondered over the iBus changes that I made a post on as well as discussions in chats.

So we'll be seeing our current setup [ETM, inside blind controls, driver iBus screen, interior iBus displays]
Then comparing them to other bus setups (not dissimilar to roasting your budget gaming PC setup), where frankly the rest are either a lot better than us, or not worse than us. Britain falling behind is an internal motto it seems.
