Indian Trails Coaches Now "In The Loop"

From Bus Ride magazine, here's an article on how Indian Trails, a Michigan based motorcoach company that has been in operation for over 100 years is now one of the first companies in the country to install technology in 17 of their coaches used in line run service throughout the state to enable passengers who are hard of hearing to clearly hear the PA system announcements made by the bus driver. Indian Trails teamed up with the Michigan DOT on this project.
