Thank god our school district doesn't have it (yet). When I was a student the bus ride was, on many days, my only opportunity to read a book, listen to music of MY choice on my Walkman (remember those???), or get some last minute studying in before a test. That's hard to do when there's music and obnoxious commercials blaring in your ear against your will. It reminds me of the "Channel One" television program, complete with commercials, that we had to watch in Homeroom every day. I hate this idea of Bus Radio so much I can taste it!
