A similar approach is being piloted in the UK on certain train lines - on demand media streaming called Volo (http://www.volo.tv/). Its expensive, you have to pay for headphones and their content is mediocre. Train prices have consistently raised from year to year. |

"We've also made it easier to pay. No need to login, simply buy your ticket for £1.75 from the ticket office, by telephone or from the comfort of your seat!"
It says you pay £1.75 for a ticket. So this sounds like a way to get a seat if you're on board a busy train even if you've not booked in advance. Last I looked you paid £1 each way for a seat reservation which makes the marginal cost 75p, cheaper than buying a newspaper.
