For what it's worth.... I have non-polarized Serengeti's and they're too dark for The Bus. I'm looking for a new pair as well.

My raybans I've used for years are too dark.

What brand and model have people had luck with?
Serengeti? Drivers gradient?

I have found nothing that works with the old screens on some buses. The newer ones are sweet-but older ones are impossible. I have tried Serengetis and Ray bans. Had to take the sunglasses off altogether to see the old screens.

I have a pair of Maui Jim's from Costco that work very well on the older busses. They're polarized but the only problem I have is with the clock and I have to turn my head slightly to tune a radio.

That's odd, my RB3025s work just fine, and I've been wearing those since flight school.

Yeah man the old screens are terrible . Almost can't see the screens with no sun glasses !

We've written a few up . At some point it's just to hard to see any type of radar return on some of the olds ones .

Can you report back on this? And are you using them on the older bus's with the CRT screens or the newer LCD screens?
