Default Plug sockets on buses

I've just travelled on a bus route between Dartford and

Gravesend run by Fastrack on the way out and Arriva Kent
on the return and at the end of every pair of seats
a plug socket was set into the side of the bus.
Switched sockets on Fastrack and plain sockets on
Arriva each with a small sticker - caution 240v supply.
Nobody appeared to be taking advantage of this facility
boiling kettles, making toast etc. Is this just for
charging phones ? The journey time on Arriva is about
31 mins.

Should I just get out more ?



Only on the right kind of bus.

Charging points – when we’re all so reliant on technology there’s nothing
worse than having a flat battery, so now you can charge your smartphone,
laptop or tablet on the bus at the handy seat-side sockets – but please don’t
try plugging in gadgets like your hair straighteners because they won’t
work!
