The mention of 45rpm playback in Turkish buses made me remember that when I was a child (which means less than 20 years ago, by the way) I used to be an avid user of a yellow box nicknamed "the record-eater" (well, in Italian of course), which, as the name implies, had a mouth-like opening on the front where you could insert a record, which would immediately start being played, and would be spit out when the side was over.
A very cute and child-proof little machine, which I still have at home together with all the singles it has eaten (probably quite literally since the stylus must never have been changed).
Since it was portable, basically as small as a 7" record and with a handle, it's possible that we occasionally used it in the car too. I suspect that's what Turkish bus drivers did?
