Have you personally travelled on a London Bus recently ? Basically they're
now targetted at idiots who instantly forget what bus they got on,
immediately they board and have to be reminded at every stop with
loudspeaker announcements at full volume.

Those are for blind people and tourists.

Why would blind people or tourists for that matter, forget what bus they'd
just got on ?

in the case of the blind person

how did they know which bus they were getting on until the on-bus announcement tells
them?


They ask the driver. Or another person in the queue if there
is one before boarding the bus. As they did before on-board
announcements.

Similarly they tell the driver at which stop they want to get off
This not only allows the driver to call their stop, but also
alerts him to the fact that a blind person will be alighting at
that particular stop and so he needs to allow more time for them
to leave their seat and exit the vehicle. And not to do so until
they've done this.

Simply relying on announcements alone would put the blind person
at a disadvantage where they might be left on the bus in such
circumstances.
