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.

but how do they know that they aren't being lied to (deliberately or
otherwise)

They'd know once they'd got on the bus. They'd confirm the route
when they told the driver their stop.

The only reason for asking somebody on the queuse is to save the
blind person the trouble of boarding the wrong bus only to
be told by the driver that they've got on the wrong one.

Your idea that they'd board a succession of buses of different
routes all serving the same stop, and then wait to listen to the
on board announcement before decideing whether they needed to get
off or not is, quite frankly, one of the most ludicrous suggestions
its ever been my pleasuse to read on UseNet.

No I'm not suggesting that at all
