More to the point, though, I suspect it's a lot more obvious to

help if the person giving you directions knew the name of the bus
stop...

To be fair, the names are on the bus maps.

No, they're not. I think you meant the bus *stops*.

They have 'em on all stops in a mile or so radius on the spider maps!

I was surprised that this wasn't introduced with the new buses. It's
standard almost everywhere else in the world (at least anywhere that
invests in its public transport......)
