I'm not so sure it would particularly easy on London bus
routes; there are many stops that wouldn't be easy to name.
Stops at well known places; stations, large shops, pubs
and cinemas for sure, but what about all the
stops in not very memorable places?

Every bus stop has a name written on it.


Even request stops?


They all have names, but many are meaningless, even to locals. Holyrood
Gardens makes some sort of sense. Oak Gardens does not. Oak Gardens is
the name of the stop on Stag Lane nearest to the crossroads at Burnt
Oak. It is a mandatory stop serving 3 routes and shown as such on the
spider maps. Shame people can't all read or speak English, let alone
know some trivial cul-de-sac near a relatively major intersection.
