Its a good idea if done in moderation. Unfortunately this rarely

Automatically announcing every stop is regularly done in some other
countries. For example, I know it is done in Heidelberg, Germany, with
no notable increase in lunacy. It's quite useful. Of course, they don't
have the inclination to spice it up with constant "mind the doors this
is a special announcement please do not leave your bags or small
children on the bus when you leave"
