Good Lord, do they tell you the route and destination between every stop?

Currently it's only played after the doors close, which means you
don't hear if the bus doesn't stop. And it's only "141 to London
Bridge" rather than "This is a Northern Line train to High Barnet".
Likewise they only say the name of the stop you're approaching, not
anything else.

Personally I think iBus is a good idea, but could do with some
tweaking. I think it'd be helpful to know roughly where you are, for
one thing. Perhaps the lower line of the dot matrix display could tell
you what area you're in or major road you're on - knowing you're on
Essex Road seems more helpful than knowing you've just passed Cross
Street, which is pretty meaningless if you don't know the area or have
a street map to hand.

Having line maps on the wall so you could see where you are in
relation to major interchanges would be a good start. Though not all
buses are dedicated to one route.
