Default Default Bus Announcement?

I've noticed frequently that the bus stop announcements are wrong -
sometimes being out of phase with the journey by a stop or two, other
times referring to a different route entirely! Does the driver have
any control over this, even if it's just to switch off the
announcements? Or do they just not care? As an aid to blind
travellers or those unfamiliar with an area, incorrect information is
worse than no information. The system is a good idea, but it's
clearly not yet reliable enough to be used regularly.
