The announcements match the name of the stop as displayed on the flag.

Yes, I know. Some need renaming.

and get rid of the ones telling you what route you're on and where it's
going entirely. You already know that before you get on the bus.
True. What I would do is add an external speaker to announce the route
umber and destination to passengers waiting to board. That would help
blind passengers, and possibly others. OTOH, it might **** off
residents...

The number of residents it would **** off would far outnumber the number
of blind people in the entire country, never mind the fraction of them
who would use the bus. In this case, I'm inclined to say "**** the
blind".

Remember, there are very very few blind people. Activists for partially
sighted advocacy groups seem to like to confuse the issue, but people
with quite severe visual problems can read the really big day-glo signs
on buses without significant difficulty.
