Yes and I have seen the exact opposite happy - bell rung twice, in good
time for the stop, and the bus drives straight past and the driver
alleges not hearing the bell.

That's easily solved with a light next to the driver that comes on as
soon as someone rings a bell, saying "STOPPING". All my local buses have
one.

Yes Roland - and guess what? All London buses have warning lights on
their dashboards. The point I was making, clearly very badly, was that
sometimes drivers and passengers make mistakes or act like fools in
amongst all the times that the system works correctly.

Oh well, I was suggesting something to help the allegedly deaf driver,
but if he's allegedly daft instead there's a limit to what lights can
do...
