More to the point, though, I suspect it's a lot more obvious to
everybody what the name of the bus stop should be. I've no idea what the
offical names for most of the stops I use are, beyond it's often not the
"landmark" I'd have chosen. Automated announcements only help if the
person giving you directions knew the name of the bus stop...


To be fair, the names are on the bus maps. Also, if the names were read
out constantly, people would learn them pretty quickly.
