On the other hand, it's much less stressful on a crowded bus where you
can't necessarily see reference points outside if the bus tells you
where the next stop is. This is doubly true in rainy weather where the
windows might be covered in drops or partly steamed up.

I don't find iBus remotely stressful, personally. It's also useful if,
say, you can remember which bus stop you're getting off at but not
necessarily the layout of the route approaching it. You just wait until
the bus announces it, then get off at the next stop. This also works if
someone unfamiliar with your area is coming over, you just tell them the
name of the bus stop to look out for.
