There are some two-part stop names; if you have suggestions for
renaming of particular stops to avoid confusion in those cases, I'm

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

the next stop."
