Does anyone have any information or insight into when the mooted
audio "next stop" information might be introduced to buses?

Audio announcements are very annoying. One of the selling points of public
transport over cars is that you can study, type or write while travelling.
If they must introduce audio announcements, maybe they could be activated by
a beacon which only the blind and illiterate are able to acquire. Or better
still, the blind could be given GPS units with earphones.
