Default Told you so (was: Route 13 Routemasters)

In the Referenced article, last October, someone wrote:

Surely the only legal alternative is to have a sound system installed
near the front doors of all buses, blaring out the number, destination
and via points for the benefit of the partially-sighted, blind and
illiterate.


And I pleaded:

Too late.

This summer I spent some time in Chicago. I never rode a bus while
I was there, but several times I was walking along the street when
one stopped near me. And *guess what*...!
