Expecting the driver to make announcements and drive/take fares and
inspect tickets is considered unfeasable, but expecting a computer to
do ain't. Which is why such a project is in the pipeline - the iBus
project.

See: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/buses/ini-ibus.asp


Which is a shame. The Las Vegas Double Decker 'Deuce' buses have jovial
announcements from the drivers at all stops despite being incredible
congested and full. Incidentally these buses are made in the UK but
offer a much superior comfort and equipmet level than anything from TFL.
