My guess is that after departing a stop, the bus will announce the next
stop. If the bus passes that announced stop, then it will simply announce
the next stop.

Is it true that there are sensors in the bus stop posts that can tell which
bus passes by?

I think you will find every stop will be announced and displayed as I
believe that part of the project's objectives is to provide additional
info for blind and deaf travellers. If you consider what their
requirements are likely to be then you'll find that every stop will need
to be announced and displayed. This is so that they have a fair chance
of knowing that their stop is coming up even if it is not a major stop
or a compulsory one. Quite how hail and ride sections of route will be
done I do not know!
