Perhaps one of the reasons for hail and ride sections is that the latest

Are you absolutely sure of that? Next bus indicators are not
available in most locations outside London, for instance, and shelters
are pointless if it's an away-from-town stop where few people board.

No, not sure at all - just a scatter gun attempt at cynicism really...
