I wouldn't mind if the announcements only come on a certain main stops like the hospital etc... etc...
To be honest, as a driver, after a while you tend to 'zone out' and you don't even realise the announcements are playing. Once you've done the route that many times it just becomes background noise. I find myself having to concentrate on them to make sure they are working now.
