It's all about making the buses more accessible, and that's a great thing in my opinion
Agreed!
Putting the destination in might be best after major stops although I suppose less of an issue at major stops like Regent Centre where buses only go to one destination.
I'm not sure the drivers having to listen to them is a major issue, you tend to switch off anyway - I know I sometimes have to specifically listen for one to make sure they're working now as it all becomes background noise.
The trams in Sheffield also have an interesting set up by which each route has next stop announcements in a different voice - the theory behind it being regulars would know if they jump on the wrong tram by the voice being used!
