People haven’t managed this long without them! Many blind or partially sighted people just haven’t felt enabled to use public transport independently without such aids.
Anyway, back to repaints.
Fair point actually, it really is sad that public transport hasn't been accessible for some people for so long, and continues to fall short. Individual NSAs would be perfect, so not everyone has to listen to all of the announcements. Honestly, NSAs have been useful to me and I've always understood their importance.
Buses having key destinations on the side helps too. For example I use the X84/X85 to and from Denton Burn, and the old Scania had Denton Burn on the side, but the new buses don't. Accessiblity comes in many forms.
