I'm confused, are you suggesting there are places where bus routes change hundreds of times a day?
I can't imagine many reasons a route would have to change on short notice (accident blocking a road?), and in those situations the announcements not quite being right would not be the end of the world.
- jeromegv 10y agoBuses are often assigned to a route and then leave that route unexpectedly in the middle of the day to service another route (accident, other bus broke down, traffic, subway shutdown etc) , often not starting at the beginning of that route.
- aninhumer 10y agoOh right, that makes more sense. I guess you could just keep a record of all the different routes in every bus though? And skip to the right spot manually as needed.
- walshemj 10y agoThen the bus changes its route number - certainly in the UK I see the drivers punching in the route details when they take over a bus.
