It does seem disgraceful it doesn't already happen everywhere doesn't it. It would help those that can't read very well too.

I've signed. If some buses can have free wifi, all buses can have announcements. If not, give the driver a tannoy!

As someone who faces the possibility of losing his sight, due to complication related to my diabetes, I have signed the petition.

Not only do these kind of announcements, on buses and trains, help those with sight problems - they also help people who are not familiar with the area in which they are travelling :-)

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

and Partially Sighted.

People with sight loss need audio visual announcements on buses so they know where they are and what the next stop is. Imagine how scary it would be yourself if you could not see. Let's do our bit and sign the petition.
