Well the B12 does announce when the hail and ride starts and ends. I agree about the night bus one, however I believe this is changing once the new stopping arrangements come into force and night routes will have the same stopping arrangements as day buses. I thought it was supposed to be the other way round, ie all compulsory stops to be turned into request stops. From what I understand, it's going to be compulsory to get on but request to get off, yep nothing like confuseing people is there

omg! I can imaging a string of 3, 133 and 159 buses slowing down on Brixton Road for one person at the stop, who just happens to be waiting for the 415. LOL

Why Route 135 when i got on and it got turn it off of ibus while bus stopping sign come on when someone press the bell. Is this do with bus driver decide to turn ibus off? what a waste of money that he done! and why he want a 30k per year? He should go back to bus training again and learn the lesson not to turn ibus off! ibus is very useful for everyone and also new people who unfamiler with area. Im very pee off if that ibus turn off for the no reason.!!

Im very pee off if that ibus turn off for the no reason.!! iBus is normally only supposed to be turned off under instruction from the control centre - normally if there is a fault (ie: not announcing the correct stops). If however it becomes a regular occurrence then I'd suggest taking it up with the garage - in this case DX

this is my first real post
i only have a few problems with ibus and they regard how she pronounces places
-greenwich always gets my goat, as i and most the people i know call it grinitch, not grenitch. - on the 401 she pronounces eardley arms wrong, its errdly not eard-ley, one of the houses at my old secondary school (Beths), was name eardley thats how i know -and bedonwell road she pronounces wrong, its bee, not bed, the primary school is testament to this
no doubt there are loads of others, my suggestion would be that Tfl should consult locals on how they pronoune local ladmarks or even get locals to voice it, her voice is a tad misrepresentative of London

Yes I've noticed a number of stops around my local area are pronounced incorrectly as well, often very un-natrually and strange sounding

Couldn't agree with more funny I was talking with a family member yesterday about some of these that she had noticed - funny as they are the same ones you have highlighted. this is my first real post i only have a few problems with ibus and they regard how she pronounces places -greenwich always gets my goat, as i and most the people i know call it grinitch, not grenitch. - on the 401 she pronounces eardley arms wrong, its errdly not eard-ley, one of the houses at my old secondary school (Beths), was name eardley thats how i know -and bedonwell road she pronounces wrong, its bee, not bed, the primary school is testament to this no doubt there are loads of others, my suggestion would be that Tfl should consult locals on how they pronoune local ladmarks or even get locals to voice it, her voice is a tad misrepresentative of London

I think there should be a clock on iBus! The one on the 3 used to be really useful, when set properly, and I do miss it on other routes. It can go on the second line which is blank until someone presses the bell. Just wanted to mention, that I saw a Trident on the N3 on Sunday morning (9745 rings a bell for the fleet number) and it had the ibus screen and it had retained the clock underneath (although the clock was an hour fast )

I think the BUS STOPPING display should flash as it would stand out a bit more from the rest of the ibus display.
