I can never trust any bus driver to let me know where a particular bus stop
might be. Only last week I happened to ask if the driver could tell me if we
are approaching saint Mary's high school. I'm sorry, he said, I don't live
around here. So no, I think by and large they are a useless bunch with their
heads in Noddyland half the time. Not only do many bus drivers not care to
let you know when to get off, they often fly past a blind guy with a guide
dog because he didn't wave the bus down. I'll be happy when we have a system
like they have in Tennerife wherein you can hit a button on the buss stop to
alert the bus to stop, and the likes of wayfinder for when I want to get
off.

it could let you know your destination if you put the bus stop in as a point
of interest, though if I were you I would still ask the bus driver to tell
you when you get there to be safe. Bus drivers do forget though so having
the GPS could be useful.
I don't know much about wayfinder and how good it is yet though I am hoping
to get a GPS system of some kind soon.

Okay, so today I missed my stop on the bus because my vision is getting so
bad I can't make out the shapes of buildings anymore. Now, I've heard of a
program called wayfinder for mobile phones. Would this help me... Like would
it bleep ... or buzz ... or vibrate ... or speak to inform me that I am
approaching my destination? How does it work, any URL where I can read up on
it. And cost? And phones that it will work with?
