How do the bus announcements work?
When a bus is on, there's always an announcement (Next stop: …) and it always comes at the same time, so no matter which bus driver or bus, these announcements always come at exactly the same time. How?

Well, there are some options, but usually the announcements are tied to geographic positions as soon as the bus or the train position X is reached, then a script command is triggered which plays the necessary announcement.
So about GPS? Then the bus should have a GPS transmitter, right?
Regular access to GPS can be programmed and the connection to the announcement program is probably also possible. Nowadays so much is technically possible.
Most buses have anyway – because of navigation and location determination.
GPS would be an option
would also provide electrical signals, which you often have in big cities, because the stops are equipped with a network and as well as the bus comes within reach, which then will play bandabsage X.
this is not in the least expensive depending on the system 5-10 minutes for such a change.
Don't think I would be very cumbersome if lines are changed
Actually, the passages are computer-controlled. Then it could be "always at the same time". But in some systems they also have to be manually retrieved by the driver, then the announcements come at different times or the driver forgets – or the system does not work – or the driver cannot operate them properly. – Everything's been happening. 😉
There is no legal requirement here.
Where I always ride the bus driver doesn't push anything
Are you sure? Then the announcements are maybe GPS controlled.
I think it's computer controlled in this case. But not always sometimes there are really funny passages in bus and train.
Computer world…
it has been programmed
Computer, hex hex 😉
