“And, tell me how mny 

•             blind 

•             Te Reo-only speakers 

•             etc 

people use the service who actually derive any benefit from these announcments.  Even better, do a proper study - you personally take that bus every day over 6 months; during which time you will hear 

NEXT STOP A WHAEA KINEA etc etc 

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TIMES, every few seconds; and for those 10,000 + times you hear the announcement, tell me exactyly how many 

•             blind 

•             Te Reo-only speaking 

•             and otherwise differently abled people actually rely on the announcement. 

From that, draw up a cost-benefit analysis and forward it to me. 

I will look forward to the results of the study.”
