[nfbwatlk] FW: Transit Alert – Starting 11/7 there will be more bus stop announcements on-board 20 Metro routes

[Marci Carpenter]

This is a good start. Jacob Struiksma and I, and many others, have been pushing Metro to provide the same information in audio form which sighted people receive through the digital reader board on the bus. I urge everyone who rides these routes to check out the system to see how well it works. Let the drivers know if you like it. I would also like feedback so I can pass this on to Metro.
