Really? Either it's a location 'Piccadilly Circus' or its a place type 'Airport' - any of those can easily be learnt by the driver. Or writen on a printed sheet that they can easily see. Don't jump to making it more complex than it needs to be.

I see you have never tried it in practice. Train conductors in Austria/Czechia/Germany – which tend to be more trained and less busy than bus drivers – tend to stumble around for half a minute for each unintelligibly badly pronounced sentence. Even the pre-recorded messages in buses are of so bad quality that tourists prefer asking other passengers rather than trying to figure them out.
