Most of the busses that I ride have no stop announcements. The driver doesn't say anything, the electronic announcer is turned off, and the ticker sign is turned off.
Sometimes, just the electronic announcer is turned off but the ticker sign is still turned on, which is fine is the bus is not too crowded and you can see it.

You should get the bus number and the route number and call the MBTA with a complaint.

Speaking of bus stop announcements, on my bus on the way home from work today, there was an announcement that went like this..."Ding- dong, ding-dong, ding-dong...Please remove newspapers and personal belongings before departing to keep the bus clean!'
I may be a bit off on the exact wording, but I'm 100% positive about the "bells" sounding throughout the bus. When I first heard it, I thought it was someones loud cell phone ringing. The message itself was repeated twice.
Has anyone else heard this new message brought to you by the T? ;-)

No, but twice this week on the Green Line I heard the conductors announce what I assume is intended to be something like "Copley, bus connections upstairs", or "Arlington, bus connections upstairs", instead of the normal, pre-recorded announcement.
Of course, what I actually heard was "Colebuconecnups" and "Aaaalbuconecnups".

No, it's the green line - there is no third rail... -- Jay Levitt | Boston, MA | My character doesn't like it when they Faster: jay at jay dot fm | cry or shout or hit. http://www.jay.fm | - Kristoffer

Usually, they just say 'bus connections". And when they don't key the microphone right away, all you hear is "connections".
