See, that's the kind of information the foreign traveller wants :) Thanks.
Though I have to warn that Google maps results aren't something to be relied
upon, because when I just did the same search myself to verify, I didn't
actually get a single location pointer, rather several scattered points on
the map. A little bit later, I figured you must be talking about this:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=%2B44%C2%B0+48%27+49.73%22,+%2B20%C2%B0+27%27+27.55%22+%2844.813813,+20.457653%29&daddr=%2B44%C2%B0+48%27+36.75%22,+%2B20%C2%B0+27%27+15.87%22+%2844.810207,+20.454407%29&geocode=FfbNqwIdtSg4AQ%3BFd-_qwIdBxw4AQ&mra=ls&dirflg=w&sll=44.811618,20.45503&sspn=0.003775,0.006663&ie=UTF8&ll=44.812166,20.456457&spn=0.00755,0.013325&t=h&z=16
Right?
As an aside, nothing specific to this matter - having to count stations or
track their names along the ride can be a frustrating affair. Foreign people
by and large don't know local pronunciation rules, so even when the vehicle
has a standard announcer spelling out the name of each station, that still
doesn't mean that a distracted traveller will be able to decypher it in
time.
