Please hold on: TfL urged to get a grip over annoying bus warnings
‘Unbearable’ announcement that vehicle is about to move is played after it has already set off
You wait ages for a London bus announcement and then 50 come along at once, according to passengers who have criticised Transport for London over a new and “unbearable” announcement intended to stop people falling over.
The warning, “Please hold on, the bus is about to move”, is supposed to be played moments before the vehicle pulls away from a bus stop, but a technical glitch has meant the warning sounds after the bus has already started moving – much to the frustration of commuters in the capital.
“Please hold on, the bus is about to move”. As the bus is already moving. Every. Time. What were you thinking, @TfL ??
TfL’s new ‘please hold on, the bus is about to move’ after it’s already started to move is the most soul-destroying thing ever. Someone make it stop please.
when I close my eyes to sleep at night, all I’m gonna hear is “please hold on, the bus is about to move”
Please hold on the bus is about to move Please hold on the bus is about to move Please hold on the bus is about to move Please hold on the bus is about to move Please hold on the bus is about to move Please hold on the bus is about to move PLEASE HOLD ON THE BUS IS ABOUT TO MOVE
This trial has to end. These announcements are making bus journeys unbearable. It’s like water torture
