- A new announcement on London buses designed to help passengers has been introduced, but the timing is slightly off. A technical glitch is being blamed for the fact that the warning "please hold on the bus is about to move" plays after it's begun to move. BBC London’s Transport Correspondent Tom Edwards reports.
Why is an announcement even needed? You're on a bus - it is going to move. What's next, hold on the bus is moving?
Masood Shaikh because people milk the system and people try to sue people over nothing
next: The bus is at a traffic light, Remain holding on, The bus has stopped, you may take your hand of the pole.
Unfortunately many silly people use buses and lack common sense , as does most of society
I don’t blame you for thinking thatk but apparently 1000 people die every year because buses accelerate and brake too fast, according to TfL an announcement could stop that, dont know how
When i die and when my family surround my death bed. My final words will be "Please hold on, the bus is about to move."
Please hold on, The hearse is about to move
@@IseyWasTaken nailed it
This announcement should activate when the driver realises the handbrake...
Rahan omsi 2 content and more exactly, when he releases the handbrake or when the bus closes
Michael Anderson it should activate when the driver looks at the right hand mirror
id just hold and release the handbrake every second lol
I don't believe bus drivers activate the handbrake for short, urban bus stops like these though.
not the handbrake, but the stationbrake. otherwise he wouldn't be able to open the doors..
It's a bus. What else would you expect it to do?! Grow wings and take a flight to Mars?!
DrDewott yes
I want to go Mars :(
Are you assuming Ffff Ffffddd is human?
If it went on a flight to mars it would still start moving..
Wings don't make you fly in space lol
Very British problems
yet hardly any were British
No British people get the bus. The bus is for peasant immigrants.
HAHAHA i was wondering why this started playing recently lol
ok
Me too it's actually piss taking when going to college
It’s for visually impaired people
Speaker Sex C&I the one in Angels always late 😣😣😣
tbh id rather fall down the stairs then have that in my ear every 5 seconds
pattrick hurcombe dennell 😂
First world problems.
More like third world.
It's amazing that we're at the point where we're being told to hold on while the bus is moving. I would've thought it was common sense.
In Singapore, it is announced as "please hold on to the grab poles or handgrips when standing on the bus".
Not the main reason I'm hoping to get to Singapore lol
mailerdiablo in Canada. We hear nothing
In New Zealand, we use common sense.
mailerdiablo In SMRT buses, I hate the "Doors are closing" followed by beeps.
It's a bus not a train😔
Imagine if you have like 20 stops
Muhammad Afiq They don't do it every stop though. And lately, I haven't been hearing it as frequently too...
I immediately thought of Geoff Marshall when I saw this video!
Coach Jack Bolton a bus/train geek
I watch geoff
*gets on and doesn't hold on*
*Doors closes*
*bus starts moving*
*falls from the stairs, breaks arm, leg, back*
"Please hold on. thE bUs is aBOUt tO mOVe"
187 At least I tried!
Well it’s your fault for not holding onto the bars....
ikec4937 this was actually funny loool
I'm dead this happened once
I found this funny lool
Everything in England is broken I swear to god lol
dislike for you
danner253 Tell that to someone in Hati or North korea lol
Kacper Frankowski xD
Banksy HATI L M A O XDDD
In the days of bus conductors, it was common the hear them announce, “hold tight please” and then ding, ding.
How about replacing it with a chime instead and link it to when the doors actually close?
It'd make more sense to me if they implemented LED signs that'd flash when the doors closed. That seems like it'd be much less annoying
It's happens to me when I take the bus
*Doors close*
*Bus moves*
5-10 secs later
Please hold on this bus is about to move
Me: OMG ITS ALREADY MOVING!!!!
TFL: OH SORRY WE WILL FIX IT!!
Me: yeah like in 2 months!!
TheMiniGamerYT And Trains or never
TheMiniGamerYT And Trains they literally fixed it yesterday
Nebulix Network yeah
TheMiniGamerYT And Trains Innit!!
7days ago I heard this I couldnt breathe because how stupid the timing is like the bus moves 5 secs later please hold on the bus is about to move
The wheels and the bus go, round and round
In Budapest they say “Please always hold on as the vehicle may need to break suddenly” and its usually just after it stopped suddenly and 10 people fell😂😂
Do we really need to be told this? The names of the stops is handy, but this is just silly - it's like the bus has become our parent, like it's telling us to put our seat belt on
Yan93 Something something nanny state
Love the sweet silence of the buses of Manchester and elsewhere where it's sit down and chill, fend for yourself.
It's true. I've seen it. People are surprised when a bus takes off and they get flung back.
Get rid of it, otherwise it will be an endless amount of complaints...
*NOISE POLLUTION!*
It's very freaking annoying! Just stop with that sh*t you should've done that from the beginning.
First the announcement to where the bus is going and then, the announcement of the bus stop. Why don't singapore buses have this?
They changed it to "Please hold on while the bus is moving."
mjgirl123x now it’s gone completely
It pisses me off because she says “movin’” instead of “moving” it’s cringe to hear
Frozen Xavier shut up blud!
@@frozenxavier819 The thing I didn't like about it was there was some kind of emphasise on the "hold on" it was like "Please _hold_ _on_ while the bus is moving" and it just sounded... Off
How stupid have we become that we need an announcement telling us a bus is about to move
They removed this ting
I'm screaming oh my god
If they are that bloody concerned; all buses I know the drivers has the CCTV monitor veiw of the gangway and decks. *JUST wait for the boarding passengers to sit*
Major Skies yeah there are endless solutions
this is just Health and safety gone mad, I glad the rest of UK cities and towns don't have a Transport for London
CYMetro1985 How exactly for example Manchester is gonna have an Transport for *London*
well its would be Transport for Manchester
CYMetro1985 You didn't get the joke.
Bloody hell, you're on a bus, hold on to something, that sounds like the most pointless warning message ever. Whatever next?!
Am I the only one who has never heard this
I take the bus a lot in Australia, to school and home and I usually stand, I think once a year I get 100 injuries from falling and bumping. We should have more double Decker buses in Australia and some sort of announcement!
once a year 100 injuries?.... what?
Icydsting it just a joke, but today my bus got to pack and the bus driver had to pass several bus stops
Now it is "Please hold on while the bus is moving"
Hold on, I'm typing a reply
People should be aware that they need to hold on
Shouldn't be on the bus anyways . It's really gets on my nerves
Absolutely ridiculous. I am trying to imagine the setting where this decision was taken, most likely a senior management meeting. Because usually, there is someone, somewhere, taking a decision and an action is then put in place. Was there no one else in that meeting to stop them ?
The his is very useful! Sadly my mum fell on a bus and was rushed to hospital as the bus jolted too abruptly. Glad to we they're doing something to reduce the amount of accidents.
Not _quite_ sure why people need to be warned that the bus is about to move. . . that is, after all, what busses are _for. . ._
We don’t even have any warnings here in Melbourne (Australia)
They changed it to hold on the bus is moving or something like that, I heard it yesterday
Useless, you can literally feel and see it when the bus is moving
Has anyone noticed that ever since they have had this announcement on the buses, the drivers are even more harsh while driving on the road??? When they swerve from left to right or stopping and going, im swaying even more than before...
Instead of hiding the problem with announcements, why can’t all bus drivers just accelerate smoothly...?
On the subject of badly timed announcements, why, at Lidl and Aldi, do they announce the opening of a till and ask customers to begin queuing there, and a few minutes later announce that they need somebody to staff it? Surely it would make more sense to announce that the till is available once somebody is already sitting there.
**when bus arrives at terminus**
'Please hold on, the bus is about to move'
we dont even have this announcement in London.
Why not either have a button the bus man presses or an automatic announcement when the doors are closing
*Bus moves*
you've reached your destination.
*Bus falls off a cliff*
PlEaSe HolD oN ThE bUs Is AboUt To MoVe
The bus was terminating at a stop, and this announcement popped up. Nothing was funnier than that.
i couldn't understand not one person they interviewed
In Vietnam, there are announcements only about next stops and controlled by the central building, not by timing (although it used to)
An enormously huge man gets on waddling from side to side. Please hold on the bus is about to move. That's a bit insulting.
PLEASE HOLD ON, THE BUS IS ABOUT TO MOVE.
In Germany we don´t have this extra announcement. I think it´s really unnecessary because when you must stand in a Bus, it´s clear that you must hold on. Otherwise you fall down.
I like all the English people that were interviewed in an English city.
Burns Night Its east London- the most racially diverse area in the U.K. I'm sure if they were in South London or West London the outcome would be very different
Japaneezi east and south-east London.
No matter where you are in London the situation is the same, no one is English.
clearly you haven't been to london then haha
London isn't an English city anymore
I think it should be on a button like when it says "seats are available on the upper deck" because no one wants to hear that every single stop or maybe signs?
Meanwhile half the world is starving and in war....
UK: bUt THiS iS IMpoRtaNt!!!!11!!!1!!
It has changed a bit.. it says please hold on while the bus is moving
hahaha I knew I was meant too do something on this bus... 😂😂😂
It announced before the bus moved when i used the bus today twice and how is it annoying
Yeah we have this in San Francisco. As soon as the driver puts his foot on the accelerator from a stop, it says “Please hold on.”
Where I live we have buses that announce every street and avenue that’s being passed by the bus and it has Siri’s voice lol.
"hold tight asnee"
It's Health and Safety gone mad. . .
"Let's sync the message up to the destination announcements because *buses are never late* .
Don't hear this announcement anymore
What a fantastically interesting, provocative, thought inducing piece of journalism. However will precious London commuters find their way out of this sticky mess?
lol, "John! - all we've got is the piece about people tripping on a bus that moves", "do you want it" ?
Wow thanks for this newsworthy and informitive news clip
Hong Kong buses doesn't have this announcement
I grew up in India and if you know what the buses are like there, they accelerate as you are getting on
When you get on the bus the first thing you should do is sit down or hold on to something.
If they want to carry on cant they re-record the announcement to say “please hold on, the bus is now moving”
This is London, the capital of United Kingdom, does anyone understand what these people are saying?
And of course, it's the BBC.
Suppose it is better than the announcement coming on when it's stuck in gruelling London traffic.
I found this annoying and me and my mum were laughing when the bus was at full speed and it's goes like "please hold on the bus is about to move"
This happens on my buses to school
*spits out tea*
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS NOT LINKED TO THE DOORS CLOSING?!?
_WHY NOT???_
THATS LITERALLY THE FIRST THING WHICH COMES TO MIND.
*_WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS_*
Johnny Hibner this aint reddit pal
TAKE IT AWAY ERNIE! ITS GONNA BE A BUMPY RIDE!
Guangzhou buses (nearly 1 min after the doors got closed):
Be careful THE DOOR IS CLOSING
What country is this bus in?
Why have they got tickets on them and not use cards instead use rough floor to stop slipping
Now it changed to:
*please hold on whilst the bus is moving*
The technical Glitch has been fixed for where I live but now it says that the bus is about to move 5-15 seconds before the bus actually moves
Well at least Toronto doesn't have that
I've heard this on my regular buses and I think they should definitely time it better
1931: in 2018 we are going to have flying cars
2018: the new announcement on buses"the bus is about to move"
Nooooshitttsherlockkk
We kneed this on transperth
Do people really need to be told this. If you get hurt it’s your own fault. Imagine what our grandparents and their parents would think of shite such as this. Pathetic nanny state.
I bet that whoever created this announcement has had *SO* many complaints.
Oh i hate this kind of announcements. In barcelona, some of the new buses say "doors closing" when the doors close and i find it really annoying cause every door says it by itself so normally it's like an echo of 3 "doors closing doors closing losing".
You don't hear "Doors closing, please stand clear" AFTER the train doors have closed
Wow. I'm so surprised that they need to announce that, there's none of that in Vancouver, there's only small sticker signs and the occasional driver saying "Please hold on" if the bus is somewhat full.
Shoutout to Deptford: YAY! GO DEPTFORD!!!
What they should do is make it play when the doors are closing.
It already has been changed now
That's Kafka.
