[@Sean-D78]

Joseph Hardman I’ve heard it multiple times on the 140. Most of the time it’s crowded.

[@JAMasterpiece42]

[@alfiemoynesrobloxgaming3144]

2:19 my casual commute to school and back from school, all I hear is: 'Please move down inside the bus.' 'Seats are available on the upper deck.' 'No standing on the upper deck or stairs please.' I MEAN, GORDON BENNET!

[@lukasDE]

YH i hear that all the time

[@295route]

A lot of those messages have been removed, some not long after installation. Apparently drivers are encouraged to make live broadcasts instead

[@disusedchannel4852]

0:28 my fav

[@theunknown2470]

2:20 that's what I hear every day

[@fahmaabbas9716]

why im i watching this?

[@hasim9531]

idk

[@georgedowns4034]

Idk- why are you your watching this?

[@WestLondonTransit]

I mean you clicked on the video so why else???

[@mudkipdan]

@2:18 - Fun announcement when you are on a crowded bus on lower duck, in rush hour. :P

[@londonbuses126]

0:31 or ‘the driver has been instructed to wait at this bus stop for a short time to help even out the service’😂

[@tahmedurrahman666]

The most annoying announcement 😡😂

[@JaguarProJoe]

Mmm I am BUS 😂

[@Ron_TTE]

Thats the most soothing announcement

[@ccityplanner1217]

Sometimes, iBus makes pronunciation mistakes, so I think it must be a text-to-speech based system.

[@pyxlwuff]

They got a real person to do the announcements

[@gpfansracing7236]

James Emma Hignett

[@tiffanyaa]

It's a voice-sliced system. There's essentially a massive number of pre-recorded clips that are strung together to make sentences. TTS systems work in a somewhat similar way but use syllables.

[@mandemt1076]

It’s a real person

[@ccityplanner1217]

I think I've sussed it: it's recordings, but when they need a new one they can get from splicing together parts of existing recordings they do that rather than asking Emma to make a new one.

[@rainboyproductions12]

2:18 my favourite one

[@Ron_TTE]

2:27 Stand Clear 0:28 Stopping 1:35 Only enter 0:39 CCTV 2:30 Take litter

[@JeevanBall]

[@mahammad]

Frenzie 2 why? They didn’t stop any

[@JaguarProJoe]

I get some but there are many that aren’t used on the ibus system

[@dennisau7208]

RouteW12, May I have the permission to use this on the London B9TL OMSI bus I'm making? AD156

[@TrainPlayz566]

Yay I’m your 700th subscriber

[@robloxtransportsimulation3416]

Where did you get these from

[@NetaballLover2912]

great

[@JazzyJ96771]

2:51 & 3:22 are the worst announcement you can hear, especially on your way to work or going back home.

[@malachit3741]

[@BrightonBicycleDroid]

Do you know what it was called? :o

[@user-wg8ht8lu4f]

Hey, how do you get the font, mate. C:

[@iBusLondon]

Hi, searched for it on Google. I'm not sure what the name of the font i used in this video is called as I don't use it anymore. The current font i use is called Synchro LET, but it writes only in uppercase

[@juliesmith5567]

That's the good video I like all I like to hear and read and more to say on bus please if poss

[@Ron_TTE]

[@JScars09]

Is there an app for ibus so i can do them?

[@busexpert1334]

Great vid whats the app called

[@Westlondontransportguy7045]

3:42 when the bus stop is closed they should say that instead of the bus stop name

[@thomasfluskey5922]

02:22 never heard that before also at 0:13 you never get that announcement anymore.

[@BrightonBicycleDroid]

Hey, how did you get the iBus font? :)

[@neoart_0576]

yes

[@adamg6331]

It used to be on Office

[@jakeplays623]

website?

[@trackthesiaandsongrail6889]

Is there a 'this bus will be heading out of service'?

[@iBusLondon]

Not really. If a bus is curtailed a lot of drivers just play ‘this bus terminates here’ or ‘the destination of this bus has changed...’

[@enieffiok]

Text Font called Dot Matrix

[@emmapaignton4765]

Been on two buses that have changed destination

[@quit-this-acc-and-gone]

1:31 to 1:34 Heard this on 57

[@teenytv5194]

Would someone get a copyright strike or sued for using this in a video or a song?

[@iBusLondon]

They should've left the music and litter announcements now every bus is full of rubbish and kids blasting their music

[@ronlentjes2739]

I always hated Sydney buses that had those annoying announcements such as "Stand Clear, Doors Opening" and "Stand Clear, Doors Closing". It continues to repeat over and over and over. Adding stress continuously. This is pure form of torture which can lead to outbursts like "F Off" (speakers). Now they have added this to some smaller town buses. For 100s of years we never needed such nonsense. You can't even have decent conversation between this constant harrassment! I loved it when moving away from Sydney annoying announcements it was so peaceful. But now they have corrupted small towns too. Many people with disabilities also cannot handle such overstimulation. It is not healthy for the public and will lead to major stress and outbursts. It is like torture. Like military style torture. You have to understand human factors in this case. So now all the special needs kids will be tortured by this. Especially sensitive kids including autistic people. And even annoys standard people. You keep poking and proding people with annoying messages over and over and the stress level reaches breaking point. Your buses are now stress inducing wheels of torture. I am very aware of how this works and I will go back to taxis if this continues. But some people can't afford taxis and so they will continue to be stressed by this with no recourse. I advocate for peace. Do you care about your children and your fellow citizen in general? Well I do. I hope you feel the same. ** Please add your complaint to your transit complaint site if you care about the welfare of your children, seniors, and the general public. **

[@iBusLondon]

It's all about balance. Not to many to over stimulate but also not too few that people are left misinformed.

[@v31.48]

That’s not really true actually. For example the stop announcements, I have ridden my local bus route so much that I don’t hear them anymore. Sometimes I don’t even notice it when they’re not working. You’ll get used to it.
