bus stop announcements
Christopher C. Stacy
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".

Elocution is not in the union contract.

No, it's the green line - there is no third rail...

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