The phrase "this train terminates here" will be replaced by " Get of the fucking train here, mate, or you will be spending the rest of your fucking drunk arse night in the fucking rail yard"

Doubleplusgood news!

Seriously though, alight and terminates are not hard words to understand - particularly when given context and used in repeated announcements. It doesn't reflect well on our literacy levels if these words are now considered too difficult for the general population.

@ajsadauskas @sydneytrains "This train terminates here" was very frightening for passengers named Sarah or John Connor.

@ajsadauskas @sydneytrains "We asked you to get off the train, not get off on the train."

Please gtfo from the doors, this train is going to yeet.

@ajsadauskas @sydneytrains I suppose this is undebatably more accessible.

But where is the sense of ADVENTURE!? Shame

@ajsadauskas @sydneytrains I was amused but not surprised on a recent trip to the US to hear the announcement on the aeroplane as “de-plane” instead of “disembark” or “alight”. I suppose you have to meet people where they are with language.
