I've taken the bus often and the driver always announces when he breaks, accelerates, and takes curves, is this for the same reason?
People have explained to me that the driver announces everything so that standing passengers don't fall over, but I'm skeptical.

That makes sense actually, especially if many passengers are elderly. Around here the bus drivers don't announce what they do, but they take off and brake significantly less abruptly when they have unseated elderly passengers (either looking/reaching for a seat or standing to get out).
- hkmurakami 10y agoYeah that's for passenger safety.
- sidlls 10y agoEvery taken a Muni in SF? I sometimes suspect the operators are intentionally trying to get passengers to fall.
