  IMHO they should tune down the sound of the announcements. And instead of "Ding Dong, doors closing... Tee tee tee tee tee tee", I think they should just do "Ding Dong, doors closing, doors closing"

   

  I think the "Tee tee tee tee tee tee" sound is particularly annoying.

  The Tee tee tee tee tee tee reminds you like as if you're in the MRT. LoL.

  Try calling up someone, ask them to guess where are you, when the door is about to close. LoL.

  That "tee tee tee tee tee" thingy is prolly the most annoying thing about the announcements that SMRT Buses has on the OCs...

   

  I personally dun mind the announcements, but that Tee tee tee tee thing is just too much. Some more that happens every time the door closes leh... Annoying...

  Yup. At least that one has a variance in pitch. More "pleasant" sounding.

  There was once i took an OC, it kept playing 4 annoucements.

  1) Doors closing

  2) Move in to the rear

  3) Hold on to grabpoles/hand grips

  4) Thank you for travelling...

  All in one shot. LoL.

  So I heard alot of, *Ting Tong*... :D

  Sometimes the announcements on the OC produced this common thing which i call it 'overlap of announcements'. Eg, u will hear like this:

  'Ding Dong,' Thank You for travelling wit... 'Ding Dong', Please hold on to the grabpoles or handgrips while standing in the buzzzz...'

  Common for me to hear that, but now i rarely hear announcements on OCs already..

  I hope the second batch of OCs for SMRT Buses will have some amendment in the way of the announcements.

  Park near? They are inside. They are yet to be handed over to their respective operators for further arrangements.

  Dunnoe about that... But I feel the continous announcements are very irritating especially the doors closing one.

  Boarded SMB31X today.

  Door closing announcements make me think i am on the MRT.

  They are a bit irritating though, as the announcement is always played when doors are closing.

  
  Which service u took SMB31X on?? Service 811??

  Only 2 perm OC500LEs on its entire whole 854 fleet. Hopefully service 854 will get more OC500LEs and get its WAB status when the 2nd batch of OC500LEs arrive.

  Same for service 67 too which have OC500LEs but no WAB status.
