the noisy public

the public transport is getting noisier and noisier.
following a plethora of irritating and unnecessary announcements at the train stations and the tv ads that threaten to burst your earphones, the buses are doing the same.
today i boarded the new 854 bus and when the front door opens, the bell goes "ding dong" followed by "thank you for travelling with smrt" and just before the back door closes, there is the familiar "doors are closing... dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit"
yes. the buses now have the same warning as the train doors. and it is bloody irritating.
the employees always ALWAYS (i can't stress it enough) think that more function = good. actually they are just trying to show that they are doing work.
PLEASE!!! give commuters some peace...
