Make TfL turn off the annoying ‘hold on, the bus is about to move’ announcement.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

London buses now make this annoying, automated announcement at every stop. Furthermore, the announcement tends to happen several seconds after the bus has already moved off, making it completely pointless.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. This is the responsibility of TfL, which is accountable to the London Assembly.

The London Assembly has its own petitions process. You can find out more about how to petition the London Assembly here:
