I travelled on about seven buses yesterday and every one had started moving

before the announcement chimed in. Maybe it needs to come before the route/destination
announcement, not after.

Which would mean people who have got on the wrong bus


What wrong bus ? On the very infrequent ocasions I use buses
the bus I use is the only bus on that particular route for around
80% of the distance. And only ever terminate at one destination
at either end.


Try inner London. In the past week alone I have been on 3 buses where
people were either on the wrong bus or in the wrong direction. From
stops with an average of 3 routes with very different destinations.

But I would support the gathering of statistically significant data on
such things to allow a rational decision.
