Good question. It used to be ubiquitous on the railways too, but some TOCs
have started using "Exit" on their signage.

To digress a little, some of the Sonias have replaced "alight here for"
with "exit for", which really grates on my ears.

We had a train driver on the Hertford to Moorgate run one morning who
talked of stations as being "Next Up".

i.e. Next up we have Finsbury Park, alight here for.......

It sounded strange at first, but after a while it sounded better than
the usual "The next station is".
