Oh that's very interesting! Then it doesn't bother everyone at night. The
thing is that whatever we recommend should make use of existing technology,
for example the mobile phones most people carry these days. What if the
existing announcements were also played on a phone system of sorts that you
could call and actually hear them? They are already computerized so it
wouldn't take much for a simultaneous audio signal to be made available.
And, I wonder how many other people would take advantage of it for other
reasons besides not being able to see the screens.

In addition the idea of announcing the arrival of a station through an
internal PA system can be a good idea as well. That is what they do in
Shatabhdi.

Subject: [AI] a note about announcements
All:
Regarding the railways draft, there have been several references to
announcements made in train stations. I find these announcements almost
impossible to hear in the station and therefore, the information they
convey
is useless. Mostly, they just add to the noise level. Other ways of
getting
vital information must be available. Is it possible for there to be a
phone
number we can call while in the station to an office in that same
station to
get the same information that is being displayed on various screens or
displays?
