> People have explained to me that the driver announces everything so that standing passengers don't fall over, but I'm skeptical.
That makes sense actually, especially if many passengers are elderly. Around here the bus drivers don't announce what they do, but they take off and brake significantly less abruptly when they have unseated elderly passengers (either looking/reaching for a seat or standing to get out).
