If someone ends up falling down the stairs and they did not listen to the announcement which explicitly states "Please remain seated until the bus has stopped", couldn't it be argued that it's the customer's fault for still insisting to descend down the stairs while the bus is in motion? As you quite rightly point out, most customers (myself included) ignore the announcement.
Yes exactly, and you just know that if they were removed, someone would fall and claim that it's because they're no longer reminded by audible announcements.
I'm all for them, despite how funny the domino effect can be.
