Transport for London is experimenting with reintroducing the iconic 'ding ding' sound from the classic Routemaster buses as a prompt for passengers to secure themselves before departure. This initiative aims to minimize the risk of slips, trips, and falls, which contribute to 71% of bus-related injuries. The trial began on routes 183 and 94, with teams onboard to collect customer feedback on the effectiveness of the sound. The sound serves both a nostalgic purpose and practical safety measure, especially for older passengers familiar with the sound.
