Examples for the automatic announcement system on the next gen BART cars
Here are my example phrases for the automatic announcement system.
"This is a Dublin/Pleasanton-bound four car Blue Line train. Next station (or The Next Stop Is): Powell Street."
"Now approaching Powell Street. Connection is available to MUNI bus lines and MUNI Metro Light Rail Lines. Doors will open on the left side."
"Now approaching Dublin/Pleasanton, the terminal station. This is the last stop on this train. Attention, passengers, please leave the train at this station. We appreciate your patronage and thank you for riding BART."
"This train is terminated. Sorry, no passengers."
"Standing passengers, please do not lean against the doors of the train." (a la Chicago Transit 'L')
"Doors opening. Step back to allow passengers to exit the train. When boarding, please move to the center of the car." (a variation of Randi Miller's phrase for WMATA MetroRail)
"Please watch your step. There is a gap between the station platform and the train."
"For your safety, please stand clear of the doors. The doors are now closing." [insert chime here]
"Please stand clear to allow the doors to close."
"The doors have been obstructed. Please clear the obstruction."
"Eating, drinking, and smoking are prohibited on trains and at stations. Violators subject to citation by BART Police and fine of $250.00 and 48 hours community service, per CA Penal Code Section 640."
"For your safety, CCTV is in operation on this train."
"As passenger courtesy, please reserve the seats near the outside doors for the elderly and persons with disabilities."

"attention bart passengers. (10 second pause) as a courtesy to your fellow bart patrons, (5 second pause) please use headphones when listening to an mp3 player or other portable music device. (7 second pause) the devices included in the category of other portable music devices include but are not limited to the following devices: sony walkmen or other similar devices, (5 second pause) compact disk playing devices and/or any other devices that play music and are portable devices. ghetto blasters are not allowed in the bart system at any time. the number two elevator is closed at walnut creek station. (5 second pause) if you are facing the elevator doors, elevator number two is the elevator to the right. by facing the doors, i mean facing the doors from the outside. if you face the doors from the inside, the broken elevator is the one on the left. unless you are already in the elevator to the left, in which case you already knew it is broken because you are the poor SOB that called in the problem on your cell phone. rescue crews will be at the walnut creek number two elevator shortly. if you are attending tonight's giants game, please be sure to purchase a full fare round trip ticket ahead of time to beat the crowd and make your ride more pleasurable and efficient. (10 second pause) thank you."
