Mind the Gap!

Last weekend we took the metro to go to Noida. I was quite surprised to hear the announcements because they now have dropped the ‘please’ out of ‘mind the gap.’ I clearly remember this was not the case earlier.

It Used to be ‘Please Mind the Gap’

This is a video from a year before and it used to be ‘Please Mind the Gap.’ I sort of liked ‘Please Mind the Gap’ more. Anyone having any clue why the announcements were changed?

    I think it’s courteous to say just ‘Mind the gap,’ because they’re not asking for a favor, but only giving advice that it’s in your best interest.

    Ajeya, it is quite cool in the non-peak hours here.

    Ramesh, I will but you a non-camera mobile! I am sure you are soon going to upgrade your mobile soon.

    Tarun and yet they used to say please for quite sometime!

    Steve, sounds reasonable, what you say.
