These are not school buses. Current stop and next stop is all that's needed. If French is demanded, let a user press a button. Don't subject everyone to the unnecessary aggravation, especially your daily commuters!

Last year while driving to Montreal,not one sign in English to inform us of the tunnel being closed for construction.

More traffic! Less attention on train! Why doesn't GO make bilingual announcements available electronic for those few riders, instead of forcing thousands to listen to what amounts to noise pollution. Total nonsense and will affect riders negatively.
