"Doors are closing"

Nov 19, 2013 15:28

Many mass transit systems have some sort of conventional announcement (either pre-recorded or recited by the conductor) that is heard when the doors to a train are closing. What ones have you heard? Here in Chicago, the message used to be, "Watch the doors, doors are closing" but when they switched to pre-recorded announcements it was shortened to "Doors closing".

For languages other than English, please include both the original version and a gloss.

[If anyone wonders why I'm asking, this is tangentially related to a conversation about the relative efficiency of various languages.]
