Looks like Sydney Trains is going to drop the jargon from its PA announcements.

From the SMH:

"Commuters will soon be told to “get off” the train, rather than “alight”, after Sydney Trains resolved to overhaul its station announcements to favour colloquial language.

"The phrase “this train terminates here” is also being retired, due to concerns the word “terminates” is difficult to understand."

The phrase "this train terminates here" will be replaced by " Get of the fucking train here, mate, or you will be spending the rest of your fucking drunk arse night in the fucking rail yard"
