yesterday morning I was sitting in the train. There were people talking about the notify broadcasting voice saying at which station the train will stop next. I noticed for a few months now, in fact everybody who is riding this train knows, that the announcement for the next station is way too early. And the same thing happens in the opposite direction.
I don't know if you've noticed a pattern here, but for that several months I didn't. Apparently my brain stops evaluating any further. And there is no need to think of it any further, so it kind of stops combining facts. If you ask me, I think it's a good idea to stop right there. Otherwise it's maybe causing an overload.
But then the magic begins! I started to talk to these people, while they where laughing about this error and that the company should do something about that. I said that they probably know that the same thing is happening in the opposite direction. They agreed and wondered if it also happens at the following stations. Right there it came to me. From that moment I think I figured out what is going on.
There are obviously two GPS points on the route which triggers the announcements. One for back and one for forth. Presumably they switched those coordinates. The one for forth is meant for back and the one for back is meant for forth. And it would be a good guess that the whole route is switched. If it is switched back, it makes perfectly sense and the announcements are right on time.
The thing is that I was not triggered to think any further. My brains thought they had just about enough information. But when I started to talk and got some feedback, it kind of moved forward across this barrier.
So there you got the magic of talking!
