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.”
