I've taken the bus often and the driver always announces when he breaks, accelerates, and takes curves, is this for the same reason? People have explained to me that the driver announces everything so that standing passengers don't fall over, but I'm skeptical.
I think I'd go insane if that was my job. It seems so utterly dehumanizing to have a human do that job every day. I don't mean just the pointing but the standing and doing things that surely computers and cameras could easily do.
This is similar to a yoga in the Hindu religion. I read about this a while back. When performing this yoga, you call out every action silently or quietly. So, for example, when picking up your cup of coffee..."I am going to pick up this coffee", then.."I picked up the coffee". I have to go look this up again.

Yoga in itself is religion. Can be done irrespective of one being Hindu or not

Wow, my reaction is exactly the opposite. Good on the Japanese railways for employing intelligent and responsible adults to care for everyone's safety instead of cheaping out with cameras and computers. These are solid, respectable jobs, and it means there will always be competent people around to help when things go awry.
