Destination reminders - Provide audio options for alerts
Summary:
From user:
The new stop reminder is a nice idea, but may I suggest a silent notification rather than a voice - or at least the option to choose? Not everyone uses earbuds and it's a bit embarrassing to have that message suddenly blare out when you're on the bus.
My response:
Yes, we clearly need more customization options, as right now some people are saying it's not load enough and for others it's too loud.
Steps to reproduce:
- Tap on arrival time
- Choose "Show trip details"
- Long press on destination stop and select to be reminded
- Travel near the destination stop
Expected behavior:
Give the user the option to control how loud/if an audio alert is played
Observed behavior:
Right now audio alert is always played loudly
Note that currently the destination reminder audio is generated by TTS and not via a traditional notification channel.
