I can’t believe what my ears are hearing…an understandable door operator on the subway car PA system!

She’s not only understandable, but very professional sounding. It is as if she should be doing professional voiceovers.

Also, she seems to have actual useful information! I know, I am as shocked as you are.

Instead of just saying “there’s another train directly behind this one, so if you can’t fit, please wait” she adds the location of that alleged train. She says the train behind us has just departed the [insert street] station and is headed for this stop. Now that makes sense. The great part is that people actually got off and waited.

How come this logic hasn’t caught on? The MTA Vice President of Meaningless Announcements should be fired, and she should take his job. We would all be better informed.

Live from the subway, back to you in studio…
