Minato ku Posted April 14, 2013 Share #2 Posted April 14, 2013 Short announcements like "This is a Brooklyn bound Q express train" are better than long announcements like "This is a Jackson Heights Roosevelt Avenue bound F local train". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Posted April 15, 2013 Share #3 Posted April 15, 2013 Short announcements like "This is a Brooklyn bound Q express train" are better than long announcements like "This is a Jackson Heights Roosevelt Avenue bound F local train". How can you replace the last stop in the last borough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MTA Bus Posted April 15, 2013 Share #4 Posted April 15, 2013 I do not like how the spliced in the M34 SBS on the announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40MntVrn Posted April 15, 2013 Share #5 Posted April 15, 2013 One could hope that these announcements can be updated remotely? Or is a physical "plug-in" required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itmaybeokay Posted April 15, 2013 Share #6 Posted April 15, 2013 One could hope that these announcements can be updated remotely? Or is a physical "plug-in" required? I believe it was mentioned at some prior point here on the board that not only is a physical plug-in required, but it can only be done by the manufacturer. So a kawasaki/alstom/bombardier rep has to come out, board the train, and plug in a laptop? (or was it a floppy disc, I don't even know) to the on board computer to update station names and announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minato ku Posted April 15, 2013 Share #7 Posted April 15, 2013 How can you replace the last stop in the last borough? Well, maybe by reducing the lenght of the station name in announcement, I don't think that the full station should be pronounced when it is composed of four words. Instead of saying "this is a Jackson Heights Roosevelt Avenue bound F local train", announcement could say "this is a Jackson Heights bound F local train", this is enough in my opinion as there is only one Jackson Heights station in the F subway.

Mr Railfan Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted April 16, 2013 I do not like how the spliced in the M34 SBS on the announcements. Yea, they just spliced up the entire announcement and it sounds a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
