I'm still here in the Big Apple and miss the way it used to be. I suspect you've been out in the 'burbs too long to appreciate the speakers making announcements on the old red bird cars. Remember this announcement: "Attention passengers..'OKJJ;WEQQHSDSADhjkfgioutrhret! Please do notksjhhfdhgjr, if you want to lsdf jldsffdh!;fd;dshj. Thank you."
Naturally, I'm not going anywhere. Need to see what happens next.

no I don't live in the burbs. I live in nyc. I admit that the subway needs to keep the live announcements with the thick brooklyn accents. The new cars have these appalling pre-recorded voices announcing the stops. they sound like something off a disneyland ride. no accent at all.
