Public Transport: Automated Announcements


Public Transport > Automated Announcements

One thing I enjoy is when automated announcements on public transport are made with great voices. There are a few things that "great" entails:
1. Good pronunciation that would be understandable to both locals and visitors
2. Good and pleasant voice tone: the tone must vary over the announcement. Monotone announcements are a no-no.
3. Not having excessive announcements: Only things that need to be said are actually said.

Below, I present my collection of recorded announcements on public transport. Some cities have dedicated pages, while others are presented on the summary pages for each region.
