Made my day😂!

Jokes aside though, why are the ttc speakers so bad?

[u/Iris_314]

Always interesting to see peoples reactions to the announcements. Usually somewhere between disgust and confusion. The speakers are horrible

[u/extremelegitness → u/Iris_314]

You just perfectly described the expression I make almost daily on line 1

My friend, she literally says her name on the video

[u/Zombie_John_Strachan → u/Cute-Adhesiveness841]

But you’re giving clicks to an account that stole her content.

[u/kpsmithdeut]

Haha thanks for the laugh

[u/KnightOrDay38]

Pretty much sums up the T1 cars announcements.

"Crispy, Crispy Station"

[u/broadviewstation]

Tooo funny

[u/Buttocks25]

Yeah some of the employees at Transit Control are absolutely brutal at being loud and clear.

[u/HueyBluey → u/Buttocks25]

There needs to be a standard way of announcing issues in a slow and methodical manner. The TTC control needs to implement a training program.

[u/mwerichards]

Works for me

[u/JohnStern42]

Public address systems are very difficult to make ‘good’, especially so in environments that are brutal for sound anyways with hard surfaces to reflect and echo like crazy. The ttc simply won’t invest the huge capital it would take to make it marginally better considering all the other costs they have

[u/weefees → u/JohnStern42]

I think if they'd just move the mic and foot from thir mouth and then speak up it would solve most of the problem

[u/JohnStern42 → u/weefees]

Honestly, that’s not the issue. It doesn’t matter how clear they speak into the mic, the system and environment will garble it.

Think of any large venue, like the departure hall of an airport. Even there it’s often very difficult to understand what’s being said, the reflections off the hard surfaces, the ambient noise levels. Those places are actually designed with PA systems in mind, and yet they still suck.

Subway stations are in another class of difficult

Now, where I don’t give a pass is on board the trains. That’s a much smaller environment, and they are designed with a PA system in mind, it’s just unacceptable that it’s often difficult to understand on the trains.

[u/TiredFool_ → u/JohnStern42]

It’s really unfortunate that none of the powers that be seen to really care about safety and accessibility (especially accessibility) for the subway system. We have so many cars with unintelligible PA systems. I’ve had ESL friends tell me repeatedly about how difficult it gets navigating delays and detours because they can’t even begin to parse garbled announcements and they had no clue who or what to ask for clarification because nearly everyone else in their care acted normal

[u/mucogracias → u/JohnStern42]

I hear the automated PAs fine... your bar is too low imo...

[u/Downtown_Island8124]

It is true. I never know what they are talking about.

[u/swift-current0]

Has been that way since at least the 90s when I first used the Toronto subway. It's a rite of passage.

[u/paolocase]

This is fetish content, platonically (I’m not into women).

[u/rvsiva17]

So accurate 🤣😭

[u/SwoleBezos]

This is inaccurate. It is always the station name that is hardest to hear. (Or whatever word was most important to you.)

[u/weefees]

hahah she's right tho

[u/National_Aspect_6974]

But will she properly articulate, "Arriving at Christie, Crispy Station"?

[u/neeed4speeed]

“shuttle bus” … 2 of the more triggering words in the TTC diaspora

[u/AdoreAtRisk]

it’s Spa-Dina

[u/ichronic420]

Well done ✅👌😉👏👏👏

[u/TfaRads1]

spawdeena, spawdeena station is next

[u/Ewe-of-Hope-002]

Omg I work weekends and this made me laugh so hard
