SEPTA Broad Street Subway Doors Closing

[R42Vtrain1029]

Wow... the old septa sounds. love it!! Also no propulsion sound like nowadays.

[yabbaguy]

Part of a great fail is the sound of it - and the doors thrusting themselves open again at :04 fits the bill. xD

[cyndie26]

It might have said "Deuren Slaten" (Dutch for Doors Closing). The reason why it might be Dutch is that Pennsylvania used to be part of this region of the United States called "New Netherlands".

[6V92TA]

is it me or does all Eastern US subways have pillars at stations covered with bathroom shower tiles? lol

[TheGetmoney5000]

i ride this train everyday and i 've never heard her say balls closing.not once but twice.

[cyndie26]

What language was that?

[MrHitman0000]

BALLS CLOSING

[WynandPapers]

Dolls closing

Septa sucks, they are the worst when it comes to getting a job. I have put in for jobs with them for over 3 years and not one interview.

I am in town for the holiday weekend and was riding on leading car 514 today from Walnut-Locust to Olney T.C. at around 5:30pm and I heard the BSL's new automated announcement system. The new system includes the same beeps, but now with "Doors are closing." All station stops are updated and sound a bit like the MFL announcements, but are more robotic.

I am guessing that the new voice will take effect over time since I rode earlier today and heard the same 'ole "Daws Closing" voice.

[Amtrak1194]

reminds me of the Parisian Metro!

[natakugoddess05]

why did you record this?

[DeltaPhi79]

Also forgot to say that the trains sound a lot weirder in real life too. XD

[MrWill1985]

Im not fond of the DC Metros announcement systems since it only has a doors opening and closing announcement. My most favorite is the Market Frankford El. "Doors Are Closing". And the worse is the Baltimore Metros announcement system which the destination gets beeped out by the ding dong doors closing signal. And the Baltimore Metros speakers are only inside as the BSS and MFL have exterior speakers. So you can even hear the train announcements across the platform.

[TrainSounds]

Was it Northbound or Southbound.

@TrainSounds Southbound Express Line

[bdub215]

Daws closing! lol

[rwboa22]

Ugh! I ride the BSS from time to time and I hate that voice (it too Indian sounding). I prefer the the old "ding-ding," or with the new NYC Subway cars, the "Stand clear of the closing doors please!" voice, or if need to be, the "Watch the Tram Car" voice at Wildwood.

[AshburnStadium]

I agree with you - I prefer the old "ding-ding".

Indian-sounding? I thought the new "Daws closing" voice sounded more like an Asian attempt at Ebonics! ;-)

For a much-better automated voice experience, I highly suggest the WMATA Metro trains in Washington, DC.

They have a beautiful subway system - they also have dim lights at the edge of each platform that start flashing brighter as a train approaches the station.

[SROSELLI]

i hear that everyday coming home from school

[MrWill1985]

This video it does sound like it says Balls Closing. From a couple other videos and from riding the Broad St line it does sound like Das closing. Not all trains have that. I rode one on that line the doors closing had no voice and the driver announced the stops over the PA.

@MrWill1985 Broken Or Non Existance of a AMDT Box In Drivers Cab

[RedShadow1917]

"Balls Closing"

LOL!

[DeltaPhi79]

Actually more of "Dolls Closing!" when you're on the train itself.

[leahkay12]

ppl need to excuse our ghetto trains

[dan64456]

Yea, our broad street line even comes equipped with mental patients with hammers that will attack you randomly...

[MrWill1985]

Apparently that was a ramdon incident. Luckily no one was killed. It happened at 12:15am. Which is a time many are not riding a Subway. Thats a time people are sleeping getting ready for the next morning. But the system is still relatively safe. I felt safe riding it each time I visit Philly.

[vze428s7]

on side they look like the da orange version of the old el train cars recently replace

[ReadyAtDawn]

wow, these trains are shit compared to hong kong mtr

[AshburnStadium]

Remember, these are 1981 Kawasaki cars!

[metsfan4life31]

nigel DAWES closin

[peter2simon2112]

u have no idea how much of an inside joke this is to my friend and i now

[KeKe802]

I THOUGHT IT SAID DAS INSTED OF DOORS!

[MrWill1985]

For some reason this particular video it sounds as Balls Closing. Other videos on Youtube as well as my experiences riding its Daws closing. So basically it is Daws closing. Not Balls Closing.

[hellofyodor]

whoooo, 263

[striz860rider]

i herad dat shit every day coming home from work and laughed my ass off

[adelgado75]

How many miles is SEPTA transit underground?

[Jayayess1190]

I would like to know too. Including the three subways (Septa and Patco), trolley lines, and suburban trains.

[TheTransitMan123]

When I first heard this "Balls CLosing", I said WTF? I like that. I would definitely visit Philadelphia just for that reason.

[cowboyzsuk81]
