These GPS sound like the Ananova News.

You gotta love though the way this system 'pronounces' the names sometimes. Barclay Street sounds like broccoli street. And there's a few others. ANy idea as to what software they're using?

I think it's kind of convienent. Hated it at first, but i've grown to like it. Come check out our channel... we did a video called "the top 10 bus pissoffs"

I prefer the voice of Toronto's announcer. This one sounds too...electric.

OMG! It's Crystal from the YRT AAs!

Being legally blind, these automated stop announcements are incredibly helpful. I wish Metro in Seattle would get their shit together and start using them. It'd be MUCH better if they used a real voice as opposed to mechanovoice as well.

Try coming to Boston. The original automated announcements were incredibly helpful, announcing everything that a blind person would need to know - the subways, connecting bus routes, street names, points of interests, etc. But somewhere in 2005, they all got switched to a dull voice with far less information. For example, what used to be "Porter Square - transfer to 83, 96, Red Line and commuter rail" became "Porter Square - bus, subway, and commuter rail connection".

I know, most of the time you can barely hear them but once you hear them, they drive you and the driver nuts

Looks very like the one we have here in Stockholm. Just change "STOP" to "Stannar". ;-)

[Eltamir]

Ah, the electric lady.

York Region Transit/Viva a transit operator in York Region which is just above Toronto have a similar Automated Announcement techology for the Viva buses.

toronto has the same technology but with a different voice announcer.

Seems lacking compared to similar systems in the United States. We mostly use real recorded voices for a more appealing affect.
