you can clearly tell they cut out the V and replaced it with the M. they did the same shit with the B announcements too. plus I know what the MTA is thinking when they do that... They don't give two shits about how bad their announcements sound, they only care about them saying the correct and accurate information so the customers know what they need to know.
