Return of Train & Subway Door Closing Announcements, Beeps, & Chimes

[@beanie0911]

Came from NYT article - Transit is very satisfying, and especially for anyone on the spectrum. For the most part trains are reliable, patterned, and consistent. The bright coloring and musicality are enjoyable. A video of doors kerplunking closed exactly captures that satisfying feeling. Love that it got 2M views even before the NYT linked to it!

[@OltonHall]

It seems the YT algorithm is blocking comments that have a link to the New York Times Article that came out about train and subway announcements because of the link. The full title of the article is "The Hidden Melodies of Subways Around the World When train doors close, these jingles warn riders to stand clear." and you can find it on their website. You can find the link to the article in the Community section of this channel.

Older subway trains in Munich (Type A from the video and also the similar type B) have manual announcements. Also, their doors must be opened manually by the passengers using the door handle.

[@XM.2005]

Luckily Type A is (officially) getting retired by next year, although some employees from Munich’s transport authority told me that Type A might stay a little longer

[@LunaDragofelis]

@@XM.2005 As someone tending towards nostalgia, I'm not that happy to see the type A trains go away. They're iconic and comfortable, and in the past few years, some have gotten digital screens and automated announcements retrofitted. But it's necessary because replacement parts for 50 year old subway trains are hard to get anymore.

[@XM.2005]

​@@LunaDragofelis Actually the retrofit program you mentioned is exactly more or less the reason of why the A Type will stay a while longer. You see, part of the program is the installation of a new fire supression system on the newer B and C1 Trains (which will continue service until sometime in the 2030s) in order to comply with new security guidelines, which will take effect next year. According to the people I talked with, the system is not yet coming along very nicely with the rest of the trains tech. And on top of that, for some reason, replacement parts for B-type are harder to come by these days than for the A-type. So until these issues get resolved properly, the A-Trains will stay in service. Although neither the transit authority nor the personell are particularly happy about that.
