New SMRT in-train annoucements

I have heard the modified announcements too, aboard 051/052, southbound.

E.g.:

By the way the "Please mind the platform gap" intonation has changed.

The new announcement has been improved a bit. SMRT has re-recorded the new announcement. Prominent changes are in Jurong East MRT announcement and Clementi. The Doors Closing chime is also changed a bit. The Siren Chime sounds being shortened a bit and followed by Doors Are Closing immediately (No more short intervals between two).

In the first place, they should not have wasted their time and money to even start having new annoucements. Did the "re-recorded" new annoucement use the same irritating voice?

It is so confusing to point Passengers to Platform D for transferring to EWL service to Pasir Ris, especially the tourists. There is no big and obvious sign in the station that state what platform D really is. I still prefer the old announcement which is clear and straightforward. I really don't know what the fck is in SMRT's mind.

At Jurong East, it says " Jurong East Interchange. This train terminates at this station. Passengers travelling towards City Hall and Pasir Ris, please transfer at platform A on the left. Passengers travelling towards Boon Lay, Please transfer at platform B on the right.". Annoucing to alight at the left or right is enough. Most of us will not bother weather its called Platform A or B.

Guess the modified ones have eliminated some of the really bad ones, like "OORRRchard" and "NoVVVEEEna", but somehow I have the feeling now that there are two announcers!

I heard the modified "Please mind the platform gap" and I think its the same annoucer.

The modified announcement still sounds bad. The new Jurong East Interchange Announcement, sounds so wordy and mouthful, "Passengers who are continuing their journey to .....", -_-!!!! The new "Going to Johor Bahru" announcement sounds worse after being modified.

The money they that have spent on the new annoucements could be spent on mantaining their trains properly. After all, the new annoucer's voice is too high pitched and not sutiable for in train annoucements no matter what they do.

How much money do you think they spend on reformatting the announcements? Compare that with $142.7 million on refurbishment.

Not to forget, SMRT Corp had a huge turnover in profits last year.

Anyway, reformatting the announcements is unnecessary because the old ones are still working fine. So they can take the whatever cash they have and invest it on refurbishment instead.
