I thought that an additional car can be inserted into the trainset to make them longer. Haven't seen the specs of how long the insert car will be.

Anything to improve accessibility has my supportThe TRs are about to get even more chatty.

You missed the text after that saying "as well as to supply the materials required to subsequently retrofit all T1, TR, and SRT trains".$11 million to change the recording on one train as a test?
Is this not a simple case of uploading a new .MP3 or .WAV file and adding a software trigger? What am I missing here?
Exactly...that's quite puzzling. Most subway stations have announcements from the platform. "Such and such train now boarding, Platform 3." Talking vehicles are useful on streetcars or buses when they're in lots of varied outdoor locations.Argh, alright. So about $11k a car and there's hardware involved. Thanks - didn't understand that. Too bad they can't just use existing speakers in the station and have a station-mounted recording be triggered by the approaching train. Simple simple.

I wish the train PAs could somehow buffer Transit Control announcements.
