Do You Know these Announcements/Chimes of the Metro Systems Across the World? (Test your knowledge!)

- Either a chime or announcement will play over a black screen: you get to hear the announcement or chime twice before the answer is revealed on which subway/metro system that is from! Do you know which system it is? How many correct did you get out of 25?
What did you think of the quiz? Did you do well?

I'm actually pleased at myself. Osaka, NYC, Chicago, Toronto, Prague, Almaty, Hong Kong, Baltimore, London, Vancouver, Montreal and Santiago. The one that really got me was Budapest; you'd think Id recognize it with family and all being from there. NOPE. I got the continent right though... guess that means I gotta make a visit.
Something went wrong with the one in Prague, lol. It has the chime of line B, but then the voice of line C!
1. Boston (Next Station announcement)
2. Osaka (Next station announcement)
3. New York City (Doors closing announcement)
4. Chicago (station one)
5. Budapest (newer trains' doors closing chime, it replaced the "Kerem Vigyazzanak..." one)
6. Toronto (Next station announcement, it is one of rare examples (which announcer repeats the name of station))
7. Amsterdam (station announcement)
8. Yerevan (chime, I don't know what it marks, maybe arrival of train).
9. Prague (Czech version of NYC one)
10. PATH (doors closing announcement, it says: "Stand clear of the closing doors [ding-dong]".
11. Guadalajara (from one of your newest YT videos)
12. Dubai (Train destination announcement)
13. Almaty ("Now arriving at..." one)
14. Hong Kong ("Next Station" one)
15. Medellin ("Destination" one)
16. Baltimore (Doors closing chime)
17. Bangkok (Station and "Please be aware of the gap" announcements)
18. London (You forgot the "Mind the gap" one)
19. Milan (Announcement in station)
20. Vancouver ("Destination" one, you forgot "Next station")
21. Paris (Announcement in station)
22. Moscow (sound before arrival of the train)
23. Montreal (Doors closing chime)
24. Busan (I don't know, but it is on-board one)
25. Santiago (Next Interchange Station announcement, because they do not announce all station announcements except interchange and terminus ones).
Shut up
This was not a tough quiz.... this was a FUN quiz! Some announcements I knew right away from visiting the cities in person or seeing other videos where the trains were in action. I think there was one you missed, DC Metrorail. You did catch its nearest neighbor, Baltimore Metro with its two-tone door closing warning. Beginning with the R-142 trains in New York, that's where you have the recorded voices of what is the next station, transfer points along with "Stand clear of the closing doors, please." In case of detours or train delays, the human conductor makes the announcements. With the recent retirement of the R-32's from 1964, the R-44, R-46, R-62's and R-68 are the only trains without recorded voices making announcements. They'll still have the human touch until their retirement day comes. Thanks for the video. It was a fun travelogue, and I hope to see these systems in person, especially when the pandemic is finally over!
I got Boston. NYC. Newark NJ/PATH. Baltimore. London. Failed the rest
Thank you Tim for the challenge👍👍😄😄
Come on, you have a clip of Vancouver but didn't even include the actual door chime? It's iconic!
This is gonna be too easy I know it will be...
Amsterdam in the thumbnail!
That's weird one. Moscow is the only one where you included the warning chime, while all others are in-train announcements...
2:57 reminds me of two from the metro train Rusich
I identified Bangkok 😊 I never went to Thailand but the sound of the name of the station was obviously Thai.
I guessed most of them
Toronto was too easy as I live there
Do a part 2 of this video with Spanish cities
Only ones I got were New York and Montreal. Montreal metro door tones are in honor of the Jeumont motor current choppers that play the first notes of Fanfare for the Common Man.
One metro with NO door tones, chimes, bells or anything: SEPTA'S Market Frankford line. Just recorded verbal announcements.
Any speculate on the WORST door tones, chimes, bells or gongs? Or announcements? I nominate a metro whose verbal announcements are by the same guy who did New York subway announcements "stand clear of the closing doors" but whose announcements on this train may as well sink his career. Its actual door bells were saved and repurposed when the cars were refurbished.

Chicago and NYC were the easy ones for me...and I was able to guess Moscow and London. The rest? Half the time I wasn't even on the right continent.
Paris, RATP.
Montréal, STM ;)
Im from georgia so make tbilisi metro next
I can name that city’s subway system in…. Three…. chimes! If it sounds like a doorbell you had in the 50’s, it’s the MBTA Blue line.
If it sounds like the lady from Maine that does the airport voices, you’re probably on the NY MTA.
Where is Sydney Metro?
I only knew nyc
I got 9 😐
Only nyc😅
Mind the gap please
A play on 'not falling into gap' announcement? In Poland, PKP uses this one, using the words: "Prosimy zachować ostrożność i nie zbliżać się do krawędzi peronu" (literally: Please be careful and do not go to the platform edge, on announcements: Please stand away from the platform edge), in both cases, they doesn't use the word "gap" (polish: luka or dziura").
No that's the London Underground Announcement
2:43 Amsterdam
3:51 Prague
4:58 Dubai
