ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

I've been wondering the same thing since the system was first approved. It's one of my favourite things about systems; the noises and sounds just as much as the visuals. I always hoped for this, which exists on my favourite Bombardier product, but as DHLawrence mentions below...

...we will likely get this.

Still, for a multi-million dollar order, you'd think they could throw in half a day for someone to sit down and program something a little more unique. I reached out to Bombardier and The Region about this a little while back. I asked the same thing on UrbanToronto a while back, which they didn't much appreciate.

Other cities have also held contests for being the voice of automated stop announcements. I love stuff like this so much and really hope they'll consider doing it here.
