Which of these four voices do you want to hear on public transport? Prague has launched a survey
People can vote only once for one of the four votes selected by the expert committee for the final. The vote will end on 19 June.
“Ladies and gentlemen are equally represented in them by two votes. You will probably find them familiar, you have heard them in dubbing or in theatrical performances. However, we will only reveal their identity after the survey, so that the names do not affect your decision, “said the carrier.
In traffic, passengers competing can already hear voices on selected lines of tram line 9 and bus line 136. “Each voice is recorded in one tram and one bus, while these vehicles are marked with a special external and internal field notifying the survey, including QR code, after which the passenger will be taken directly to the online survey, “the server pointed out Greetings.
There are over ten thousand stops in the Prague integrated transport network, ie in the capital and the surrounding Central Bohemian regions. The recordings of the stops must be continuously updated, the report is generated gradually as needed.
Eighty-eight-year-old radio announcer Dagmar Hazdrová has been the voice of Prague’s trams and buses for the past almost 30 years. Passengers could hear her voice in other cities as well. However, she decided to stop recording some time ago, so the transport company began looking for a replacement.
In March this year, Hazdrová became an honorary citizen of Prague. He received the award for extraordinary deeds during the August invasion of Soviet troops in 1968, when he truthfully reported on the dramatic events of the time on Czechoslovak Radio.
The Railway Administration is also preparing to change the report at domestic stations. The four different systems used are to be replaced by a single synthetic voice in the future.
