    I went to college with Charlie. He let me wear his ubiquitous Irish sweater when I was cold and let me have his potato chips as long as I left the crumbs for him. It's been almost 50 years and we're still friends. After all, I taught him some of all he knows!!! Thanks, Charlie!

    Mr Pellet your voice made the subway rides that much more comfortable and also gave me a sort of remembrance of the subways. Thanks you.

    The way how NYC subway conductors play the announcement over the train's speakers is by pressing this red button that says "Door Warning", and when the conductor presses it, the announcement comes out over the train's speakers.

    Since 2018, Velina Mitchell has replaced Charlie Pellet as the new voice for doing PSAs, some transfers, and announcing which stations are ADA-accessible. Pellet remains for his familiar doors closing announcement, and for when a train arrives at the last stop.

    • @mannyislikethat
