Randi Miller, the new voice of the Metro, was heard for the first time Thursday in several newly recorded announcements intended to keep riders moving through the system, NBC4 reported Thursday.
Miller, a Virginia resident, won a contest last month crowning her the new voice of the Metro.
Metro Interim Manager Dan Tangherlini said the new announcements include chimes to get rider's attention.
Riders' reaction varied: some said the new voice is louder and easier to hear and others said it will make no difference.
The previous recordings were about 15 years old.
