New York City buses operated by the MTA have used automated stop announcements for years to improve accessibility and keep passengers moving toward the rear exit. The stop requested message is triggered onboard and is heard thousands of times a day across the five boroughs, making it one of the most recognizable everyday sounds of the city. Clips of the chime and voice began circulating on soundboards and in travel videos because the phrasing is so specific to New York transit, and creators now reuse it far outside an actual bus.

Automated MTA bus announcement that chimes and says stop requested please exit through the rear door, a familiar New York City transit sound effect.
This is the short automated announcement heard inside New York City MTA buses when a passenger pulls the cord or presses the strip to request the next stop. A soft electronic chime sounds first, followed by a clear recorded voice stating that a stop has been requested and reminding riders to exit through the rear door. The tone is calm, polite and instantly familiar to anyone who has ridden public transit in the city. At just over two seconds it works as a clean, realistic transit cue that immediately places a scene on a crowded city bus.
