Celebrity Voices
So Moscow thinks it's the first city to use celebrity voices to make subway announcements. Telling New Yorkers on the new subway cars to step in and stand clear of the closing doors is none other than Charlie Pellet of WBBR-AM 1130, aka Bloomberg Radio. Strangely enough, the trains had Charlie's voice before his boss became Mayor. I'll grant that he's not of the caliber of NYC taxicab announcers (Joan Rivers, Elmo), but I think he would count as the first recognizable-from-somewhere voice on the subway.

new rule: if i haven't heard of the person, he/she is not a "celebrity."
And in Israel, the voice who announces the next station on the train is the one who also does the majority of voice-overs on the country's most popular radio station (Galgalatz). I have no idea what his name is, however.
