If you’ve forgotten what the word “avenue” sounds like in the long six weeks since the TTC’s robot announcer began mispronouncing it, fear not — normalcy has returned to Toronto’s bus routes.

“For those following along at home, the offending aveeenooo bus announcements have been fixed!” TTC spokesperson Stuart Green announced via Twitter early Tuesday afternoon.

It all started on June 23, when the transit agency made the mistake of trying something new.

A few customers had complained the robot announcer’s pronunciation — “ah-ven-OO” — sounded too American, Green said, so the TTC decided to make what they hoped would be a minor switch to the more Canadian-sounding “ah-ven-YEW.”

Unfortunately, the new pronunciation became the baffling “ah-VEE-noo.”

“Thinking it would be a rather simple thing to fix, when we set about doing that, it turned out it wasn’t as simple as we thought,” Green said, adding that the new pronunciation drew “far more than” the few complains the original had garnered.

The botched pronunciation also inspired a robust internet response, with reactions ranging from amusement to horror.

The system that announces transit stops is updated every six weeks, so Sunday was the first opportunity to correct the mistake, Green said.

As of now, the previous pronunciation has been restored, although it was not without its fans.

“I already miss seeing people’s confused expressions and listening to there funny comments when they heard AVENEWWWW. Can we bring it back for one more day?” tweeted one user.

The TTC customer service account responded, tweeting: “...the Avenue Pronunciation has gone to the big phonetic spreadsheet farm up north.”

In an interview with the Star, Green said “that in trying to satisfy concerns that we heard about the pronunciation being too American, we created a bigger problem for ourselves around the pronunciation.”

“I don’t see us revisting this anytime soon,” he added.

So the next time you’re on a crowded TTC bus, squished between hordes of other sticky passengers amid service disruptions and traffic jams, rest easy knowing at least one aspect of your commute will go — or, at least, sound — just right.
