New Countdown Clock Announcement on Lex Av

I was just at 125th Street waiting for a (6) train and noticed the male announcement voice was different when announcing when the next train will arrive.

 

Instead of: "The next uptown express <6> train to Pelham Bay Park will arrive in 2 minutes."

It was saying: "There is an uptown express <6> train to Pelham Bay Park 2 minutes away."

 

I thought I was hearing things or it was malfunctioning at first because of all the train noise, but when I finally heard it clearly I was like okay, it is different!

 

It's a little confusing, because I'm so use to hearing "There is a..." and thinking a train is actually arriving, but now it says "There is..." for everything, instead of "The next..."

 

I don't know how I feel about it yet.
