Departure Procedure and Sounds

Official language in Kazan is Tartar but the automated male voice is in Russian only: "Ostorozhno, dveri zakryvayutsya, sleduyushchaya stantsiya ..." (Attention, doors closing, next station is ...) and "Stantsiya ..., konechnaya, prosiba osvobodit? vagony i ne zabyvat? veshchi" ("... station -- terminal station, please leave the train and don't forget your belongings"). In case Tartar announcements would be added someday, they will probably be in a female voice before the Russian ones (as in the trams).
