Ride This Crazy Train - Adventures and Observations on The GO: Does the Quiet Zone make the train more miserable for those who don't sit in the Quiet Zone?C.J.

On those days they do get a seat, they're quiet.<br /><br />Sour grapes. Don't take your frustrations out on us $300/month commuters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-35231126572712148162013-11-15T08:56:39.981-05:002013-11-15T08:56:39.981-05:00There is no quiet zone anywhere.

Staff no longer announces it, the zone is never enforced and any observation I have had of people asking other people to respect it has led to ugly confrontations in every single case. Right now I can hear two people on my car where I am at the opposite end. Ironically, they are sitting under the quiet zone explanation poster. They have been asked to be quiet twice and have told the people asking to shut up. Give up GO - it is unenforcable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-45170088965384657422013-11-15T06:40:45.876-05:002013-11-15T06:40:45.876-05:00Quiet and loud are subjective terms of reference. ...Quiet and loud are subjective terms of reference.

Mind you, my morning ride in was always quiet and the Quiet Zone is just the icing for when someone decides to break the silence.<br /><br />I tend to not ride in the Quiet Zone in the evening. The few times I did, it was louder than the main floor.Squigglesnoreply@blogger.com
