As the above poster says, "short and quiet" conversations are fine...it isn't the dead silence zone. <br /><br />I would much rather have people keep their dirty feet off of the seats, turn off the ringing and beep-boop noises on their phones and stop space hogging an entire quad during rush hour than worry about a few people saying hi in the morning.<br /><br />It's destined to fail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-13586625719087907722013-07-09T10:57:05.907-04:002013-07-09T10:57:05.907-04:00I was on the Barrie line yesterday and there were ...I was on the Barrie line yesterday and there were a couple of groups that were in the Quiet Zone that did not stop talking for the entire journey, despite the announcement re: the "rules" of the Quiet zone. I don't think I'm going to bother sitting in this Zone when it launches on the Richmond Hill line, because it will bug the hell out of me if people aren't obeying - that's just me. A great idea in theory but too many ignorant passengers for it to ever work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-90739640577073380852013-07-08T18:25:25.324-04:002013-07-08T18:25:25.324-04:00Won't work.
It's only the people that are...Won't work.<br /><br />It's only the people that are courteous to other passengers and follow the rules that will be quiet, it's the ones aren't courteous that are the problem, and they won't follow the rules due to GO's already established lax enforcement.Dan-1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-29403171081634546122013-07-08T10:08:54.434-04:002013-07-08T10:08:54.434-04:00I agree with the concept but at the same time I do...I agree with the concept but at the same time I don't agree with or appreciate the dirty looks if I WHISPER one sentence to my seat mate. And I mean it's a bloody WHISPER. I think I'm going to pull out this quote from now on when I get mad cut eye.. "short but quiet conversation"...<br /><br />I'm sorry but I don't pay close to $300 a month to be shushed or have people shoot me death stares just because I've simply whispered for a brief moment. You want to sleep? Go to bed earlier!! <br /><br />That is to say that I thoroughly enjoy the quiet zone on days where sometimes there used to be a guy that played his guitar or another that sang but couldn't carry a note to save his life. On these days, I'm thankful for the quiet zone.

People still yap on their phones, or with the people in their pod. People don't give a shit. Even when people are called out, they just roll their eyes and keep yapping away.

I would like to see it policed by transit cops but it's gonna fall to us.
