The program just barely started (June 6) and it takes a while before people are aware. The signage has been improved, announcements are made. Give it a little time before whining.

People will begin learning when uniformed Transit Police start handing out citations, and answering complaints with, "Tell it to the judge."
Unfortunately, the only thing the inconsiderate among us understand is that laws will be enforced, fines will be levied and ridership priveleges will be revoked. Absent that, there won't be any progress in this area.

From what i've heard, Metras new Quiet Cars aren't working as well as passengers hoped. people are still talking on their cell phones and conversing with one another while others try and keep silent. Conductors are beginning to hand out cards to these noise polluters but it still isn't enough. When will people begin learning.
