Metro-North Railroad may confine blabbing cell phoners to one
car per train. Railroad officials say they are receiving a half-dozen complaints
of loud-mouthed phone talkers per week, "which probably represents
a lot more aggravated customers," say officials. "They're talking
as if this were the beginning of the telephony age and you had to shout,"
spokesperson Dan Brucker told the Associated Press. The railroad
will take some time to develop its ideas about the problem, and for now
is asking mobile phone users to be more considerate of passengers around
them.
