Cell Phone Usage

Cellular phones have become part of our daily routine. While phones are allowed, lengthy conversations are discouraged. Remember that everyone around you has to listen to your conversation.

Please be considerate of other passengers - limit the duration of your calls and keep your voice low. Better yet, shut off your phone so you and your fellow commuters can enjoy the ride.
