I think that he means having the entire train being made up of quiet cars instead of there being just one quiet car in the train.
-
yea, we have A Quiet Car
You guys probably will have A Quiet Train! :D
-
Cant wait to see it in Jersey but might be dangerous cause of people crossing tracks like in NEwark and such
-
don't make fun of what i post okay long island railroad is planning to run trains that all the cars are quiet cars. I've seen a prototype quiet train on the ronkonkoma line on the lirr. and i have also seen some on the nj transit hoboken line.

Uh, don't get offended. Its OUR OPINION right?
-
yes its your opinion but the way your saying it sounds like you think it would never happen :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
Ok, that it might not work because how are you going to monitor if people are quiet or not? And if you catch them, what are you going to do? Arrest them? Here in Philly, people cram in every car behind the first one. And people dont even listen to the rule. That is becoming ineffective over here, so good luck to the LIRR, MNRR and NJT

Well, the MBTA has a quiet car pilot program which seems to be going well. The MBTA Commuter Rail on the Franklin and Fitchburg lines have A quiet car in every train. It's the car right behind the locomotive.
-
It really all depends on how it is implemented.
I have seen self enforced quiet cars and some quiet cars enforced by regulations.
Both work quite well, but can have their hiccups.

Our first car IS our locomotive

Our first car IS our locomotive
Every transit system is different.

True that.
Besides the AEM-7's we use for our express trains.

Okay apparently he's not talking about the locomotive. He's talking about the first passenger car, or the rear cab car.
Quiet cars are basically the cars in the first and last cars of the passenger consist, where conversation volume is kept to a minimum and cellphones are either on vibrate or shut off. I rode it last week on a super express New Jersey Transit train, and I must say, it was pretty effective. It should be implemented on most commuter railroads because seriously, why do people need to yell at each other when they're sitting right next to each other? I honestly don't want to know what's going on in their personal lives.

I am new to this board, so I truly cannot tell if you are teasing...
The MTA is the only major train line (LIRR and Metro North) in the entire country without Quiet Cars (so far), and as far as I know, they have been saying NO to us for years.... (for no good reason), especially since the entire country, including all of our immediate surrounding neighbors have been running Quiet Cars successfully (and expanding them to more lines).
So, my bottom line question is: Is there any truth to the LIRR considering them? If so, when? Because, I am so sick and frustrated of being forced to listen to megaphone mouths screaming inane conversations (not just cell phone conversations) to each other. These are commuter trains not backyards on wheels or bars on wheels.....
It is maddening to have to pace from car to car throughout the train after working all day to try to find a "quiet car" when these rude loudmouths are scattered throughout the train......And, there is no reason for that.... If human beings cannot understand the simple courteous common sense concept of speaking in normal tones (inside voices), then they need to be seated separately from the civilized human race. (i.e. Quiet Cars). Please, does anyone have any info? My head is throbbing.

It's especially only fair to those who had a long day in the office with their bosses yelling at them in any way they please. Then they have a big headache they should be able to have a quiet commute home. This way atleast some stress is releaved
