My company will actually start providing the emergency school communication system free to schools. I would have to believe that the MTA would value the money savings. In fact any school should like free. Let me know what schools need our system and we will set it up.

I was taking the 1 train up to 116th street, then all of the sudden, without telling anyone, we were taken express starting at 96th st -- this was before announcements were posted. The conductor did not tell us anything until it was too late to get off the tain. We ended up at 145th, making so many people on the train late.
Train changes are not well advertised.
On another note, no messages are NOT clear. Have you rode on the ACE or NRQ lately? I can never understand what the conductors are saying because they mumble and the speakers are terrible quality.

So, the one who is not updated is you.]]>Dec 13th 2007 8:50AM
