"This is the most ridiculous idea I think the MBTA has ever come up with. Well, aside from the weird lightshow ads on the Red Line."
"PLEASE STOP piped-in music at T stations. It's bad enough that this situation exists at some airports, along with the blasting of CNN on TV screens. People should have a chance to think! Especially in crowded and hectic cities. This form of brain-washing "
"Broadcasting Radio in the T is a terrible idea. Don't do it."
"Please . . . Enough!"
