I think it's great. I can spend the whole ride home, about 20 mins, on the phone with my mom and then say, "Well, this is my stop, I've gotta go!" I've killed two birds with one stone -- commuting and calling my mom, with a built in exit strategy. And so long as I keep my voice low, it's not an issue. Those loud obnoxious ppl are going to be loud and obnoxious with or without cell phones. Some ppl are naturally chatty and can't gague the reactions of those around them. I hope they don't ruin it for the rest of us any more than they already do by making city officials decide against providing cell service in the Subway.
