I'll be here all week! I do enjoy the deviations from the conductor script . . . they've long been a staple of Overheard In New York. Good to see they’re “publicly addressing” the problem.

It was really nice, and I'd have liked to be on his train at least once more. In a not-so-surprising move, the Transit Authority has pretty much put a stop to these announcements because of his deviation from the script.
