What Do You Think of LIRR Quiet Cars?

Each peak LIRR train now has one car that bans cell phone conversations.

Last week, the  quiet car pilot program took effect on all peak single-level electric trains to and from Penn Station.

The first car on morning peak trains and last car on afternoon peak trains – is now free of cell-phone conversations, sound from other electronic devices and loud conversations.

What do you think of this progam? Do people honor the new protocol? Do you look for a seat in these cars? Should it expand to other cars, or is one enough? Tell us in the comments.
