Amtrak7 Posted July 5, 2011 Share #5 Posted July 5, 2011 I guess nobody reads the GO posters, because as I was reading one at Pacific St, somebody came up to me and asked if this was the Manhattan-bound platform. I guess they assume only the well-versed read them? And that also shows that nobody reads the signs, either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another if the MTA makes CLEAR, loud announcements about them and the riders are so oblivious as not to listen at all. I understand people tune out the security announcements, but if there are announcements affecting your trip, listen! It's obvious which are security and which aren't, I think all the security ones start with "This is an important message from the New York City Police Department". There's only so much the MTA can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see many confused people.for one they dont get the announcements for some reason they see and hear it but dont get it and ask what did it say or mean, than not one person understands why it shows an arrow for where the train is going too arrive onm local or exp.
