  • The blaring music is part of a plan to discourage people from loitering, doing drugs or committing crimes. Lauren Pozen reports.

    Here in Buffalo, NY they play classical music in the stations along our cities light rail system. I have to say it makes the ride alot more pleasant and enjoyable. I wish local restaurants would follow suit. You can't sit down for a nice meal anymore without the nauseating blare of what passes as popular music today.

    I tried riding through the pandemic and I had 3 very scary encounters, including being spit on! I now have a disability and cannot run and am afraid to take the train.

      @Lil Queerdoe sure, but I have a bag of supplies I take to work every day. I also used to ride my bike through the city. The cars are almost as dangerous as some of the train riders.

      ​​@@keriezy well I just had a encounter with a guy on the bike the other day he crossed a red light when mine was green. One thing I know when u in traffic wether on bike,ev scooter,car,motorcycle, your supposed to follow thr law that mean stopping for red lights and then they blame the car driver for hitting the idiot on the bike. Just saying also alot of idiot car driver too have a turn signal to make a right I want to switch lanes to the left he then he switches lanes to the left I just get mad and say why like why he literally slowed down like he was making a right with right turn signal boom cuts me off and goes left.

    I lived in LA for 13 years starting in 1996. The big worry at that time was that building underground was stupid because of the earthquakes. I went back in 2019 and was amazed how many people in LA are using the subway.

    Some 7-Elevens play loud music in front of their stores for the same reason. It cuts down on transients and homeless hanging around. I like to listen to classical music once in a while, but not loud and certainly not all day. Metro needs to add flashing lights to the mix. Make it a disco with classical music and that will make things better. Everyone knows disco is dead. That metro station is in a crappy area. I wouldn't exit that station at night. Metro needs to force everyone off the train cars at the end of the line. The red line basically goes back and forth, and people are sleeping on the trains until they're kicked out, which could be hours. If they're kicked out after a maximum of 30 minutes, they wouldn't make the red line their home.

      I used to work at walmart and the music they played would start to mess with your mind, it's cool to hear when you're shopping for 15 minutes, but when you work there and hear the same stuff all day for a month or more it gets super old, especially if it's music you don't like. For that reason I can't stand john legend

    What they need to do is bring back the cops that would hop in the train randomly and ask to see your train ticket, i remember I got a ticket once and never rode the train again without one!! I learned my lesson. Now they let these transients sleep inside the station do drugs and pass out in the train !! What kinda sh*t is that??? This state is going backwards every day

      Makes no difference, I’ve noticed a lot of the homeless have TAP cards. But the issue is they ride til the wheels fall off.

    I'm shocked the media is finally talking about the fears of people riding the trains. Who wants to ride dirty disgusting trains.
    The ambassadors don't even hang out by the platforms in Mc Arthur Park. Instead they are up in the mezzanine level most of the time. Loud music doesn't help stop the loitering, drug users and prevent crime. Allow law enforcement officers to do their job. Make arrests of those who use drugs, loiter and refuse to leave and cite those that don't pay to ride the train. The majority of criminals who loiter, use drugs, commit crimes and ride the trains never pay! Let the cops do their job! And they will clean up MTA and make it safe for riders and their families

    in western mass we have a loitering problem. once bus route ends at my employer. another bus stays on the nearby road. people think that the second route enters my employer after the first route finishes for the day. it stays on that road.

    If fares are enforced it would be safer. Because those who pay to use it tend to be law abiding.

    Genuinely curious if citizens can start suing the cities for the disgusting, debilitating, unsanitary, unsafe conditions of our public transportation? We shouldn’t have to walk over feces, breathe in mold , urine and fentanyl, and potentially be stabbed or murdered for simply riding a subway home.

    The juxtaposition music research was, if you happy and excited. You'll sing along with it. It triggers the side of the brain with content and less trepidation with spending. That's why you see casinos and some store's in malls blaring hits. Makes them feel hip and with less guards up.
    Disneyland does the same thing. When you hear kids music. You feel youthful, curious, and explorative. There's laughter and excitement associated.
    Unfortunately, classical music is 50/50. They assume if you don't like it, you'll go away. But what classical music for the other 50% brings. It's known for it's creativity. You hear it in art classes, math, and science labs.
    I don't think classical music will end criminal activity.
