Do you prefer your public transit operators to be silent, chatty or somewhere in between?

They need to be quiet. In fact I like a nice automated voice. I hate it when they train driver gets sassy or even worse, sexy. There is nothing worse than a seductive metro train driver all it makes me think is: Shut up and drive the train bitch.

Ugh. There's a guy on the green line who's awful. It's like a late-night DJ trying to Smoove B his way into my mom's pants.

My driver knows when to talk to me (during the commerical breaks).

i don't mind chatty drivers.

i just wish they all would speak clearly enough to be understood by the blind riders.

I wish that they would just tell me what the next stop, why the train is stopped, etc. When they try to be funny, it makes me wonder. It's like Southwest. You're operating heavy machinery that, if used carelessly, could endanger me.

I wear headphones for a reason.

A time when train drivers should NOT be silent is when the train is going out of order (and they don't flash the lights) so that 10 other people and I don't get stuck on the train for a 30 minute lunch break in a tunnel between convention center and shaw.

I like chatty cab drivers. Septa has automated voices.

I kind of like chatty drivers. I had one this morning.
