I've had headphones on for so long I don't even know what they play. Whatever it is doesn't erase the idiot commuters all around us.

Top 40 to Ronkonkoma but classical to Washington? Well, I guess Ronkonkoma is more popular than DC!

Does anyone else hear chirping birds in the LIRR waiting area of Penn Station? Or is that just me?

I really wish we could have those soothing melodies like they do in Japan.

Another benefit of music is the psychological effect - it makes the wait seem shorter. I agree its not a priority given limited budgets, but it would be a nice bonus when they improve the PA systems in the subways!

I've always found the classical music in Penn Station kind of hilarious.
