After a successful test run of a proposed “quiet car’’ program earlier this year, the MBTA and the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Co. began implementing quiet zones on all 13 commuter rail lines yesterday.
The quiet cars, where passengers are asked to refrain from cellphone use or conversations above a whisper, are located nearest the locomotive. The mandatory quiet will be imposed during peak commuting hours, from 6 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. on weekdays.http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2011/06/28/t_rolls_out_quiet_cars_on_all_commuter_lines/?p1=News_links
