My ride has been ruined by their stupid, loud, useless, INVASIVE and RIDICULOUS announcements that serve no purpose except to annoy the crap out of their riders. I've been riding the PATH for 30 years and always used to brag about the PATH: great service run by professionals who respected your PEACE AND QUIET. No longer. I'm stunned that someone in charge … more ›
