My God, how many retrograde notions can be packed into a single human cranium? The subway PA system, dismal as it is, is infinitely preferable to the knitting-needle-thrust-into-the-ear agony of having Dr. Ruth or some other hectoring celeb screech these "reminders" at you in a taxi -- an intrusive non-service that is indeed a quintessential Giuliani-ism.

Not to mention the characteristic touch of the driver positioning his seat all the way back so he's in total comfort while you have three microns of knee room.
