Piped music on the Underground
In Brussels, ever since the Brussels metro started, they've played piped music into the stations.. They play a combination of pop, rock and other chart music during the day, and switch to classical at 9pm. Apparently it relaxes the passengers.

What do you think? Would you like to see music introduced on public transport here (after all, even buses have PAs now, as do all stations)? Would you find it relaxing, or would you find it annoying?
After all, if you want to listen to music, it's not as if it's hard to get hold of an MP3 player and bring your own music.

Re: Piped music on the Underground
I dont want music. Especially if I had a headache. It's the last thing I'd want.

I'd vote Don't know or care, if the option was there.

No, as I would prefer to listen to my iPod if I wanted to listen to music

Re: Piped music on the Underground
I voted no. If I want music on any public transport, thanks to the mp3 player on my phone, I have it. If I don't want music, I don't want it forced on me.

Re: Piped music on the Underground
I would really vote no music. Everybody has different kinds of music that they enjoy. I would hate to have to listen to something that I did not like.

Re: Piped music on the Underground
If they really wanna spend some money what they really need on the underground is air conditioning.
When i was last in London in May 2008 it was really hot and when u went into the underground it was like an Oven. The air hardly circulates, i bet there are 100 year old farts still lingering around down there!!

Re: Piped music on the Underground
One thing I need to make clear. As fair as I am aware, there are no plans to introduce music to any UK public transport. I'd just read that they do it on the Brussels underground and wished to get an idea of how it would be recieved here.
