'Quiet cars' a hit on the Rail Runner

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - A pilot program designating some cars on New Mexico's Rail Runner Express trains as quiet zones is a hit with passengers.
The cars have been on two weekday commuter trains in each direction since January. Quiet car etiquette bars talking on cell phones, using electronic equipment that makes noise or even talking to a seatmate in anything other than hushed tones.
Rio Metro Regional Transit District spokeswoman Augusta Meyers tells the Santa Fe New Mexican ( http://bit.ly/IgIBZk ) that the program was only planned to last 90 days. But it has been so popular it will likely be continued and expanded to additional trains.
Regular rider Christy Edwards says she left the train with a headache each day because of what she called "rude people" before the cars were added.
