What Do You Think of LIRR Quiet Cars?

Last week, the quiet car pilot program took effect on all peak single-level electric trains to and from Penn Station. The west end car – the first car on morning peak trains and last car on afternoon peak trains – is now free of cell-phone conversations, sound from other electronic devices and loud conversations.

Which leads to the quesion: one week in, what do you think of this progam? Do people honor the new protocol? Do you look for a seat in these cars? Are seats available? Should it expand to other cars, or is one enough? Tell us in the comments.
