Either in the cars or on the platform hearing the announcements is at best difficult, but more often impossible to understand the announcements, with the exception of one from the Metro Chief of Police who gives information about a phone number to call. Interestingly, the phone number of hardly posted anywhere and many cell phones do not work in the underground.
Regular riders mostly pay no attention to the garbled noise. Tourists or infrequent riders can be easily identified as the people who actually wonder what is being said. The signs are somewhat more help. However, the infinite list of elevators and escalators currently out of service also detracts from the important message that METRO maya be trying to send.
More recently we have learned that many of the call boxes, communicate to nowhere. Basically, what most people have learned, you are on you own.
