DC and Baltimore Metros > just banned cell phones for their drivers. The DC Metro system banned cell phone use while operating a bus or train years ago. Metro has simply somewhat rephrased that ban and put it out for public consumption in the aftermath of the rail crash that took some lives. PR at work. The ban did not truly take effect or work then, and it will fail again to curb a lot of cell phone use. Why? Because too many people are emotionally addicted to their phones.
