3. If #tube_chat is an actual TfL initiative, it displays some stunning naivety in hoping their audience will go for it.
4. But it's going to end up being a stunt for a worthwhile cause, and - while I still think it's misguided - I'm going to regret mocking it.
Continued #tube_chat thoughts:
I am in favour of people talking to each other and offering an ear to others when they need it.
That London has reached a point where people need to wear a #tube_chat badge to indicate talking is acceptable behaviour is depressing.
Talking is not acceptable unless you're sure everyone within hearing wld rather hear you than whatever they were planning to do.
