One guess would be that people are so close that it might be a bad thing
for a passenger with a pacer. Another thought, is that you have to pretty
much admire the way the daily rush hour passangers put up with being
pushed and crammed in together and take it every morning. Phones ringing
and people talking on them might be making the blood boil that little bit
more... donno...
