Ladies and gentlemen also in metro New York deleted

The announcers in the New York underground will henceforth pronounce the announcements to passengers gender-neutral.

The announcers have been instructed to use the passengers in neutral terms as 'best passengers' or 'all' in communications via the broadcasting system.

The outdated metro system in New York, incidentally, leads to great annoyance to many travelers, who often have to deal with delays, line breaks and even derailments of metro trains.

Earlier, the Metro in London and the Dutch Railways, among others, decided to appeal to passengers in a gender-neutral way.
