We may not have [cleaning crews](http://www.nypost.com/p/news/regional/bus%5Fsubway%5Fjobs%5Fbeing%5Fcut%5Fxb7tGRZvRykDIPVX8iAhCP?ref=bklyner.com) to get rid of the garbage. We may not have [agents in the booth](http://www.nydailynews.com/ny%5Flocal/brooklyn/2009/09/18/2009-09-18%5Fcut%5Fin%5Fsubway%5Fstation%5Fbooth%5Fagents%5Fhas%5Fsome%5Fworried%5Fabout%5Fsafety.html?ref=bklyner.com) to answer questions or keep us safe. Heck, we [may not even have trains from time to time](/subway-screw-weekend-service-changes/). But at least we’ll have a handful of intercoms to voice our garbled and static-infused complaints to some unsympathetic nobody on the other end. Thanks, MTA!

> Straphangers should find it easier to reach transit workers in case of emergency as the agency plans to put intercoms on station platforms.

> Intercoms linking platforms and token booths are now few and far between – but NYC Transit is including them in all future station rehabilitation projects, a spokesman said.

> Among the first to see the communications upgrade will be riders at five Brighton line stations in Brooklyn.

> Workers will install 61 of the devices, one every 200 feet, the spokesman said.
