Communication was an early target of the organization. Frequent
commuters have doubtless seen “Train Approaching” signs —
ceiling-mounted displays near attendant booths meant to light up when a
subway arrives in a station. These “annunciators” were one of the
Campaign’s first pushes. Since subway platforms were hotspots for crime
— platform lights were frequently vandalized, and night-time riders had
a one in forty chance of being the victim of a felony in 1981 —
annunciators allowed riders to spend as little time at the platform as
necessary. Rather, they could congregate together by the well-lit,
staffed token booth and venture to the platform only when the
annunciator indicated a nearby train.
