New York MTA Bows To Gender Issues: No More ‘Ladies And Gentlemen’

Remember when it was polite to address a crowd as “ladies and gentlemen?”

Apparently, the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority has a different view; NYC Transit staffers have been instructed to eschew using “ladies and gentleman” and utilize non-gendered words such as “passengers,” “riders,” and “everyone,” in their announcements, according to the New York Post. which reported the missive to the employees read, “Please don’t use any greeting other than these.”
