Bad Mic on Subways

Idea Submission for The People's Money:
We can use the money to fix the mics on the subways; some people miss their stop because they fall asleep and the microphone isn't able to wake them. Another reason for this is if the conductor tries to make an announcement, it is very hard to hear what they say. I have had this happen where my stop is skipping and I wasn't aware it was going to be skipped because of the poor microphone quality.
What is the problem your idea aims to address?
Low microphone quality/volume on subway.
