They'll almost always take it, put the phone down and read the paper from cover to cover. I don't understand why the papers are not available for sale on the trains, Often I have to rush to get to one and don't have time to stop to purchase. However it takes seconds to accept a free paper. Sometimes you're forced to use new media because the old media is not available..
