Forgive the complete noob question, but I figured I'd go to the experts.
I recently moved to NYC, and riding the subway on a regular basis has gotten me curious about a couple of things. One of those things has to do with a recent ride on the G, and there was a short period of time where the operator blew the horn a few times. Maybe three or four blasts for a couple of seconds each. It was during an outdoor, elevated section west of the Smith/9th Street stop where it turns to the north. It's the only time I've heard the horn while on a subway.
I guess the obvious thing is that someone was walking too close to the tracks, but are there other times an operator might blow the horn?
