insistence for absolute silence. I think it is clear she understood the etiquetteite but was asking why the etiquette is the way it is. I could be wrong, but you appeared to just want to lecture her.

There's something about it that's just incredibly annoying.

No idea if this is a silent car. It’s never been loud at all.

Planes are a lot louder than trains in general, so it's harder to hear other's conversations.

On my train, one car is reserved as the “quiet” car, no talking, etc.

That would really bug me. Nothing wrong with talking quietly.

Everybody thinks they are talking quietly.

But this isn’t them saying. I’m a bystander w/ no stake saying it’s not loud at all.

Obviously the other non-tourist bystanders think they are being too loud.

And? I dont get your point. Are tourists less capable of understanding

For what is normal train etiquette for that line? Yes, absolutely.

She asked why the expectation for quiet. I answered, as somebody from the northeast

Fair enough.

The quiet cars seem like a good solution. Some for talking/working, some quiet.

Sure. Just don’t know how you know which is which. Saw nothing indicating it.

Some of them aren't marked. Usually they are the ones towards the ends of the train.

TCuz

Guess it would be helpful for all parties to have it more clearly marked.

People from the Northeast are just more rude. It's a way of life. Like a Red Sox

😁 Speaking of such. Not a good idea to wear a Red Sox shirt to the gym in Manhattan. Need to get a Mets & Yankee’s one.

This is not the case when I ride the train in the Bay Area
