On my train, one car is reserved as the “quiet” car, no talking, etc.
It’s advertised to be such and there’s another 7 or 8 cars that are not. If there isn’t a rule, than it’s rude to shush people

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.

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

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.
