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.

Fair enough.

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

8man

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

soupie

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.
