quiet cars
Hush-zone train sections
Quiet cars are designated train carriages where passengers are expected to keep noise to a minimum—no loud conversations, phone calls, or unmuted devices.
Common on commuter rail and Amtrak services, they offer refuge from the chaos of ordinary travel: I always book a seat in the quiet car so I can read.
Enforcement varies from conductor announcements to stern looks from fellow passengers.
