quiet coach
Hushed train section
A quiet coach is a designated train carriage where passengers are expected to keep noise to a minimum—no phone calls, muted devices, hushed conversations.
Common on British and European rail services: I always book the quiet coach for long journeys.
The term extends loosely to any transport zone with similar expectations.
