A better example of directness in trains is the fact that people will come tell you to shut up when you're in the silent part of the train (the "stilte coupe").

A better example of directness in trains is the fact that people will come tell you to shut up when you're in the silent part of the train (the "stilte coupe"). I've noticed that in other cultures, people would silently judge people who violate that rule. In the Netherlands it happens more often than not that somebody will go tell a person to have another good look at the sign and shut up.

- JBlue42 9y agoSounds great honestly. My pet peeve is people playing music out or having calls on speakerphone despite the sound quality being terrible. Not just transportation but in general. People are pretty decent on trains here in LA, though they're terrible about sitting all over the stairs or staying to the right on an escalator. The British really have it down. Back in the day on the Tube it might be crowded and steamy but you could hear a pin drop.
