It's reasonably common on regional trains in Europe, meaning the trains that don't stop at every station within a city, but do stop at many or all of the stations between two large cities. (The intercity train only stops at the city.) I've never seen it on a purely urban or suburban train within Europe, but then encountering a "screamer or crazy person" is something that happens perhaps once a year, and only if travelling at unusual times like at night.
