Talking on cellphones on trains and buses is a no-no (a friend learned that lesson the hard way!). There's even a 'manners' button on one's phone to turn off all sounds. And when Japanese have conversations amongst themselves while on a train, they don't shout at the top of their lungs because they might bother a fellow passenger! <br /><br />I would like the quiet zone to work, but as others have mentioned, unless it's enforce, it's meaningless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-56827207880103067532013-07-11T10:24:14.580-04:002013-07-11T10:24:14.580-04:00We probably are.We probably are.C.J.

Probably saying it was the other guy's fault. Why take responsibilities for your actions, let alone your kids?<br /><br />I do like the idea of Quiet Zones, especially going home at night. By that time of the day, all I want is to sit in peace and quiet and de-stress.<br /><br />My commute in the morning is pretty good, people are mainly quiet. But then again, it is 6.30 am. And if it let's me lash out at the idiot woman with a techno ring tone that takes her the entire min. to get it out of her bag, stare at it, decide to answer it - EVERY MORNING, then so be it. I think she has a kid calling. And when it calls at the same time every morning, you would think she would be prepared to answer it, n'est-ce pas?Squigglesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-80044643905546316882013-07-10T11:46:15.782-04:002013-07-10T11:46:15.782-04:00I agree that if you're not actually going to e...I agree that if you're not actually going to enforce the rules, then plastering the train in stickers and signs is just a big waste of money that could be better spent on other things. <br /><br />I also have to agree with comments on other posts re: the fact that the quiet zone rules will mean nothing to the people who aren't quiet in the first place. They're not courteous enough to know that they ought to keep it down, so I doubt they'll pay any attention to the signs. <br /><br />In the meantime, I'm going to switch cars on the morning LSE express because I can't take another morning of a quad of 20-year-olds singing TV theme songs and half-yelling to each other about the One Direction concert. Today as people were exiting one of them actually said to the rest of the group "Everyone here hates us." You're probably right. And yet, you just keep doing what you're doing, because eff everyone else, right? Cool. <br /><br />At the risk of sounding like my grandparents shooing people off my lawn, whatever happened to manners? Seriously. /rantAlicianoreply@blogger.com
