Suggestions?

Sit in the quiet carriage.


But there isn't room for *all* of us in there..! The whole train should be
phone-free. As should buses for that matter.


I never understand this. Should conversations also be banned. I assume the
motive is they you get frustrated by only being able to eavesdrop on on
half of the conversation - otherwise the 'campaign' would be about load
conversations not just phone conversations.


The point is that phone users speak more loudly than they would for a
normal conversation.
