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.


Have you never taken the time to note the difference in people's behaviour
when talking on the phone..? If you are sitting next to someone and
talking to them, you naturally keep your voice at the minimum level
required for them to hear you. On the phone, people tend to shout.
