There is a quiet car on the high-speed train.

Passengers all receive a reminder before boarding.

Some people are not making noise on purpose; rather, they have not noticed the rule.

The conductor did not criticize loudly, but only reminded them softly.

For families with children, this rule is probably not easy.

As for phone calls, everyone takes them outside the car.

One passenger never holds meetings on the train.

No wonder the whole car is getting quieter and quieter.

Long-distance travelers especially sleep much better.
