And actually this isn't the way it looks typically. It's usually crowded and you can't even see the seat. But the people were always polite, quiet and respectful regardless of how many were crammed on the car. You RARELY ever heard a cell phone but you saw nearly everyone with one. I think my entire travels (on trains, in the streets, in the shops) I heard maybe two cell phones ring. That’s out of millions of people, folks! In the States, there’s one ringing every ½ second! But back to the trains - you also saw folks listening to their music, MP3s I'd imagine, but you'd never hear any of it. The people are incredibly polite.
