In my country, almost any group travelling together is going to speak on a long-haul bus or train, many of them most of the time. And lots of people make phone calls. There have to be designated quiet coupés (or open rail cars since coupés are falling out of fashion). They are experimenting with making them first-class only, very asinine given the ticket price difference and the near-zero cost of 🔇 stickers as opposed to the cost of a railcar
It’s pretty common for long haul routes to feature chatter, the chatter goes up exponentially if something goes south. As we’d then have a shared experience of sitting in queue on the highway together
Is that not the case where you’re from? Genuinely almost never heard anyone having a conversation on an intercity bus
