I guess it is my time to complain and pout. Today is Sunday and I planned all day long railroad trip, overall 10 hours in trains. It is supposed to be emotionally relaxing (I love trains), a bit physically exhausting and generally a thing I did regularly. So 5 trains consequently: From Lausanne to Bern: I got in the car with a gymnase outing, around 15 adolescentes with teachers. I was immediately aware it will not be calm, but was okay with their high-pitch scream talking. What was not okay for me — phone videos on full sound, and their teachers did absolutely nothing about it. Okay, I changed my place in the same car. Immediately a group of very loud adults joins on the next stop. Okay, some people are just naturally feisty, no problem. Changed the car. Next train to Zurich, completely full. Found a place, put a sleeping mask and headphones on. Still hear a group of 20 y olds discussing things loud for 1 hour strait non stop — 2 most loud ones absolutely cannot sit next to each other, they have to be on opposite seats, you see. Train in Suisse Allemand, a woman and a child cannot be expected to take a children wagon, and a child cannot enjoy the most beautiful paysages in the world passing by. It has to watch cartoons for 1 hour full sound, obvi. I saw that the woman is exhausted and cannot play with a child, so I said nothing. Last train: a child and a mother happily play, getting creative, both full voices on, basically screaming at each other. So basically zero quiet time in 5 hours. And it’s just the way there🤣. So tell me, estimated swiss redditors. Do I expect a lot of people in public places or would you be annoyed by all that noise also? submitted by /u/Fine-Resident-8157
