Woman removed from train after talking too loudly
-
A young woman who insisted on noisily chatting on her cell phone throughout a marathon 15-hour train ride was forcibly removed by police following numerous passenger complaints.
The woman was traveling on Amtrak's Coast Starlight, which runs between Los Angeles and Seattle, Washington, and was speaking loudly enough to annoy surrounding passengers, said Amtrak spokesman Vernay Graham.
"I guess she got into some sort of confrontation with others passengers that were sitting around her," said Graham, adding that the train had almost reached its destination when the conductor decided to call local police after the train pulled into the station at Salem, Oregon.
"We consider them unruly passengers when we've asked them to stop doing some kind of behavior and they continue on. Then it's up to the discretion of the service crew, in this case the conductor, to decide that they would be removed," said Graham.
Amtrak, the national rail operator, is not following up with any charges, he said.

You'll be surprised that talking on your mobile phone doesn't consume as much battery power as one thinks.
I reckon the news report was exaggerated, can you talk 15 hours non stop?

There are power outlets on board next to the seats, so it's possible to plug in and talk.

I rode on a Boeing 777 recently, and it had both power points and USB ports on every seat (including Economy class). So I happily plugged my smartphone into the USB port to charge it up.

Though singapore don't have 15-hour train ride, but it will be good if this can apply to singapore.

Then the USB ports will be filled up with shit. And phones will fly when people get caught on the cables.
