In Japan, when we are using a public transportation, we always note to speak softly.
How about in your country?
日本では、電車やバスでは静かにする習慣がありますが海外ではどうですか?

In general, it's considered rude to be loud on a bus or train here in the U.S. But of course, there are many people who do not care about etiquette when out in public; they talk loudly on their phones, they blast music from their phones *without* earbuds, and just act like total animals. Most people politely tolerate them until their stop comes up, but there are others who take this *very* badly. There was a man on my train who beat up a teenager who was being very loud and disrespectful.
Don't get me wrong! Rude passengers and violence is rare. The vast majority of people here will sit or stand quietly on the bus and mind their own business. Pretty much like Japan, actually.

In Mexico there is no such thing. You can be easily sitting down in a bus or metro commuting somewhere and some guys might start playing instruments and singing for change. or people talking loudly We're used to it, somehow. I remember my japanese friend told me she was shocked when she had to take the metro, because people would play music in their speakers as samples of the (illegal) music they were selling.
When I went to Japan and used the train for the first time I was completely shocked and felt really uncomfortable because everyone was extremely silent.

Please forgive us that you were shocked and felt uncomfortable.
Many Japanese avoid to cause anyone trouble in a public place.

In Vietnam, we shouldn't speak loud on the public transportion, but sometimes, there are some people who have too much words to say, expecially the bus driver LoL :)

In Singapore, during rush hour, especially in the morning, it's quiet. But during weekends and other off-peak hours, people generally talk.

In sweden, buses are very quiet. We tend to interact with unknown people as little as possible.
