The issue Is that the train is so congested while talking to phone may divert people attention and ...
I think the reason no one talks on trains in japan is that, it is politeness not to make people listen to you talk as well. Not sure whether you have this experience in Hong Kong. There are people that talk loudly or even watch online movies or listen to music with the speaker on public transport. I personally find that annoying.
I think it would be quite impossible to make primary school kids not talk on school bus. And also I think it is perfectly ok to talk on school bus, only if they were not too loud. However, it is probably hard for bus mom to judge whether it is "loud". That is probably why the school simply made it a rule that no talking is allowed.
In any case, I do not think talking would really be totally not allowed. If the kids are merely chatting in low voice, I think bus mom would keep her eyes closed. Complain would probably be made if someone speaks loudly or yells.
I was studying in a catholic school in Hong Kong when I was small. Many things were not allowed. No running on school campus, no talking on school bus. I found that unfair, I still think these rules are harsh. However, most of the time, even top students would break these rules. Someone would always tries to run a little bit on campus. Students always talk (mostly in soft voices) on school bus. If I remember, no complaints would be made if the situation is not too serious.
Since you created this topic, have your son been complained about talking on school bus? Well, as a parent, I would simply explain to my child that school rules are school rules. There are probably a lot of rules that we do not agree to. But still, we have to follow the rules.
It is better to be positive towards these things. In any case, I do not think it is a serious matter. Kids would learn from his lessons and be smart next time. There will be more of these little incidents where both kid and parents feel that it is "unfair" in the future. Unless you are able to persuade the school to change their rules to meet your needs, I guess we have to follow. So why not simply be more positive.
