What is a "compartment"?

A compartment in a passenger train is a separate section within a train carriage, often enclosed by walls, that is designed to offer privacy and comfort for passengers.

The purpose of these compartments is to provide a quieter and more private space for passengers during their journey. Depending on the type of train, compartments may vary in size and layout, offering features like windows, overhead storage, and sometimes even foldable tables.
