The invention relates to a room divider 1 for the interior of a passenger vehicle for public transport, in particular for a railway vehicle or bus, wherein the room divider comprises: a dividing element 10 adapted to divide a room into separate areas; and a holder 2 for holding the dividing element, wherein the holder comprises a section 3 adapted for non-permanent attachment to a flat surface of the vehicle. The non-permanent attachment may comprise a suction cup or glue, and may be used to attach the divider to a flat surface of the vehicle such as a window or opaque wall. The dividing element may comprise a flat panel which extends transversely to the flat surface of the vehicle, and may divide a room into separate areas which each comprise at least one seat. The flat panel may be mounted above a seat so as to substantially prevent its use. The divider is intended to prevent air exhaled by a passenger from flowing directly to a passenger the other side of the divider. The invention also relates to a passenger vehicle for public transport having such a divider, and to a method of dividing an interior room of a passenger vehicle.
