UK bus passengers face fines for playing loud music

independent.co.uk —

Passengers who play music out loud on buses could face fines under a new crackdown on antisocial behaviour across public transport in the UK. Local authorities are being encouraged to use new powers to penalise nuisance behaviours, including vaping, littering, and playing audio without headphones, with enforcement by specialist transport safety officers. The Department for Transport has published guidance on implementing these local rules, while a nationwide campaign titled 'share the journey, not the noise' will remind train passengers to use headphones.
