That's a problem with saved content as well. I have yet to notice that problem on planes like it is on trains. Although this might be because the people who plan ahead to download content are more likely to remember headphones.

I suspect it's more a function of cost and class. The people who pay $500 to fly aren't the same as the people who pay $2.50 to be on the subway, or jump the turnstile altogether.

  500$ is a quite average price for the country I live in. Of course I don't mean cheap airlines, only the national ones.

    The average passenger likely paid far more than $10, so I think their point stands, sort of. I would add that trains for longer than a few hours in many western countries often cost more than the typical price of a Ryanair ticket, so I’m not sure the class difference is very large in some countries.

Seems to me that anyone under age 25-ish has headphones permanently grafted to their ears. I exaggerate a bit but like young people rarely forget their phones because they notice within a few minutes that they don't have it, people are increasingly using headphones so much that they will not need to remember them. My kids were constantly losing wallets, money, credit cards, keys, drivers licenses, etc. but none of them ever lost a phone. I expect headphones will go the same way soon. For older folks, yeah. I often leave the house without my phone, because I go for hours at a time not using it.

I also suspect that the flight crew more actively enforcing rules than on a bus/train helps a lot.
