Ban passengers playing loud music on public transport, say Tories
- EbNar 1y agoLiving in a place where a lot of people does this, I'm all for it. Even more, ban people doing their "walkie-talkie" conversations on Whatsapp in loud voice.
- SilverElfin 1y agoAlso in parks please (at least in the US). I’ve noticed an increasing trend of mostly young people blasting their unwanted music through loud speakers at peaceful parks, ruining the experience for everyone else.
- beardyw 1y agoAh yes. Blind Faith's inaugural free concert in Hyde Park. Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton, Rick Grech, Stevie Windwood. I remember it to this day.
- Ekaros 1y agoI am all for total ban of loud music. If it leaves your car, office, place of work or home it should be prosecuted.

- unsupp0rted 1y agoThis would lead to extremely racist-looking enforcement, and therefore even if passed it won't be enforced.
- phendrenad2 1y agoYou're on public transit, it's inherently a noisy place. We all know what this is really intended to accomplish.
- DrPimienta 1y agoNo, public transit does not have to be an inherently noisy place. It's the people playing loud music causing that to a large degree, and they need to be removed.
- phendrenad2 1y agoI've ridden a LOT of public transit in my life, and loud music was not even top 10 things that cause noise pollution. Crying babies, people taking phone calls, honking horns, large trucks, rails squealing. But sure, I guess if you've solved all of those, loud music might annoy.
- amadeuspagel 1y agoMost public places (cafes, stores, etc..) have music playing. Why not public transit? There's a famous album called "Music for Airports". There's a genre called "Elevator Music". Why shouldn't there be "Music for Public Transit" or "Public Transit Music"?
