London, increasingly common. I’d say a third of the time when I take the tube. Combine that with people making loud calls, 100% of the time. But I find people imposing their music or tiktok videos more obnoxious than a builder discussing his next job a bit loudly.
- LightBug1 9mo agoA third of the time? Sorry, nonsense. I use the tube several times a day and it's a real rarity. I do worry about the tube becoming a cacophony of phone calls, but really? Everyone message now anyway so I reckon that'll be a rarity too.
- cm2187 9mo agoIt may also be highly dependent on which direction you travel. When you travel east from the city, you get totally different demographics than when you travel west.
- LightBug1 9mo agoReally? What do you mean?
- immibis 9mo agoThey mean more immigrants live in certain neighbourhoods.
- LightBug1 9mo agoI've not noticed that correlation at all. I just wanted to see who was brave enough to actually speak their racism or whether they'd just suggest it in a cowardly way.
- throw567643u8 9mo agoRace and culture are different things.
- throw567643u8 9mo agoYes, the demographic plays a big role.
- bspammer 9mo agoI also never see this behaviour, but I pretty much only use the tube for commuting at peak times. I think commuters are generally better behaved. The sheer density of people means that anti social behaviour will get angrily shut down very quickly.
- nmstoker 9mo agoI think it will depend on your route and the time of your commute. I see fairly distinct behaviour at different times on the tube & Elizabeth Line: come in or leave late and it's full of people who are much less considerate, go in with the majority and there's a bit more social pressure against being inconsiderate.
- KaiserPro 9mo agoThe tube is ~80db (depending on line) so you're not going to hear it anyway. but, if I was mayor, I would be getting the transport police to have a word with phones on speakers.
