People who play loud music on buses in England could face fines of up to £100 as part of measures addressing antisocial behaviour on public transport.
The proposal focuses on passengers whose music causes disruption to others travelling on buses. The available information does not set out when the fines would take effect or how they would be enforced.
A separate national campaign is also being launched for train passengers. Using the message “share the carriage, not the noise”, it encourages people travelling by rail to consider the impact of loud music on others in the same carriage.
The bus measures and rail campaign are aimed at reducing noise-related disruption on public transport. No further details about the campaign or the proposed fines have been provided.
