Andy Burnham has unveiled a campaign against nuisance behaviour on public transport on Monday, alongside guidance allowing local transport authorities to levy fines of up to £100 for non-compliance.
Burnham said in a statement: “We’ve all been on the train when someone starts blasting music or videos from their phone. It gets on your nerves and can quickly spoil the journey."
So, we’re launching a nationwide campaign reminding passengers to use headphones on trains. On top of that, we’re giving local leaders new powers to tackle loud music, vaping and littering on buses.”
Transport workers will not be expected to enforce the rules which would be left to transport safety officers or police officers.
How do you feel about the latest plan to tackle nuisance behaviour on public transport? We’d also like to hear from transport workers about how they feel about the campaign.
