Fines for loud music on public transport
British authorities tighten sanctions on passengers playing music without headphones on buses and trains, with fines up to £100.
Local authorities and British Transport Police will be responsible for enforcement, not drivers. A national campaign launched on October 19 urges passengers to use headphones on all forms of transport, reminding that loud audio can ruin the journey for other users.
Train passengers face even stricter sanctions: up to £1,000 fines or being removed at the next station if they refuse to comply. For club and festival attendees travelling by transport, the recommendation is clear: keep pre-party music on headphones until reaching the venue.
