Liberal Democrats are asking for fines of up to £ 1,000 for “headphones dodgers” that play music and videos in public transport.
Current railway tabs already prohibit many forms of antisocial behavior in trains and stations, including the use of equipment to produce sound without permission if this bothers others.
However, the Lib Dems because changing the law to explicitly prohibit music and videos aloud from a phone in trains and buses in England.
A transport spokesperson said: “There are strict reaza rules to prevent antisocial behavior in public transport, including possible fines of up to £ 1,000.”
The government is also introducing new measures to address antisocial behavior in buses, including mandatory training for personnel on how to respond to incidents.
The idea has crossed parties support, with some work parliamentarians and suggestion conservatives previously similar measures.
However, without the government’s support, it is unlikely that LIB DEM’s proposals become law.
A survey of more than 2,000 adults in the United Kingdom for Libs Democrats, made by Savanta, found that 38% had experienced people who played music aloud or something.
4% of people would not feel comfortable asking some to reject their music in public transport, they suggest the findings.
The figure was higher for women (63%) than people (46%).
Lib Dess said they would try to amend the Buse Service Law, which currently makes its way in Parliament and will be discussed by their peers next week, to introduce the changes.
The party said that the railway byOlows also wanted to exist so that they are clearly modified to play music and videos aloud from a phone counts as unacceptable behavior and should be punishable with a fine of up to £ 1,000.
He said that this should be accompanied by a national advertising campaign, including posters on train platforms and bus stops.
Currently, passengers that violate the statutes can be removed from trains or stations, with a maximum fine of £ 1,000.
Existing regulations also allow passengers to withdraw from buses if they play sounds that probably bother the ethers.
The spokeswoman for Interior Affairs of Liberal Democrats, Lisa Smart, said: “Too many people fear their daily trip due to the blight of anti -social behavior, and headphones sponsor who play music at full volume in buses and train criminals.
“Whether he addresses work, takes his children to school or simply tries to enjoy a moment of peace, everyone deserves to feel safe and respected in public transport.”
She added: “It’s time to defend the quiet majority who only wants to get from A B in peace.”
The conservative secretary of Transport of Shadows, Gareth Bacon, said: “Touching music at full volume in public transport may seem small, but speaks towards a growing tolerance of antisocial behavior that moves away from advertising.”
He added that the conservative party supports “common sense reforms like this”, but “any new reverse must be backed by increasing the application, something that the plan of the liberal democrats is not delivered.”
Reform UK and the Green Party have approached to comment.
