Those who play out loud on public transport really are the worst. They intrinsically lack empathy, without a worry or care for others, no concern or thought beyond themselves.
I would love this to be expanded to public transport in general. Fine them for the same amount as traveling without a ticket. It would clear up so fast.
I've never seen or heard anyone listen music out loud from his or her phone in the public transit or on the airplane. They all have headphones but sometimes they listen music so loud that you can actually hear it from the headphones or earbuds. People usually listen out loud some short clips or they talk out loud via speaker but music, that's just disrespectful.
In what country could you possibly do this and not be subject to violence from fellow passengers anyway? I can't imagine finding a group of 100+ random people willing to turn the other cheek in Europe, much less in the UK specifically.
This is a fantastic move.

Yes, and some of them are just looking for a fight if someone challenges them.
To summarize the whole article, it's United Airlines, and "listening to music without headphones".
Brings to mind boom box punk from Star Trek 4. Flight attendants should be allowed to Vulcan-nerve-pinch.

They don't even fine people travelling without a ticket.
I believe that is happening on some public transport in the UK.

Someone in Japan can also say your first sentence. Lucky them (and you), but in a lot of parts of the world, selfish cuntiness is a growing disease.
It's absolutely rife in the UK
It's already unlawful on trains thanks to byelaws but enforcement is non existent
Pretty common across Europe too
I will always politely ask people who are doing this to stop it, and 99% of the time they do. (This is in the UK).
It's become a lot more common since lockdown. I have to wear earplugs.
We should all strive to be the most Japanese that we can be while in spaces like this.
I too eagerly anticipate the buke shahatto mass transit samurai.
Are they joined by Knights Templar?

Any western country
gestures wildly to north america
It happens all the time in the UK and they get black affronted when you pull them up on it.
