This is a fantastic move.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.

To summarize the whole article, it's United Airlines, and "listening to music without headphones".by netsharc

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.by mrkramer

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.by netsharc

It's absolutely rife in the UKIt'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).by b800h

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.by 63stack

They don't even fine people travelling without a ticket.by ekjhgkejhgk

I believe that is happening on some public transport in the UK.by b800h

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.by JasonADrury

In the US, including NYC, it’s more likely the offender will subject his fellow passengers to violence (or threats of) if confronted.Most people will choose to ignore the offender rather than poke a potentially crazy bear.
Of course it’s stuff like this that make people here hate public transportation. But often times transit advocates choose to ignore problems like this saying there’s nothing wrong.

Yeah, but that's on the regular public transportation where the trips are short and homeless people a feature.by JasonADrury

Good.I believe in the transformative power of hip-hop. I do not need this power demonstrated to me via full-volume blasting in public or on a means of transport. Apparently the courtesy of keeping your inspiring music to yourself is not universally known, so I am glad to see it enforced.
