The Tories say they would change the law to so that nobody has to “endure somebody else’s choice of crap music” while on the move.
Passengers could be banned from causing a “nuisance” by playing loud music on public transport under proposals to change the law set out by the Tories.
The Conservatives said there should be “swift justice for those who make people’s lives a misery” by playing music loudly on buses and trains, and that they would introduce on-the-spot fines to tackle this.
Under the plans, byelaws that already protect passengers on trains would be more rigorously enforced, while the equivalent would be brought in for those on buses – where currently there is no ban on music being played out loud.
Currently, rules around train travel already make playing music out loud an offence – but like other issues, such as fare evasion, this is subject to being enforced by the British Transport Police or the train operators themselves.
