The decision that attracted attention in the country! 'Punishment for those who listen to loud music on the bus'

According to the guide published by the Ministry of Transport, the fines that were introduced in 2005 for those who listen to loud music without headphones and behave in a disruptive manner on trains in England will also be applied on buses.

According to the guide, listening to loud music without headphones on buses, watching videos, smoking, making noise, throwing garbage and acting in an environmentally threatening manner will be punishable, and those who engage in these behaviors will be fined 100 pounds (approximately 6 thousand 600 liras).

It will be the responsibility of local governments and local transportation authorities to impose the penalty.

'WE ALL EXPERIENCED THIS'

Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced the application with a video shared on his social media accounts and said, "Let's talk about one of the most annoying things in public transportation. You are trying to do your job on the train, you are reading, or you have just been able to put your child to sleep. At that moment, someone turns on a video or music on their phone at full volume. We have all experienced this." He included his statements.

Explaining that local governments have been authorized to implement practices against antisocial behavior on trains on buses, Burnham said, "If you are watching this video on the train, wear headphones." he said.

'4 OUT OF 10 PASSENGERS FEEL UNSAFE IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION'

The regulation, which imposes fines for antisocial behavior in public transport, was welcomed by groups campaigning in the field of transportation.

Michael Solomon, director of the Campaign for a Better Public Transport group, said in a statement to the BBC that disruptive behavior reduces the use of public transport by the public, especially the disabled.

Alex Campbell, director of the Transport Focus group, said: "4 in 10 passengers say that antisocial behavior on public transport makes them feel more unsafe. Measures to reduce annoying behavior such as listening to loud music or smoking will improve citizens' travel experience and increase the rate of choosing public transport." he said.

Within the scope of the existing practice on trains, passengers who engage in antisocial behavior can be removed from the train and fined up to 1000 pounds (approximately 66 thousand liras).
