Petition against use of loudspeakers (music) on Public Transport ?

Question

Hi all,

I am interested in what you think about people playing music through speakers on public transport (and especially the amount that use those mp3 player phones)

It really irritates me to hear "dj xxxxx" over my earphones when I have the decency to play my music quietly.....

I feel the Transprt companies should ban use of loudspeaker music playing on their trasport for the sake of other passengers....

What are your views on this ?

Answer 1

In Houston, riders aren't allowed to play their music on the bus.  It's clearly marked up front and drivers will stop and ask you to leave if you can't respect the rules.  If you refuse to leave, the Metro cops will arrive and arrest you.

I never had one issue with loud music in Houston...

Answer 2

You grow out of having to make everyone else listen to the music you like. It's an "everyone listen how important I am" teen thing. And yes, all people who play their music loud on public transport should be killed - and that 's an adult thing.

Answer 3

A petition against half wits like you having petitions.

Answer 4

I absolutely agree with you. Unfortunately, you'll never get this sort of thing banned because it would be impossible to enforce. As a mere Saturday traveller to town, I find it very irritating to be forced to listen to other people's 'music'. It certainly isn't my type of music and, to be honest, everybody seems to be listening to the same sort of banal tripe. OK, I'm the Victor Meldrew of the bus ride and, if I had my way, I'd ban most of the things that annoy me whilst travelling.

Wicked thought: How about concealing a pair of mini clippers about your person and snipping  through their earphone leads???!!! He! he! he! No such chance ... but just a wicked thought, as I said!

Answer 5

i don't think it should be banned as most of the time i like the music they play but i think they should not play it so loud.

Answer 6

It is banned on trains, it is just impossible to enforce.

Answer 7

I get fed up with people who sit next to me with ear phones on.

I can still here the noise from them.

It will be banned like smoking was in public places.

Mobile phones will be banned.

Talking to your friends will be banned.

Am I the most miserable person to answer a question?

Answer 8

just deal with it and stop being a wuss.
