In the UK will be fined £1000 for music from the phone on trains

In the UK will be fined £1000 (about 110 thousand rubles) passengers who loudly play music on trains. The government launched a campaign to eradicate antisocial behaviour on October 19, The Telegraph reported.

Railway companies will place ads on trains and platforms asking passengers to wear headphones. If a person ignores this remark and continues watching the video on the phone with the sound from the speakers, they may be dropped off at the next station. After that, he will be dealt with as an offender and, according to the new rules, can be fined.

The campaign to combat antisocial behavior in transport will also extend to buses, but here noisy passengers face a smaller fine of £100 (about 11 thousand rubles). Bus drivers are not responsible for complying with the rules, but can call the police to resolve conflicts - law enforcement officers will receive appropriate powers to combat loud music, vaping and garbage in transport.

“It’s very frustrating when the actions of a few careless people spoil travel for everyone else, whether it’s e-cigarette smoking, trash or loud music.” Even small changes in behavior can affect the overall impression of people, said Heidi Alexander, Minister for Transport.

In Russia, loud music from a car radio may fall under violation of the legislation on ensuring silence and peace of citizens. If you make noise from 23:00 to 7:00, the driver will be issued a warning or may impose an administrative fine in the amount of 1 thousand to 2 thousand rubles. The time when it is impossible to make noise is established by the laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
