Transport for London (TfL) is targeting the “disruptive behaviour” of passengers who play music and make calls using mobile phone loudspeakers.

TfL said most bus and Tube travellers considered such behaviour “a nuisance” and that some even found the additional noise very stressful.

The new campaign follows TfL research that found 70% of 1,000 passengers surveyed said they found films, music and calls being played on loudspeakers to be a nuisance.

    They are also most often teenagers so by all means, let them start something.

    And at least all the modern trams have video surveillance so starting something there is a pretty fast way to get into actual legal trouble.

      Where do you live that cops will give a shit about a teenager punching someone on the tram? Even if they catch them by some miracle they’ll be out on bail the same day.

        Where do you live that they don’t?

        Punching someone is assault. If you file charges for assault and have video evidence they literally have to do something.

        Also shouldn’t really be hard to catch them since they are most likely going to school so you just have to take the picture around the nearby schools.

        I’m not sure what you mean by “get out in bail”. Are you American? You don’t go to jail over punching someone in the first place.
