US Edition'Headphone dodgers' targeted by new TfL campaign
Transport for London's campaign aims to reduce noise disruptions on buses and trains, with a survey showing 70% of passengers find loud audio from devices a nuisance.
- Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan is launching a campaign encouraging headphone use on public transport, with posters appearing on the Elizabeth line Tuesday to remind travellers not to play music aloud or use speaker mode.
- In recent months, mobile device noise has surged, with 4G and 5G coverage expansion increasing phone use on the Tube and causing loud content issues on public transport.
- TfL research of 1,000 passengers found 70% considered loud films, music, and calls a nuisance, and the Travel Kind campaign will place posters urging headphones across buses, Docklands Light Railway, Overground, and Underground networks.
- Political pressure intensified as the Liberal Democrats call for fines up to £1,000 for 'headphone dodgers' and the Conservative Party seeks on-the-spot fines and bans on loud music on buses.
- Posters will be rolled out across other services from the autumn following their Elizabeth line debut, while work to expand mobile coverage to major interchange stations such as Green Park and King's Cross St Pancras continues through the end of the year.
