Transport for London is launching a campaign urging passengers to wear headphones and stop using phone loudspeakers on public transport. Posters began appearing on the Elizabeth line and will expand to other TfL services this autumn. Recent TfL research of 1,000 customers found that 70% said loud music and phone calls without headphones are a nuisance. Passengers are also encouraged to occasionally look up from screens so seats can be offered to those who need them more. Political proposals and enforcement elsewhere, including calls for formal bans and fines on other rail services, have targeted playing music out loud.
The vast majority of Londoners use headphones when travelling on public transport in the capital, but the small minority who play music or videos out loud can be a real nuisance to other passengers and directly disturb their journeys. TfL's new campaign will remind and encourage Londoners to always be considerate of other passengers. However Londoners spend their journey, whether catching up on their favourite series or listening to music, we want everyone to have a pleasant journey.
People are to be urged to wear headphones when playing music or watching videos on public transport as part of a new campaign. Transport for London ( TfL) has long-run campaigns seeking to prod people into being considerate of others around them, and has run campaigns in the past asking people to turn their music down when listening to it on their headphones. Now they just want people to wear headphones in the first place and stop using their phones' loudspeakers.
