Posters have appeared on the Elizabeth line urging travellers not to play loud music or hold speakerphone conversations that disturb fellow passengers. The campaign forms part of TfL's Travel Kind initiative and will be rolled out across buses, the Docklands Light Railway, Overground and Underground networks. Campaign materials encourage passengers to look up from phones and to be aware that others may need seats. Most Londoners use headphones, but a small minority play audio out loud and disrupt journeys. Political calls have followed for bans and on-the-spot fines for disruptive loud music on public transport.
Now mayor Sadiq Khan is finally waking up to nuisance caused by people playing music and have noisy conversations on speaker mode on the Transport for London travel network. In a new campaign, posters are appearing on the Elizabeth line urging travellers not to annoy fellow passengers by blaring out tunes or forcing them to hear two-way phone chats. The scheme, the latest part of Transport for London's (TfL) wider Travel Kind campaign, will then be rolled out on London's buses, the Docklands Light Railway, and Overground and Underground networks.
The vast majority of Londoners use headphones when travelling on public transport in the capital, but the small majority 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.
New campaign posters will also encourage people to look up from their phones, and to be aware that others travelling on public transport may be in need of a seat. The Travel Kind campaign has previously included posters calling for vigilance about sexual harassment and urging travellers to move down inside London's Tube carriages to ensure others can get on. The campaign launch comes just days after the Tories called for passengers to be banned from playing loud music on buses.
