AllNews EditorialPublished

England is set to introduce fines for antisocial behaviour on buses, with passengers potentially facing £100 fines for playing loud music. A new campaign is also being launched for trains, asking passengers to "share the carriage, not the noise".

The BBC reports that the new campaign aims to reduce noise levels on public transport, which could lead to fines for those who continue to play loud music without headphones.
