It’s a national disgrace and a discussion that needs to be had.
It won’t be enforced, don’t get your hopes up. The bus driver isn’t gonna leave their cabin to go tell someone to put headphones on.
The difference is Irish rail have someone managing the train cabins and they can take action. They also often know based on the seat booking who you are.
If one person does it, let’s all do it. We all just pick a different song and turn our phones on full blast until everyone mutually stops.
The powers that be will just ignore this campaign, in one ear and out the other..
But but… what if I don’t want to listen to anything?
If some cunt plays some shite from TikTok on their speaker the only way to combat it is to play Norwegian Death Metal at full volume. Everyone will thank you
There was a campaign? What?
I am an avid headphone user on public transport. I HATE hearing other people’s crap. And the dread when you look in your bag and your headphones is missing doesn’t seem to affect them. Bizarre.
I’m at near vigilante stage when it comes to this. Glad the state, who have a monopoly on force, are stepping in. I’m expecting uniformed, jackbooted guards with tasers.
>”There is the ability there to interrupt, so a driver can be notified of this and might request that a passenger wears earphones or turns off their music, whatever the case may be,” he said.
I asked a woman on the bus recently to turn off the music she was blaring through a speaker. She was a little gone in the head and proceeded to shout around the bus that I had insulted her for being gay (I’m gay myself, so I was like, ‘Knock yourself out’). A drug addict type got on the bus and the woman filled him in on how horrible I am. God love him, he took umbrage on her behalf and came down to me and started swinging. I forced him off with my feet and went down to the driver for help (no passenger came to my aid, of course).
The driver became immediately frustrated. ‘Ah, Jesus, look I dunno. What do you want me to do about? Do you want me to call the police? Is that what you want?’ I was like, ‘I dunno’. He had already pulled in and it would have meant delaying everyone. He then threatened to kick both of us off. I was thinking, ‘I’m fucked if I’m left behind with this guy’. Eventually I decided to get off and the bus went off without me, my attacker and the DJ watching me through the window, proving that life isn’t fair.
As I read over that, it seems fictional or exaggerated, but I assure you every detail is true. Unless bus drivers receive proper training and are receptive (even grateful) to those who make complaints, I don’t see why anything would change.
Bit of a joke because we all know the kind of person who blares tunes on a bus or train is not the type of person who cares about a campaign. Maybe a €100 on the spot fine.
I’ve seen it three times and on all three times I’ve asked the person to turn it off or use headphones and they’ve stopped.
Other times I’ve seen it happen is when older people ask for it to stop.
Nobody got punched. Nobody got stabbed. Nobody had to *”get involved”*.
What’s wrong with the younger generation? Why do you tolerate it? You can’t *all* be too scared I speak up???
