To summarize the whole article, it's United Airlines, and "listening to music without headphones".
I would love this to be expanded to public transport in general. Fine them for the same amount as traveling without a ticket. It would clear up so fast.
I've never seen or heard anyone listen music out loud from his or her phone in the public transit or on the airplane. They all have headphones but sometimes they listen music so loud that you can actually hear it from the headphones or earbuds. People usually listen out loud some short clips or they talk out loud via speaker but music, that's just disrespectful.
We should all strive to be the most Japanese that we can be while in spaces like this.
Brings to mind boom box punk from Star Trek 4. Flight attendants should be allowed to Vulcan-nerve-pinch.
Good.
I believe in the transformative power of hip-hop. I do not need this power demonstrated to me via full-volume blasting in public or on a means of transport. Apparently the courtesy of keeping your inspiring music to yourself is not universally known, so I am glad to see it enforced.
In what country could you possibly do this and not be subject to violence from fellow passengers anyway? I can't imagine finding a group of 100+ random people willing to turn the other cheek in Europe, much less in the UK specifically.
This is a fantastic move.
Those who play out loud on public transport really are the worst. They intrinsically lack empathy, without a worry or care for others, no concern or thought beyond themselves.
