00:00In a crackdown on antisocial behavior on public transport, Londoners who blast music or videos
00:04out loud could face a £100 fine. Do you think that's a fair punishment? Well I go for a thousand
00:10personally. Well I think they should be discouraged and others should be discouraged too. It's a
00:15little bit rude and I mean if it's really really loud like it's just not necessary is it? Most
00:20people don't have £100 to spare right now. Kids playing music out loud on a bus, yes it's annoying
00:26but you're probably going to jump off the bus in a few stops. I think we have bigger things
00:30to worry about in this country right about now. I do think there needs to be some sort
00:34of deterrent for social situations in something like that. I've seen one time somebody try to
00:39do like a dance routine on the train. Especially like on a Monday you're probably like in your
00:44feelings because you're about to work and to have to deal with that on top of it I think
00:49it's a bit invasive and inconsiderate and I think we need to think about other people.
00:55Turn it down at least if not off. It's very intrusive and inconsiderate really.
01:01Even though I've just said it's annoying and irritating I think £100 fine is a little bit
01:06extreme. £100 is a bit steep. Maybe if there is some kind of deterrent people may think
01:11of it differently. It's a bit steep only because of how life is at the moment but I can see
01:18why
01:18it will be in place as well. How are you going to police that though? How are you going to
01:22monitor
01:22that on a tube like on the bus all the time? How is that going to come into effect? How
01:27are they going to do that? It seems a little bit maybe out of reach.
01:29If you saw someone kind of blasting music out loud would you say something?
01:33Sometimes yes. Mostly the reaction of the person is negative so they don't want to be bothered.
01:38however they bothering others. But the surrounding like my neighbours they all supported.
