The frustrating public transport trend that is annoying commuters
The practice of playing music or videos loudly from phones on public transport, dubbed "bare beating," is increasingly irritating commuters.
The Liberal Democrats are calling for a £1,000 fine for those who engage in this behavior, which they term "headphone dodging."
A poll revealed that over half of Britons are hesitant to confront those playing loud music on public transport.
More than a third of those polled reported frequently experiencing this issue.
Existing regulations already allow for fines of up to £1,000 for antisocial behavior on public transport.
