It would certainly help with the loud disco heads making public transport unbearable for everyone else

  1. Yes this is common in East Asian counties, makes the commute more peaceful and easier for everyone

  2. Maybe get rid of the huge bikes during rush hour first. Nothing is enforced. Even people booking seats on trains have nobody to enforce this if some dumb fucker insists the seat is theirs

  3. What would be the point? No one will enforce it and even if the cunts who act that way got to court, nothing would be done eitherย 

  4. Ever since I got my noise cancelling headphones, the commute has been much better.

    People are assholes and there’s no enforcement of existing rules so they’ll do what they want. Get yourself a good pair of noise cancelling headphones and blast your own music.

  5. I wish. Was on a bus yesterday and a group of 13-14 yo girls sat behind me. Completely pissed off their faces, vaping, shouting โ€˜yup yup yup yup yupโ€™ and โ€˜yaaaaaas I love you kweeeeeeenโ€™ among other things, playing music loudly and more. I did ask them to keep it down and stop vaping but while theyโ€™d agree theyโ€™d giggle and whisper shout about being good.

    The driver didnโ€™t give a shit either.

  6. But how on earth will we get those videos of someone whipping to a guitar and fiddle on the bus and the comment section flooded with “Only in Ireland”

  7. Sure what difference would it make to the /r/Ireland user who is too afraid of any sort of in-person confrontation?

  8. I’d love it! Effing hate it when some gobdaw starts playing their music on loudspeaker

  9. In the US a bus driver will stop the bus and approach any patrons that are speaking loudly on a phone, playing music or generally making too much noise. Passenger comfort is taken extremely seriously.
    In the UK and Ireland you can basically have a rave, fornicate and riot and the bus driver couldnโ€™t care less.

  10. I have no problem with people singing, but the phone on speaker is awwwwful. I don’t want to listen to your terrible podcast and I definitely don’t want to listen to the first 2 seconds of a bunch of songs and speeches as you go through tiktok. That’s genuinely torturous.

  11. Do you think the people who are the problem respect the law? Make up whatever laws you want. Without enforcement they’re all equally fucking useless.

  12. I layed into a guy who littrally connected a Bluetooth speaker and started blaring music at the back of the bus over the weekend.

    I told him he was a bad person, not a functioning member of society, and obviously had a shit life because of the way he looked and his behavior.

  13. There were Roma gangs a while back ,playing musical instruments in buses going towards Phoenix Park

    Talk of a ‘captive audience ‘ ………literally!

  14. I was on the 16 yesterday and heard the soul-destroying rattle of a video call coming in. Person answered to say they’re on the bus and will call them later. Nobody clapped but I quietly appreciated it

  15. its really fucking annoying. i mean i always wonder how the drivers feel, who are trying to concentrate of the road whilst listend to joe duffy.

    but having said that when ever i use public transport and some eejit has music playing on their phone, i usually just join in.

    my phone as a 109db speaker as its a builders phone. and iv yet to find someone out volume me.

    i mean dont get me wrong, id much rather sit in silence, but if some a hole is going to wreck my head then im going wreck theirs.

  16. ill never forget the last time i was on the train.

    there was some young fella dressed in a tracksuit giving off chav vibes. feet up on the seat with his phone propped up on the table watching football on his phone on full whack.

    so after the conductor walked by and saluted the little shit. i took out my builders phone with the 109db speaker and started blaring music.

    the fecker then decided to give me a dirty look, and took out his headphones. i mean the shite had headphones but just didnt want to use them.

    so that was fine, i turned my music off, and once he copped this he took out the headphones.

    so i put back on the music. we did this dance another 2 times until he got the hint.

    i mean honestly you have to give them a taste of their own medicine is the most non confrontational way that you can. as these feckers love confrontation
