Burnham launches war against 'headphone dodgers' as people who play music on buses face £100 fine

Andy Burnham has launched a campaign against 'headphone dodgers' who play loud music on public transport. The initiative aims to provide passengers with 'breathing space' by tackling nuisance behaviours, including vaping and littering. New guidance allows local transport authorities to levy fines of up to £100 for non-compliance. Passengers are urged to share the carriage rather than the noise as part of this crackdown on disruptive conduct within train carriages and other public transport services.
