    Good news if it was actually enforced. I vote that bus drivers use the tannoys to say, “Hey, who’s that plonker on the upper deck playing AI slop? Turn it off, you muppet!” I don’t know what they should do when they get inevitably ignored.

    (It’s nearly always AI slop revenge stories or bhangra (might not be bhangra exactly, I’m Indian but I don’t actually know the different genres. Desi stuff anyway.))

      In my experience its constant scrolling tiktok. You get to hear the AI lady saying “watch what happ-” “when my br-” “pov you’re-” “askin-” “im in love with my new set of-” “when the-” “going to-”

      I’m getting enraged thinking about it.

        No, it won’t. I’ve been on buses and trains where this has happened. “We will not be moving until the freeloaders depart or the British Transport Police arrive.” Well, the people who don’t care they’re pissing off everyone around them already won’t care if it’s being pointed out, meanwhile all of the paying customers are being delayed, being made late for work, being made to miss the connections. You can’t use shame on the shameless.

          I don’t mean shame. I mean irritation. There’s a difference between freeloaders, which isn’t even something you can identify or give a shit about, and an asshole playing loud music or tiktok. Eventually someone will break the silence and/or break their nose.
