Singapore Implements Heavy Fines for Playing Loud Music on Public Buses
A new policy in Singapore aims to curb noise pollution on public transportation by penalizing passengers who play music out loud. According to a report by Dexerto, individuals caught violating this rule while riding a bus can face significant financial consequences, with fines ranging from approximately $400 to $4,000. The measure encourages the use of headphones for personal audio consumption to maintain a quiet environment for all commuters. This initiative highlights the city-state's strict approach to maintaining public order and courtesy within its transit network.
$400 - $4000 ?!? Does the amount of the fine hinge on what kind of music you were listening to?
Singapore is my spirit animal.
How much for playing this
Why do smartphone even have speakers? Only annoying bastards use them. Just sell the fuckers with a dedicated BT headset. Then they can bump up the insane prices even more whist reducing manufacturing costs!
We all know why we need this rule... a rule that is actually unnecessary and pointless... and the kind of "people" who make it necessary... Always remember: We don't have to live like this...
Yes, finally! Bring that on in europe as well
We all know who the target audience is
The fine increases depending on how awful your taste in music is
Something tells me if this started in the US, after a short while it would be deemed "racist" and discontinued.
does it include speaking on loud?
