Background
This shows a disregard for other passengers and is a deeply antisocial behaviour. Passengers who have politely requested individuals stop the behaviour often receive abuse. This is considered inappropriate behaviour to the majority of the British population. This simple yet effective action will go a long way to highlighting and penalising inconsiderate behaviour that makes using public transport increasingly unpleasant.
