They are the scourge of the modern commute: passengers who play music or videos out loud. But amid widespread disapproval from fellow travellers, Transport for London (TfL) is trying to appeal to the better nature of “headphone dodgers” by asking them to “be considerate” and plug in.
As opposed to simply being the sort of passengers that don't care about being considerate, in fact, those that view disturbing others as a goal.
Can we see the sort of people they are talking about?
"Oy, mate! Keep the Mantovani down to a dull roar!"
The new posters, which will start to appear on the Elizabeth line this week – and on other TfL services, including London buses, in the autumn – remind travellers to use headphones when listening to music or making calls.
Oh, posters! Well, they solve everything, don’t they?
Seb Dance, the deputy mayor for transport, said: “The small minority who play music or videos out loud can be a real nuisance to other passengers.” The new posters would encourage Londoners “to always be considerate of other passengers”, he added.
I’m sure they’ll be every bit as successful as the ones telling people to always buy a ticket, and not drink alcohol or sexually harass anyone….

Perhaps a drop in the bollocks or a slap in a face could be considered?
Just give out fee air horns and let the passengers sort themselves out.
