  1. Omg yes

    Now do it for Dublin bus, we will be able to fund a space program

  2. I petition for capital punishment but I suppose this is a fair compromise.

  3. Yes !!! Feel for the staff who’ll now be in the awkward position of enforcing it but hopefully it does get enforced.

  4. Great.

    Good to see they’re doing something about it.

    Now, roll on the moaners.

  5. Next step, if you try and get on the train before people get off and block everyones way, straight to jail

  6. Will be enforced about as much as the feet on seats fine, aka never.

  7. Thank God. Always been tempted to find some yodelling music and match volume.

  8. Thaaaaaaank fuck.

    Hope they extend this to TikTok as well

  9. About damn time

    which is a Lizzo song I won’t have to listen to out of someone else’s phone from 2 seats away anymore.

  10. Can we extend it to hospital waiting rooms?

    Antenatal appointments while having to endure the absolute cretinous cunts around me listen to shite on Facebook and TikTok is all the contraceptive I need going forward.

  11. I suppose I had a good run. Going to have to buy a set of earphones now. Sound quality won’t be the same. Hard to replicate that tinny sound I enjoy. 

  12. People having conversations over their speaker or face timing without headphones would be done too

  13. At long last. This fucking plague will hopefully subside.

  14. If you think you’re getting the a €100 fine off Anto going across the country with his feet up on seats, bags on the other, blaring conspiracy theory TikToks while vaping and possibly drinking cans, you’re kidding yourself

  15. Now do it for Dublin bus. And **enforce** it for gods sake.

  16. They’d need staff on the trains to enforce it. Which they don’t have.

  17. Good let’s go full Japanese on this and make it socially unacceptable to talk to load on your phone or in general and have their standard of train services and their public infrastructure… Fuckit lads let’s move to Japan

  18. Good luck with enforcement if you’ve seen some of the types using the trains.

  19. Hope they’re extremely strict with this and it rolls out to the luas too.

  20. These people that are likely to get the fine will instantly claim they can’t afford it but will go be going around with North Face jackets etc

  21. Also why are parents letting their toddlers and children play them phone games with the coin and gun sound effects on full blast. Moving from the front of the bus to the very back made no difference really

    Was 8am on a 5 hour bus trip too

  22. Enforcement, right. Bet it’s a load of signs and some crap recorded announcement

  23. Yes signs will go up, but i bet you there will be like 2 fines a year- and both won’t be paid

  24. should also include fines for having full on conversations on speakerphone like a cunt.

  25. Yes, finally. Public transport in Japan is the standard every country should aim for.

  26. That’s great. Somehow I think this will affect a certain cohort of people more than others…

    AHEM I can’t say anymore…

  27. Great, another thing that won’t be enforced.

  28. Please remember folks, if you see a staff member enforcing this and receiving agro, please don’t sit idly by, doing and saying nothing. It’s one of our national traits we need to shake off. Support your fellow humans.

  29. The 6:30 train ….. 2 hours to Dublin …. Always someone on loud speaker for the entirety of the journey yapping, I wish terrible things on them.
