Milestones

Make this behaviour to be classed as anti social behaviour.

In a world already full of stress, we think commuters should be able to travel to work, without excess anti social behaviour. We feel people playing sound directly from their electronics is on the rise. We think it should be made law, that anyone must use headphones on public transport. We think the stress and mental frustration for people dealing with this constantly is simply not acceptable. Furthermore, we feel anyone who speaks up, runs the risk of an argument to a physical fight. We think the government needs to act now.
