Open Require all forms of public transport to have compulsory quiet areas

Created by Tara Nolan
Closes on

I would like the Government to require all forms of public transport to provide enclosed, quiet areas with doors where passengers are prohibited from using mobile phones and other electronic devices with the speaker on.

I feel it has become a regular occurrence now on public transport where a small group of people think it is acceptable to use their electronic devices on speaker. I believe this is disruptive and disrespectful for other passengers, and the content can sometimes be inappropriate.

I feel we should all be entitled to have a quiet area where we do not have to be subjected to this antisocial behaviour.
