What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Department for Transport issued new transport guidance detailing how local transport authorities in England can use bus byelaws to address nuisance behavior, including loud music and littering. These byelaws allow for fixed penalties of up to £100. Separately, the Department for Transport informed Parliament that breaches of railway byelaws can carry fines of up to £1,000, and new rules restrict sound equipment use on trains.
