Sssh! More Cities Plan to Ban Loud Music and Videos on Subway

GiC Team GICexpat 2020-06-13


Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province, plans to become the third mainland Chinese city to ban public transport users from listening to loud music, watching noisy videos or talking loudly on phones.


Acting on complaints from passengers, the city is testing public support for a change to its subway passenger code of conduct that would ban excessive noise, the municipal transport bureau said last week.


At least two other cities, Beijing and Lanzhou - the capital of Gansu province - have barred travelers from talking loudly or turning up their electronic devices on the underground.


Kunming's proposed amendment includes a ban on a loud conversation, with administrative penalties for people, found breaking the rules. The public has until September 5 to give feedback on the proposal.


"Some passengers ignore other people and play their electronic devices with the sound on, causing a great disturbance to others. Such behavior needs to be regulated," the bureau said.


The proposal was popular on social media.


"I'd suggest operators of high-speed trains and civil aviation also adopt this ban," one user commented. 


"I'm strongly in favor - the most effective way to improve our manners is to give clear rules," another netizen said.


Lanzhou, which opened its first subway line in June, banned on passengers from playing devices without wearing headphones from the day the first train rolled.


Also in May 15, Beijing issued "Beijing Subway Passenger Regulations". This includes a list of banned behaviors as well as a record of information for passengers which is effective immediately.

Beijing Subway Passenger Behavior Bans:


  1. One person occupies more than one seat 

  2.  Product promoting 

  3. Playing videos or music (without headphones)

  4. Illegally entering or exiting gates; forged and altered subway cards

  5. eat or drink on the subway
