Prime Minister Andy Burnham's government is starting a campaign against people who play loud music or videos on public transport, The Guardian and City AM reported. The campaign launches Monday, The Guardian reported. Passengers will be urged to "share the carriage, not the noise," The Guardian and City AM reported.

The government is issuing guidance to local authorities on using new powers to fine bus passengers up to £100, The Guardian and City AM reported. The fines would cover loud music, vaping and littering, The Guardian and City AM reported. The powers come from the Bus Services Act, The Guardian reported. City AM reported that the new rules will need to be signed off by the transport secretary.

Bus drivers will not have to enforce the rules, The Guardian and City AM reported. That job will fall to transport safety officers and the police, The Guardian and City AM reported. Train passengers can already be fined up to £1,000 for similar behavior, The Guardian and City AM reported.

"We've all been on the train when someone starts blasting music or videos from their phone. It gets on your nerves and can quickly spoil the journey," Burnham said, according to The Guardian and City AM.

Not everyone was impressed. Sharon Graham, general secretary of the Unite union, said the proposals were "well-meaning but wholly inadequate" to deal with violence against bus workers, The Guardian reported. Richard Holden, the Conservative shadow transport secretary, said Labour is "finally catching up with the Conservatives on issues passengers really care about," City AM reported.

A recent YouGov poll found that voters would back £1,000 fines for people who play music out loud on buses and trains, The Guardian reported.

What we know: Local authorities are being urged to use new powers to fine bus passengers up to £100.
What we don't: How many authorities will use the powers, and when.
