I gave him loose change the first time but now him and his music piss me off!

Eh....ask for a request?

I wouldn't have a problem with licensed buskers in the stations, but I think they should be kept out of the carriages. Not everyone wants to hear them and while you can walk past someone in a single spot, getting trapped in a carriage with it could become frustrating. Also, when they come looking for money, it can be intimidating for someone who doesn't speak much of the local language.

I've encountered this in France, the UK and the Netherlands. It's disheartening to learn that it's spreading to Dublin.

what I hate are people who hand out leaflets on the sly - and one Sunday a guy was leaving religious newspapers on empty seats/window ledges of the subway car. If you are paying a fee to TTC to spread your crap on advertising boards or the platform TV - fine. I don't like it, but that keeps my Metropass cost down a bit. But if you want to spread your crap for free then fewk off I say.

The current trend is to go around leaving small trinkets on the seats of a coach then coming back and trying to sell them

The total lack of a security presence doesn't help

23. (1) No person while upon the railway or in any vehicle shall to the annoyance of any other person or if requested not to do so by an authorised person, sing, perform on any musical or other instrument or use any gramophone, record player, tape recorder or portable wireless or television apparatus.

Does this mean if someone's on their phone, and it causes me "annoyance" then the other person is breaking the law? it's wireless and it's portable.

I'd wonder how this would stack up against article 41.6.1 of bunreacht na hEireann, if it's matter of public order or if it's immoral.

What used to bug me was the interference phones made to my walkman before a call came in.

One of my lecturers once told me that you only mention the constitution when you havent got a real case. He was right, as it happens.

No, a mobile phone isn't on that list of things that they're not allowed to use. A "portable wireless" is a radio.
