Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how her Department expects to enforce fines for loud music and vaping throughout the Transport for London network.
Transport in London is devolved to the Mayor of London and Transport for London (TfL). While the Department works closely with TfL on a range of issues, the enforcement of fines for loud music and vaping on its network is a matter for TfL. TfL has powers under relevant byelaws to address certain forms of antisocial behaviour, including loud music and vaping, although enforcement powers and arrangements vary between different modes of transport. Following the Bus Services Act 2025, TfL is also developing bus byelaws that will enable enforcement through fixed penalty notices or prosecution.
