Q What do you think of infotainment noise levels on public transport?
Do not wait for lawmakers to legislate on noise pollution. Do something now. Either the volume should be cut overall or two 'quiet cars' should be added adjacent to those already designated.
These suggestions follow from two observations. The sound level is usually loud enough to be heard in the four seats at either end of the car.
When screens are placed in the centre aisle, the noise projects further and can fill the entire quiet car if it is not crowded.
Also, will someone please require Kowloon Canton Railway Corp managers to divulge the details of the survey they claim to have conducted before installing this innovation.
All of us who lodged complaints during its first week in operation received a form letter declaring that only 20 per cent of the survey sample did not welcome the proposal.
The obvious questions are: who conducted this survey; who responded; and did they know what they were approving for the rest of us?
