维也纳公共交通运营公司近期宣布,乘客在地铁列车内接吻、大声打电话以及吃气味浓烈的外卖食物等行为均将被禁止,违者罚款50欧元(约合人民币409元)。该公司表示,在出台此项规定之前已做过乘客调查,对乘客厌恶的行为有所了解,而且他们之前也已接到很多乘客投诉,对接吻这种公开示爱的行为表示反感。2009年,英国沃灵顿河岸码头火车站曾贴出告示禁止在站台接吻,因夫妻情侣在站台接吻告别经常导致列车被延误。后来,该车站在临时停车区专门设立了一个接吻区,让离别的人表情达意。

A transport firm will fine customers caught kissing, eating smelly food, or talking too loudly

Vienna might be home to Gustav Klimts most famous painting, The Kiss, which is widely regarded as one of the most important pieces of art ever made.

But love is definitely not in the air in the Austria capital after strait-laced officials agreed to slap canoodling couples with a fine if they are caught smooching on board its trains.

Wiener Linien, the company that runs the city's transport network, claims it has been inundated with complaints from passengers opposed to such displays of public affection.

People who talk too loudly on their mobile phones and those who eat smelly foods, such as Chinese takeaway or kebabs, also face being dragged off underground trains by specially appointed sheriffs and handed €50 fines.

The company has decided to take action after conducting a survey into passengers' pet hates.

Wiener Linien spokesman Daniel Amann said: 'Our controllers are well trained to recognize what disturbs other passengers.

The company claims it has been experiencing increasingly odd activities on board its transport network.

There has been an increase in the number of naked passengers, and on one occasion a couple were found having sex on board.

In another bizarre episode, a passenger brought their pet horse onboard.

Mr Amann added: 'This of course goes way beyond the 50 Euro fine. These matters are for the police.'

In 2009 kissing was banned on the platform at Warrington Bank Quay railway station because couples who were romantically saying farewell were making the trains late.

To tackle the issue, a special 'kissing zone' was set up in the short stay car park.

Here, couples using the station were given 20 minutes to indulge their amorous feelings toward each other.
