Good. That’s a captive audience. Fuck people who do this. Same as when a dance group plays loud music on a train I can’t exit while performing a routine.
I’ve had that happen in Rome and Barcelona. The sing and dance was invariably followed by a tipping phase where they sent ten year olds around to pass the hat while also trying to pick my pocket.
You might also just have it discouraged from proper enforcement. Most of the people preaching or doing show-time bits on the subway in NYC could already be addressed with laws on the books, as they aren’t supposed to be using amplification devices in the train system without a permit (leaving aside the matter of being public nuisances and posing a risk to other passengers in some circumstances), with the absolutely massive assumption that you could actually count on the NYPD to just calmly shut down the performance and issue a citation, rather than viewing it as their chance to practice the new move they learned in their MMA gym the night before. That assumption is doing a ton of heavy lifting in that sentence, though. In practice, I usually just see cops on the train duck out of the car to avoid having to do their job, and when they do intervene, they tend to make the situation worse so that you wish they’d just gone away. I mean, shit, my sister was coming home late from work one night, and a guy on the train was being a creep to her and following her around the car while two NYPD officers on the train just watched, and when she finally asked if they could do something to keep the guy away from her when he was making her uncomfortable, they just decided that was their stop and left her to fend for herself and ran away. Such a useless, spineless organization, the NYPD.

Do you live in a movie? This has never happened to me.
Take the subway in New York City.

I’ve seen it a lot in NYC.

proceeds to barely avoid kicking random commuters in the face. Fails sometimes.
Fuck these asshats.

The dance thing happens in Boston. Rush hour is too crowded to do anything like that but off-hours, you’ll see it every once and a while.
I don’t think I’ve seen a preacher. They’d probably get told off.
