I live in New york. Brooklyn to be exact. Can i get a ticket for playing my guitar and singing in the train? -

If you do anything to collect money, whether have a hat out or go around asking. You are panhandling which is illegal. If you just go around playing and singing you are just being annoying which is not illegal. Play on the G train i never ride that

you can get a ticket for playing, whether soliciting or not. It is very rtare that hat law is enforced if you are not too annoying. Usually a cop or transit person will just ask yoy to shut it down.
