Rlys wants ticketless travel fines based on class of travel

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: The railways have sought the approval of the Railway Board for a steep increase in the fine for ticketless travel in Mumbai’s suburban trains, hoping it will act as a deterrent to the practice. The proposal has suggested three slabs for the base penalty – ₹250 for Second Class, ₹750 for First Class and ₹1,000 for AC local trains. So, for instance, a ticketless commuter in a Churchgate-Virar train, inside any class of compartment, is currently fined ₹250, plus the fare for the entire trip, and 5% GST in the case of First Class compartments and AC trains. Meanwhile, between April and November 2024, the WR collected ₹30.63 crore in fines from Mumbai’s suburban trains, which includes ticketless travel and unbooked luggage.
