Central Railway catching 1,500 illegal travellers daily since January 1; gets Rs 1 7 crore in fines | Mumbai News

Covid tests being done at Mumbai Central for outstation passengers MUMBAI: There has been a major jump in unauthorized travellers in suburban local trains, as around 1,500 people are caught daily by Central Railway ticket examiners since January 1. Even though suburban services resumed from June 15, common citizens are still not permitted to travel. Services are only for essential service workers as categorized by state government. A senior CR official said, “Between June and December 2020, 70,000 commuters were caught ticketless or for unauthorized travel. This helped us mop up nearly Rs 1.7 crore in earnings from unauthorized passengers. But offenders are gradually increasing, which indicates that people are willing to take a risk of being fined to travel in local trains as their livelihood is at stake.”
