Central Railway's Mumbai Division conducts intensive ticket checking in Suburban, Mail Express, Passenger services, and special trains across all divisions to curb ticket less and irregular travel in order to provide comfortable travel and better services to all bonafide rail users.
During the FY 2022-23 (April 1- December 10, 2022), a total of 14.39 lakh cases of ticketless/irregular travel and unbooked luggage were detected as against 8.99 lakh cases in the corresponding period last year thereby showing an increase of 60%. The revenue realized from such ticketless/irregular travel is ₹81.70 crore for the period from 1st Apr-10th Dec 2022 as against the revenue of ₹45.66 crores registered during the same period last year showing an increase of 79%.
Railways appeals to the passengers to travel with proper and valid railway tickets in order to avoid inconvenience and travel with dignity.
In addition, Central Railways' (CR) Mumbai Division has started a unique initiative towards plastic free environment. This initiative has been started in the direction of making the railway premises plastic free. The staff at the catering stalls on the stations have been sensitized by the DRM Mumbai to serve/sell the food items in eco-friendly paper bags instead of plastic bags.
The employees working at all stalls have been given the status of 'Safai Yoddha' and they are being encouraged to actively participate in this campaign. Along with this, our esteemed customers are also being requested to cooperate in this campaign through various media. This will not only help in keeping the environment clean but will also solve the problem of water logging during the rainy season due to plastic bags which get stuck up in the drainage system.
