Hyderabad: A day after deciding to impose a fine on people who would take the seats of woman passengers, the Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) authorities decided to impose a fine of Rs 500 on people who cross the Metro Rail tracks to get onto the other side of the station.
Metro trains are now running at a high speed and increased frequency and therefore crossing the rail tracks is very dangerous for passengers said MD, HMR, NVS Reddy in a press note here on Wednesday. Fatal accidents have occurred in similar incidents in some other Metros, he pointed out. Trespassing / crossing rail tracks is punishable offence under Metro Act with up to Rs 500 penalty and 6 months of imprisonment, he warned.
Few such incidences have been observed where passengers crossed the rail track to go to other platform. He advised everyone not to do so and instead use lift, escalator, staircase to go down to concourse level to go to the right platform.
