A Travelling Ticket Inspector (TTI) Rubina Akib Inamdar created a record of sorts in collecting Rs 45,705 on a single day as fine from 150 ticketless passengers on the Mumbai suburban train receiving accolades from Central Railway’s top honcho.
It may be noted that ticketless travel remains a persistent issue on Mumbai’s suburban railway network, particularly in AC local and First Class compartments. Many commuters from general compartments often sneak into these reserved coaches, especially during peak hours, making it difficult for legitimate ticket holders to find a seat. This has been a cause for concern warranting the railway authorities to conduct surprise checks on the suburban trains.
Interestingly, Rubina Akib Inamdar belongs to the Tejaswani second batch under Mumbai railway division. A post in the X page by a Central Railway recently stated, “Record-breaking single-day performance in ticket checking. Congrats to Rubina AkibInamadar, (TTI) Travelling Ticket Inspector, Tejaswini 2 Batch, Mumbai Division. Today, she detected a total of 150 irregular/without-ticket cases, generating Rs. 45,705 in ticket checking revenue, including Rs. 16,430 from 57 without-ticket cases in First Class. A truly rockstar single-day performance.”
The most special achievement is that Rubina caught 57 people travelling without tickets in first class, collecting Rs.14,000 from these irregular passengers.
