Insurance on Rail
Tickets
In Mumbai, there is a group that runs an
‘insurance’ service for ticket-less travel
on local trains. There are millions of
passengers
...
more...
that use Mumbai local trains
every day and therefore the statistical
chances of one being caught is very
slim. How the systems works is like this,
you have to pay a very small fee to the
‘insurance gang’ each month. This is
only about 1/10th of the expense for a
monthly railway pass. You never need to
buy a ticket, but keep travelling as
always on the trains. If you get caught,
don’t argue and just pay the fine. Come
back to your ‘agent’ with the fine receipt,
hand it over to him and you will be
reimbursed of you fine. Everyone wins
except for the Indian Railways of course.
TRUE. MUMBAIKARS??????
