These “special checking drives” are just eye-wash if the objective is genuinely to curb ticketless travel. If you really want to improve passenger experience and achieve your YTD revenue targets, deploy TCs inside AC Local trains and 1st Class compartments during peak hours. Do this consistently, and you may achieve a week’s target in just a few days. Check where the crowd actually travels—not just where it is convenient to conduct a drive. @srdcmmumbaicr @Central_Railway @AshwiniVaishnaw

@AshwiniVaishnaw @Central_Railway Please look at the ground reality of AC Locals at Dombivli. No visible RPF presence, virtually no TC checking inside AC Locals, and many passengers travelling without a valid AC ticket because they know enforcement is missing. What is the fault of passengers who pay a hefty premium for an AC service? On top of overcrowding, AC Locals are also running late, adding further inconvenience to passengers who are paying extra for a premium service. Genuine passengers should not be made to suffer because of poor enforcement. Please ensure regular ticket checking and proper RPF presence, especially during peak hours. We pay for a premium service—not overcrowding, unchecked travel and delays. CC- @PMOIndia @CMOMaharashtra #ACLocal #Dombivli #MumbaiLocal

Dear @Central_Railway @GM_CRly , while data on fines collected and revenue generated may be encouraging, the situation during morning peak hours tells a very different story. AC locals are extremely overcrowded, with inadequate checking and enforcement inside the trains. Due to this overcrowding, services are running extremely late, with doors remaining open from Diva till Thane, creating serious inconvenience and safety concerns for passengers. Later, posting a few photographs of relatively empty locals by @drmmumbaicr @srdcmmumbaicr does not reflect the actual experience of daily commuters during peak hours. I respectfully request that the focus be on ground-level enforcement and passenger safety, rather than selective photographs or statistics. We pay for a reliable, safe and comfortable railway service, and we deserve nothing less.

As per CR’s previous notification, Titwala AC services were impacted till 1st September. Today is 2nd September, yet the situation continues—both AC services are still being operated from Thane instead of Titwala. With 7:15 & 7:34 Kalyan–CSMT locals completely overcrowded after Dombivli, and unauthorised passengers entering AC coaches, this is causing genuine commuter hardship. Everyday these AC locals are halting 5–6+ minutes at Diva, Mumbra & Kalwa. And today’s 10:25 AM AC cancellation adds to the frustration. CR is playing with genuine passengers who pay a premium fare for AC service. This is clearly a case of poor planning, mismanagement and inadequate passenger-focused operations. @Central_Railway @RailMinIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw

Titwala AC local should have been originated from Kalyan instead of Thane during the block. This would have genuinely helped passengers from the affected section and eased overcrowding at Thane. Running the service from Thane feels more like “just for the sake of operating it” than addressing actual passenger needs. @Central_Railway @RailMinIndia
