Shashwat Maheshwari

The Delhi Metro is the lifeline of the N.C.R. It has surely made travel cheaper and convenient. But some of their meticulously prepared rules for passengers are so absurd, you wonder why they exist. Have a look at these gems.

1. Carrying ‘dangerous & offensive material’ on the Metro is not allowed.So you know, throw away that Chetan Bhagat book before boarding.

2. Also, you can’t ‘unlawfully’ put up posters in the metro.

Damn it. That was my life’s ambition.

Damn it. That was my life’s ambition.

3. You’re not allowed to travel on the roof of the metro.And if you do,they charge you a whopping fine of Rs.50

Apparently, that’s the value of a human life.

4. In contrast, throwing “something” with an intention to harm a co-passenger or the Metro will result in life imprisonment!

5. Explosions aren’t allowed.

What!

6. Unauthorized sale of tickets will fetch you a fine of Rs.500.So don’t even try unless you’re confident of making at least that much.

7. ‘Wilfully’ obstructing any Metro official leads to one year imprisonment.

What does that even mean? I’m not allowed to stand in front of them? I’m not supposed to bump into them? What?

8. Carrying your backpacks on your backs is not allowed on the Delhi Metro.

So… fuck logic?

9. Eating,drinking,playing music and leaning on the doors is prohibited on the metro.” Baaki sab kar sakte ho.”

10. Sitting on the floor of the metro is not allowed.

Now this is one rule that everyone has broken at least once.

11. You can’t carry your pets on the Metro.

Yeah,like I’d take my dog into that Rajiv Chowk rush.

But rules are rules. And if you break them, the DMRC will break you…
