In a recent development, the Chennai Metro Rail Corporation has issued a statement clarifying that there is no ticket inspection on its metro trains. The statement was issued in response to complaints that some individuals were harassing passengers in the name of ticket inspectors.
According to the statement, the only means of ticket checking is through automated ticket checking machines at metro stations, which scan travel cards, QR codes, and tokens. The administration has warned that any individuals acting as ticket inspectors will face legal action by the police.
The clarification comes as a relief to Chennai Metro Rail passengers, who can now travel without fear of being harassed by individuals claiming to be ticket inspectors. The Chennai Metro Rail Corporation has urged passengers to report any such incidents to the authorities immediately.
