Footboarders Beware

You got no choice but to stand on the footboard of the local trains if you are a Mumbaiker, but of late, the TTE's are booking people who do so. Wonder what's got into them, yes, it's an offence but before no one really bothered about that, then why now suddenly the awareness?
People who are caught in the act, just complaint about the rush in the train, and as usual the TTS's don't give a damn. Today I saw the TTE's on the act at the Mumbai Central Station in the evening while coming home waiting for the train. Don't know if they were doing a god job but, some accuses were really baseless, travelers either wanting to make way for onboarders, or just trying to catch the train that was crowded. Some cases were genuine though, there were some who just blocked the ways for the onboarders.
Well, I don't know about this new act started of lately but as always there are too many flaws all around. At times people running on tracks are still ignored, and then there are some who intentionally flock around and create a scene or some kind of a racket, but go totally ignored.
Well, finally all I want to say is that, the act is good but the people who supervise i.e. the TTE's need to be trained first, and most importantly they should always catch the right person on the move.
