Now, rail passengers to pay six-time penalty for carrying excess luggage

以后坐火车，行李超重的话，乘客要支付6倍罚款了

NEW DELHI: Just like air travel, now beware of carrying excess luggage while travelling in trains as well.

As a result of numerous complaints regarding excess baggage being towed into train compartments, the Indian Railways has decided to strictly enforce its over-three-decades-old baggage allowance rules, which will see passengers paying up to six times the stipulated amount as penalty, if caught travelling with overweight luggage, an official said today.

跟坐飞机一样，以后坐火车别行李超重了。

一直以来，人们对过多行李堆放在车厢里而怨声载道。对此，印度铁路部门决定严格执行已经推行30多年的乘客携带行李规定。行李超重，如果被抓的话，将缴纳6倍罚款。

According to the prescribed norms, a sleeper class and a second class passenger can carry luggage weighing 40 kg and 35 kg respectively without paying any extra money and a maxmum of 80 kg and 70 kg respectively by paying for the excess luggage at the parcel office. The excess luggage would have to be put in the luggage van.

按照标准，乘坐卧铺和二等车厢的乘客，分别可以免费携带40公斤和35公斤的行李，最多分别携带80公斤和70公斤行李，并在包裹房支付额外行李托运费。

超过的行李放入行李车上。

For example, if a passenger is travelling 500 km with luggage weighing 80 kg in the sleeper class, he can book his excess baggage of 40 kg for Rs 109 in the luggage van.

比如，一位乘客坐的是卧铺，全程500公里，最多能携带的行李是80公斤。他可以把40公斤的行李放入在行李车上，费用是109卢比。

However, if he fails to do so and is caught with the excess luggage, he will end up paying a penalty of Rs 654.

如果私自携带上车被抓的话，他将为超重的行李支付654卢比的罚款。

I think this is required. These are passenger trains and mot freight trains. 35KG for a passenger is a lot. People carrying heavy baggage cause inconvenience to others in the coach.

这样做是必要的。那可是客运列车，不是货运列车

一个乘客携带35公斤行李已经很多了。携带太重的行李，会给车厢内的其他乘客造成不便的

看来这届政府是想捞老百姓的钱财，才不关心人们的福利呢！丢脸

What about un licensed vendors carrying fruits and pallis etc-there is no penalty for them?

那些私自贩卖水果的摊贩呢，就不对他们罚款吗？

That''s acceptable because it takes fuel to carry weight. Now how about compensating money for train delays. Better waiting rooms so that people don''t have to sleep on platform floors. Cleaner washrooms

可以接受，火车跑动是需要燃料的

不过火车晚点能赔偿乘客吗。
