Namma Metro commuters who play music or videos on speaker mode or watch content without earphones could now face a penalty of up to Rs 2,500 under revised rules that came into effect on June 19.
The higher penalties were introduced following amendments to the Metro Railways (Operation and Maintenance) Act, 2002, through the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2026. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) has now implemented the revised provisions to curb passenger nuisance inside Metro coaches. Earlier this week, Chennai Metro also began enforcing the amended rules.
