Chennai Metro Rail Limited has enacted new regulations aimed at enhancing the travel experience by minimizing noise disturbances. According to the official notification, passengers must now use headphones when consuming audio or video content on Metro trains. Activities such as watching videos at high volume or using mobile phones on speaker mode are considered violations. These new guidelines also apply to behavior within Metro premises, where loud conversations and playing audio without headphones are discouraged. The measures are backed by Section 59 of the Metro Railways (Operation and Maintenance) Act, 2002, allowing officials to impose fines of up to ₹500 for non-compliance. In extreme cases, offenders may be asked to exit the Metro to maintain a peaceful environment. The Metro authority emphasizes that maintaining a quiet atmosphere is a collective responsibility and encourages responsible commuting practices.
