Ans: These rules should be taken seriously. Some people did not even know about the rules and still carries on doing them, once they get caught they can only pay the fine. Such excuses like i did not know the rules were strictly not accepted. The MRT company will wear red t-shirt to represent that they are like the DM of the MRT. Those breaking the rules must be caught in the act and must pay on the spot once their are being caught by such people.
