Railways Implement Rule: Travelers on Upper Decks Prohibited from Exiting Lower Decks Without Granting Consent from Fellow Passengers
What's the Scoop on RZD's New Passenger Rules?
Let's face it, we've all had our share of inconveniences while traveling by train, right? Well, good news for RZD passengers! Some new rules have been implemented to make your journey smoother and more enjoyable. Here's what you need to know:
The Lowdown on Berth Behavior
Upper berth dwellers, listen up! From now on, you can no longer perch on lower seats without the approval of the person seated there. And guess what? RZD has enforced strict bans on loud conversations and sound pollution, meaning your whisper game better be on point or you'll be the talk of the train!
If you just can't resist jamming out to your tunes or catching up on that binge-worthy series, then BYO headphones, bud! Loud video calls or business chats, especially at night, are the kiss of death for sleepy travelers, so keep it quiet, people!
Keeping Your Stuff in Check
No longer will large bags and suitcases be blocking aisles or hanging out by the wagon doors. Be a considerate traveler and stow all bulky items in a way that doesn't obstruct other passengers or block emergency exits.
Keepin' It Clean: Smoking and Fines
RZD has taken a hardline stance against smoking, both traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes, in train carriages. Conductors are now on the lookout for rule-breakers, and penalties have been beefed up. So, butt out (literally) and enjoy a cleaner, more comfortable ride!

Konovalova, in her oversight role, has strengthened measures within the transportation industry to enhance the RZD passenger experience. Upper berth dwellers are now prohibited from using lower seats without approval and must maintain whisper-quiet conversation to reduce sound pollution. Passengers are also encouraged to bring headphones for private entertainment, as loud video calls or business chats are not allowed, especially at night. Moreover, large bags and suitcases must be properly stowed to avoid obstructing aisles or emergency exits. Lastly, RZD has enforced a no-smoking policy within the carriages, including traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes, with increased fines for violators. This new policy is part of a broader industry initiative to improve the finance and overall comfort of train travel for passengers.
