Offenders still get away with fines of between R150 and R200

It's not unusual to see commuters, who fail to find room in the space-crunched local trains, thoughtlessly hop on to the handicapped coach. What they don't know is that this breach could land them behind bars for at least two years with a fine of R1 lakh. But, thanks to the railway police, which is knowingly cutting them some slack, the offenders are getting away with measly fines.
