@khubsuratinsaan @contrapunctus @vantablack As somone who is inebriated sometimes while on public transit, ive said this before and I will say this again, the actual rule of not being under the influence is not for High Caste or High Class people, I have dragged an obviously drunk friend who couldnt keep themselves up halfway across the city.

The rule is an excuse to refuse service to homeless people and people on the lower social strata

@khubsuratinsaan @vantablack @contrapunctus i'd say its rather intended, the Metro system is trying and designed for, one can say its unintended, but I don't buy it from how much the metro is always talked about as "the middle classes' transit". Drinking Alcohol is certainly a taboo, I grew up in that and have been deconstructing a lot of that, Every class group drinks, the stereotype of standing in line and drinking local booze is always just of the poor
