Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Deutsche Bahn caught approximately 5000 people consuming alcohol at its train stations in Germany during the first week of a new prohibition.
The railway company expanded its security staff from 4500 to 5000 personnel to enforce the rule, which began on 15 October. Security officers initially advise people who break the rule, and most individuals comply by putting away their drinks. The railway company only issued a few house bans in isolated cases.
Evelyn Palla, the head of Deutsche Bahn, stated that the clear message of the ban is working. The company aims to create safer and cleaner stations, a move that many travelers say was overdue. The ban covers all railway platforms and station areas, though it does not apply to restaurants inside the stations or to alcohol consumption on most trains.
