Etihad Rail: passengers can be ejected for noise, intoxication, or code violations

Etihad Rail operators are authorised to ask a passenger to leave the train or station immediately. For instance, when playing audio onboard Etihad Rail trains, passengers are required to keep the volume at a reasonable level so as not to disturb those around them.

Etihad Rail has published a Passenger Charter outlining grounds for immediate removal from trains and stations. Operators may eject passengers who play audio loudly, are intoxicated or unfit, or whose clothing may soil or damage property. The charter prohibits smoking, vaping, abusive behaviour, interference with doors, photography without consent, and littering. Violations of the Code of Conduct can result in removal; if a passenger refuses, Etihad Rail personnel may use reasonable force. Passengers who repeatedly travel without a valid ticket may be banned from all Etihad Rail services.
