Please read the following rule of Western Zonal Railway carefully with legal point of view:
"This Zone has imposed distance restriction on certain long distance and superfast trains, to restrict short distance passengers from boarding these trains and encroaching upon accommodation earmarked for long distance passengers. However, short distance passengers can be booked in advance on these trains to the extent of intermediate station quota. Ticket checking staff on the station or on the train can allow passengers to travel against vacant accommodation, irrespective of the distance restriction, provided the passenger is holding a journey ticket for or short of the station upto which accommodation is available. Distance restrictions vary from train to train and are applicable to certain section of the journey."
Please give your opinion on the following:
(1) This rule prohibits the 'specified short distance' passengers from boarding the train.

There is no wrong in it.
It helps the long distance passengers.
It does not affect the short distance commuters.
In fact it also helps the commuters instead of preventing them
So, no wrong in it.

I asked whether this rule implies complete restriction on short-distance journeys in these trains. Please give your opinion again.

Every rule favors some people naturally there will be restrictions for others.
short distance travel as a rule is restricted on all long distance trains.
