Over 88 per cent of commuters in Mumbai travel by public transport, out of which the local trains — with their impressive reach and connectivity — are the most preferred. In fact, Mumbai’s local train system’s capacity to carry a multitude of commuters is legendary. It is estimated that over 7.5 million people commute by the local trains daily, making it one of the busiest commuter rail systems in the world.
