Mumbai: The number of train commuters in the city keeps growing by leaps and bounds every single day, but railway authorities haven’t been able to do much to improve ground facilities for the commuters. With newly developed areas like Girangaon and Oshiwara adding up as the new ‘business centres’ in the city, railway stations attached to them need an urgent infrastructure upgradation. Even educational hubs like Vile Parle and Matunga are examples of stations that lack infrastructure to handle huge crowds.
“With over 70 lakh commuters travelling daily on the local trains, it is necessary to concentrate on quick dispersal of the people from stations,” said GR Madan, director of Mass Rapid Transit System, Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA), who is also a former-railway official.
