Western railway officials, looking at recent travelling patterns of commuters, have observed that the crowd movement on suburban trains is shifting northwards towards Bandra, Andheri and Borivli, and South Mumbai is no longer the prime location for commuters. Railway officials reached this conclusion after taking into account ticket sales and data on crowding at WR stations.
New suburban services are now being tweaked with a focus on the northern suburbs. “We introduced 11 new services on April 5. You will see that only a few pairs go all the way to Churchgate. The rest terminate at Borivli, Dadar, Andheri and Bandra,” WR Mumbai Divisional Railway Manager Niraj Verma said.
