The demand for AC locals on the Western Railway has increased so much that it is getting difficult to close the doors of the coaches during peak hours. The crowding has intensified and RPF personnel are now seen pushing passengers into the train during rush hours to help the doors close. This scenario on WR is in total contrast to CR where AC locals are being opposed.
The number of takers for AC locals generally increase during summer months as well as in October, when the mercury rises in the city. In addition, the state government’s move to slash the fare for AC locals has also led to the increase in passengers.
