I generally travel by second class but bought a First Class AC ticket paying 5 times more and got this in return. Dear Central Railway Ashwini Vaishnaw The air-conditioned local trains is not a solution but a problem. In the rush hour, there is no mechanism of crowd control...

There is no ticket checker. AC trains are running late most of the times because opening and closing the doors in such conditions take 2 minutes instead of 45 seconds. They along with numerous long distance trains running on the same tracks collapse the suburban timetable.

The best thing about the Mumbai suburban railway despite its crowd and open doors causing safety issues, was there is a train every 3/5 minutes. Because of introduction of AC trains and delayed express tauna that gap has increased to 10 minutes: sometimes more. Instead of

I am traveling by local trains since last 30 years and the situation which improved in the first 5 years of Modi Govt is turning from bad to worse. The cost of millions of people reaching office late by 15/30 minutes everyday should be accounted for.

@Central_Railway @AshwiniVaishnaw Oh sure, it’s always the government's fault. Not the absolute lack of basic civic sense. Sometimes I wish we had security personnel with danda duty, maybe that’s the only language people understand.

@Central_Railway @AshwiniVaishnaw And now it's a government problem ? The citizens also need to care about their life.

@Central_Railway @AshwiniVaishnaw There appears to be no viable and lasting solution since locals are running every 3-5 minutes. Deindustrialise mumbai to some extent, and promote in other areas like marathwada etc. Stop new development in Mumbai and over obsession about it being Fin Capital etc..

@Central_Railway @AshwiniVaishnaw Mumbai is overcrowded because of outsiders, the government needs to take action on outsiders entry in Mumbai.. Otherwise the situation will become worse than ever @Dev_Fadnavis @mybmc

@Central_Railway @AshwiniVaishnaw They have no idea of the ground reality. That's the reason the decisions are reactionary.

@Central_Railway @AshwiniVaishnaw In our country govt resources are not as per the growing population. If 10 years 2 trains were running even after 10 years 2 or May be 4 trains are running but population of that area has increased manifold .

@Central_Railway @AshwiniVaishnaw There's only one mechanism to avoid this situation develop other states.
