Traveling Experience in Mumbai local Train.

The Mumbai Suburban Railway system is the division of the public transport scheme of Mumbai, is provided for by the state-run Indian Railways' two zonal Western Railways and Central Railways. The system takes more than 6.9 million commuters on a daily basis and amount to more than half of the total daily passenger capacity of the Indian Railways itself. It has one of the maximum passenger compactness of any urban railway organization in the world. The trains running on its routes are commonly named as local trains or simply as dhimi locals by the general populace.

Local Trains solves major transport problem Mumbai. Most of the city-dwellers depend on Mumbai Suburban Railway to travel within the metropolis. The wide-ranging network of Railways generally named as three lines Western Line, the Central Main Line and the Harbour Line. Mumbai is totally covered by local train network.

Generally I use my car or office car for traveling. Some time I travel by bus. But yesterday I decided to travel by train, so I traveled by train from Koperkhareian to Lower Parle, what I experience that I gained I am going to explain. Yesterday was first journey in local train in Mumbai. I had never any idea about Mumbai local train before. I was waited train in platform, I asked a person which I train I will cache to go Lower Parle, that fellow told me by which train you want to go, i told him, I didn�t get ,I mean what train means, local train. He explained me here is two type of train, one is local train and another one dhimi local train, I asked that what�s meaning local train and dhimi local train, so he told, this was first time I know that two type of local train, I have also visited in kolkota�s local train, there you will get one train for local journey.

Traveling in second class is absolutely very cheap, but it is outstandingly crowded. For women, there are special coaches on both classes in all the trains. They are quite better and safer than the common ones. So the local train filled to capacity, with people hanging out of the doorway, and perched atop the train. This is a sight most Mumbaikars are glowing accustomed to. Efforts by the civic body to somehow reduce the congestion have so far been unfruitful.

Anyway from Koper kharaina to Lower Parle I changed four trains to reach my destination. This was first time that I changed four trains within three hours.What I goanna going to say Mumbai dhimi local train and also local train are so much rush. I cached one local train, the train is too much rush, even also no place to keep on foot, people are gathering in front of the gate instead of going inside. In a bogie you can noticed that passengers are excess, No air to take, it was very difficult to take me air, Through out my traveling I didn�t get any seat even also no free place to stand. My shoe was getting full of dust and my shirts that you can determine. I was thinking how the people are daily traveling in local train.

One traveler was traveling this train with her four children, I was noticed her, at that time I was thinking how she traveled in rush train. I asked that lady, Madam how you traveled in dhimi local train with your child, even also no space to stand. She told what we will do bus service is not available frequently and also train. I was thinking when I will reach my destination. I didn�t get any bus so I thought I have to return by train, I was booked ticket form Lower Parle to Dader I got empty train, so think it�s ok., then I went to Kurla. In kurula station I was waiting train to vasi station, after few spend I noticed that one local train is coming that is only local not dhimi local, Iasked one gently man, this will go Vashi, he told yes, what I will say, the train is full of pack, this train just stand only 2 minutes, according to me in two minute it was very difficult to inside such a rush train, I missed that train any how I cached another train then I reached Vashi station.So this was my first experience travel in local train, really traveling in local train is very dangerous. So when traveling bewares pocket kepper, in local train there is chance of thief.

According to me Mumbai should needs Bypass Surgery

Mumbai needs lot of infrastructural as well as techno-politic upgrades need to be implemented in order to guarantee a comfortable ride to the average Mumbaikar. Generally the �rush hour� needs to be tackled as well. More people should not drawn toward the public transport system.

Experience in BEST Bus Travel in Mumbai

Mumbai previously Bombay, capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra. As of 2009, Mumbai is the largest city in the world in terms of population, with the city proper having a population of around 14 million inhabitants and along with the neighbouring cities of Navi Mumbai and Thane, it forms an urban agglomeration with around 19 million people. Mumbai lies on the west coast of India and has a deep natural harbour. Mumbai is also the commercial and entertainment centre of India, We can find all categories of people like industrialists, film-stars, artists, workers, teachers and clerks - all living cheek-by-jowl in soaring skyscrapers and sprawling slums. They come from diverse ethnic backgrounds and speak over a dozen tongues, adding colour, flavour and texture to the Great Mumbai Melting Pot.

There is a reason why am writing this topic. Every body knows Mumbai is one of the most major cities of India. We can find various people from various state and country. So life is busy and much faster then in Mumbai compare to other cities of India.

Some though might say Mumbai bus travel is a form of distress. The hopeful might call it a �life experience�. That�s why the excellent train network is the preferred transport in Mumbai where available.

The only disadvantage which is common to all Bus travel is the traffic on the roads. No big city anywhere in this world is free of traffic jams. Same is the state here. It takes around 1 to 2 or even 3 hrs sometimes for a one-way journey. So total of minimum 3 hrs traveling everyday!

I always travel in BEST Bus. Some how the bus service provided by BEST good but not better. I am last 2 months in Mumbai and traveling in BEST bus every day. What I feeling every day from BEST bus services that I am going tail.

Less frequency of buses

There are lots of people who travel daily on Best Bus. Most of them have monthly DIAMOND pass which cost Rs 1000. But the service provided by BEST is not equal to the standard except the buses. The frequency is very low that people have to stand for 1 and half hour. The people generally depend more number of frequency in morning and evening due their office

Bad service of BEST Bus

Few buses of ticket collector have no knowledge how to behave with other. They behave like a illiterate person, they are not punctuality in their job. Irregular Bus service. The bus services are totally bad. Day by day the frequency of this bus is going down. Now days i have to wait for 1 hr or sometimes more for this bus. Many a times 4 buses comes in 5 minutes gap and then for 2 hrs no bus. The drivers sometimes didn�t even stop the buses at bus stops though not their fault coz no1 can enter the jam packed buses.
