These are just 9 people who have lost their lives on Mumbai’s railway tracks. But this list isn’t anywhere near a comprehensive one. Because, on an average, 9 people die while commuting on the Mumbai local EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Mumbai’s suburban Railway Network is considered the lifeline of the maximum city as it covers at least 319 kilometres across three corridors - Western, Central and Harbour. A reasonable ticket fare, reduced travel time and accessibility make the local trains most Mumbaikars’ top choice for commute throughout the year. However, this demand also means overcrowding.
