They are the lifeline of mumbai, can't imagine Bombay without local trains...by the way, government is deciding to involve the private sector in running the locals, wonder how different the services would be!
As a kid I was really scared of local trains and I always used to wonder whether i'll be able to travel alone ever...but as they say life teaches you everything...now I am a daily commuter and I love it though I get irritated at times because of the rush and i travel 'alone'...all alone, amidst all the rush...people always ask me ,arpita dont you get bored travelling alone..such a long distance without any company and I just say that I have got used to it...after all I have been doing it for years...its just that it was not in a train...and i guess it will always be like this...my journey as a loner.
