A video circulated on the Internet showed the serious problems faced by Mumbai’s local train commuters.
Mumbai, known for its fast-paced life and often called the ‘city that never sleeps’, continues to face the challenges of rapid urbanisation. As the financial capital of India, the city has seen significant growth over the past decade, with towering buildings and a steady influx of people migrating from all over the country for better opportunities. This rapid increase in population has put enormous pressure on Mumbai’s infrastructure, especially its iconic local trains.
Recently, a video circulating on the Internet captured a chaotic scene at Kalyan Junction. It shows the problems faced by Mumbai local train commuters. Shared on microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), the footage shows several women pushing and shoving to get on a train. The video pans across the station, revealing a dense crowd struggling to find space.
While many people were trying to get into the train, others were waiting patiently for the next one.
The video quickly went viral as many shared their own experiences of the city’s overcrowded trains.
A user wrote, “Mumbai’s local trains are always overcrowded due to the narrow layout of the city along the coast, which makes it difficult to expand train lines. Also, with so many people and rapid urban growth, it’s a real challenge to keep up with this huge population.”
Another said, “The worst is that they cancel trains every day. Not even one train ran on time. That causes worse congestion.”
So far, the viral clip has collected more than 3.7 lakh views on X.
